Outputting Username to stay at top of page throughout user session.

[jameson9]

Hi, newbie here so I will try and explain as best I can.

 

I have a successful login and session created using PHP and MYSQL and now I would like to have the username appear at the top of the screen after successful login, and possibly, though not necessarily , throughout the entire user session until logout.

 

Any suggestions as to the easiest, lightest weight and newbie friendly code to use?

 

Thanks.

<?php
session_start();

print $_SESSION['username'];
?>

build a function to pull the username from the session variable then echo that... call teh function wherever you want the username displayed
