When they login you could probably just set a cookie and then retrieve the information from the mysql database using a SELECT from statement. What I would do is create a cookie for username and password. Then check if those two are set (look up "isset" on php.net). Then if the password and username match the ones in the table, retrieve the username and use an echo or print to display it. you'll need to use the following code isset - to check if the cookie has been set - http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.isset.php SELECT * FROM yourtablename WHERE username = 'setusername' AND password = 'setpassword' (this is a mysql query, look it up on google or mysql.com) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/42003-display-username/#findComment-204092 Share on other sites More sharing options...
