[SOLVED] Call text from database

[cfgcjm]

I've created a secured user portal through php and what i want to do is once the user access the success page have a greeting on the page that uses their name "Welcome John". The Following is my session check code:

<?php
/* Is User Logged In? */
session_start();
// this is just your every day page where you would want someone logged in to view the info
if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == TRUE) { // user is logged in
print '';
} elseif ($_SESSON['loggedin'] == FALSE) { // user is not logged in
header("location:reject.htm"); // Use is not logged in. Send to notloggedinpage.php
      exit;
}
?>

 

My login Script uses the following to save the user's name to a variable:

$_SESSION['name'] = $row['first_name'];

 

How to i display that variable as part of the HTML of my page?

Yes! that worked...I wasn't sure if you could have more than one set of php code in an HTML Document
