sessions and id not continuing

[rdkd1970]

When I was using the while statement it was welcoming everyone in the db. I changed the while for an if statement it is not producing anything could be how I have it laid out I tried different ways to code it. Here is my latest.

 

$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
extract ($row);
if ($id == $firstname){

  echo "Welcome, $firstname";

Here is another way I tried it will display the Welcome not the name

 

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
if ($id == $row['firstname']){
echo "Welcome, $row['firstname']";
}
