tomfmason Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 ok what you are referring to is sessions or cookies. for sessions do this in your login script.at the begining of your script put this. This must come first, before anything else.[code=php:0]<?phpsession_start();[/code]Now after you process the login. You can set the session variables like this[code=php:0]$_SESSION['username'] = $username[/code] You can repeat this for anything that you want to store in the session Now you can display this is html like this[code=php:0]<html><head><title>Test Page</title></head><body><p>Welcome <b><?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?></b>. You are now logged in.</p><!---some more html---></body></html>[/code]Hope this helps,Tom Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/16019-login-display/#findComment-65877 Share on other sites More sharing options...
