echo php in between html code

[nadiam]

this is my php code for my profile.php. it is to display the users name after login.

 

 

1. <?php
2. session_start();
3.  
4. require "connect.php";
5. if($_SESSION['name'])
6. {
7. $name = $_SESSION['name'];
8. $query = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM register WHERE name ='$name'");
9. $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
10.  
11. if(1 == $numrows)
12. {
13. while ($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
14. {
15. echo "Welcome, ".$rows['name']."!";
16. }
17. }
18. }
19.  
20. ?>

 

i want to display this:

 

 

1. while ($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
2. {
3. echo "Welcome, ".$rows['name']."!";
4. }

 

between some html. ive tried but it isnt working. this is the code i did:

 

<?php if(1 == $numrows) { ?><?php while (@$rows = mysql_fetch_assoc(@$query))?><h3><?php echo "Welcome, ".@$rows['name']; ?><?php }?>

 

i tried:

 

<?php while (@$rows = mysql_fetch_assoc(@$query))?><h3><?php echo "Welcome, ".@$rows['name']; ?>

 

but both doesnt work. as in only "Welcome, " is displayed in my page.

 

any pointers is much appreciated!

You already have the name in $_SESSION['name'] variable so why are you querying the database for their name again?

 

You can just use this.

echo "Welcome, ".$_SESSION['name']."!";

Also note you only use the while loop if your query returns more than one row.
