AdRock Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I am very new to using sessions so i don't know if it's possible and how to do it.1st question.When a user logins to the site, how do i display their name much like in here where you see hello username?I have a session called $_SESSION['username']2nd questionI obviously have a link to login. When the user successfully logs in is there a way of changing the link to logout so there is no option for the user to login again?3rd questionHow would i go about having a 'remember me' so the user doesn't have to login next time they visit the site?Many thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyican Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 1)You can echo the sessionecho $_SESSION["username"];2) again using the above var and an if statementif($_SESSION["username"]){echo "logout link";}else{echo "log in link";}3)Use cookiesand set the field data, then on log in page, call the cookie, if its there complete the form with the info in the cookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
