Sessions

[supermerc]

Hi I'm trying to welcome my members so when they come in to my page it will say welcome, Your Name, You are logged in as Username.

 

<?
session_start();
require("config.php");
require("functions.php");
echo '<p>Welcome, '.$_SESSION['s_name'].',</p>';
echo '<p>You are logged in as '.$_SESSION['s_username'].'.</p>';
?> 

 

But It doesnt show the username, for some reason it shows the database username...

 

Here is my login script, incase you need it to help:

 

<?php
      session_start();
      require("config.php");
      require("functions.php");
       
      //echo some styles to spice it up...
      echo "
      <style>
      body
      {
      background: #ffffff;
      font-family: Verdana, Arial;
      font-weight: bold;
      font-size: 9px;
      color: #000000;
      }
      .register_box
      {
      border: 1px solid #323232;
      background: #202020;
      font-family: Verdana, Arial;
      font-weight: bold;
      font-size: 9px;
      color: #FFFFFF;
      }
      </style>
      ";
       
      if(!isset($_SESSION['logged_in']))
      {
      if(!isset($_POST['check_login']))
      {
      echo "
      <form action='login.php' method='post'>
      Username: <input type='text' name='username' />
      <br />
      Password: <input type='password' name='password' />
      <br />
      <input type='submit' name='check_login' value='Login' />
      </form>
      ";
      }
      elseif(isset($_POST['check_login']))
      {
      $username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
      $password = md5($_POST['password']);
       if(empty($_POST['password']) || empty($username))
      {
      echo "You left a field blank!";
      }
      else
      {
      $check_login = mysql_query("SELECT username, password, id FROM user_system WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password' LIMIT 1");
      if(mysql_num_rows($check_login) > 0)
      {
      $_SESSION['logged_in'] = 1;
      $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
      echo "You have been successfully logged in!";
      }
      else
      {
      echo "Sorry. Wrong password, or user does not exist.";
      }
      }
      }
      }
      else
      {
      echo "You are already logged in.";
      }
      ?> 

 

Thank you.

     $_SESSION['username'] = $username;

 

You call it 'username' in your login script, not 's_username'.

 

And for that matter I can't see where the 's_name' is coming from.

You never set any values in $_SESSION['s_name'] or $_SESSION['s_username'] in your login script.

 

Try $_SESSION['username'] as is set in your login script.

[willpower]

yes thats right you have echo $_SESSION['s_username'] ...change that

Ya, its when i have $_SESSION['username'] That it gives my my database name/username instead of the username. the s was from my old script, and name if for something im going to do later on. But ya, $_SESSION['username'] doesnt work.

If you want to go see, http://random.awardspace.biz/ is site, you can use test//ilmilm or supermerc/ilmilm to login, you will see it gives supermerc_random for both, which is database name/username.
