For a start this line looks dodgy. You have an opening curly bracket but no closing bracket

 

<?php if ($username){?>

Sorry didn't spot that. I really should read posts properly before posting!

 

I just ran your code without including the header or footer and with a session usname set at the top. It worked fine.

 

Is there more php in your header or footer? And are you sure the username sessions is getting set?

 

 

 

 

  its this <?php

}

else

echo "<font color='red'><center><h1>You must be logged in to view this page.</h1></center></font>";

[ecabrera]

its just the html header format

Then since it works for me have you tried just echoing out the session variable for "username"?

 

i.e. remove all the other code and just start your session and echo out that variable to make sure it's getting passed in correctly.

 

This code works perfectly for me:

 

 

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = "twinky"; // set this to test the variable
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
?>
<?php
// require "header.php";
?>
<?php if ($username){?>

<?php

echo "<br/><br/>"."Welcome <b>$username</b>, <a href='logout.php'>Logout</a href>"."<br /><br />";

?>
<?php

echo "<center><h2>Hey $username! What do you want to do?</h2></center>";

?>

how would i set up a seesion

[Drongo_III]

sorry i just meant start the session with session_start() like you have  and then echo out the $_session['username'] to ensure a value is actually being passed to it.

 

 

how would i set up a seesion

Are you sure the error is not in say your header.php or footer.php files?
