echo username whilst logged in?

[burge124]

hi,

ive got a standard login page named checklogin.php with user id called UserName. id like to echo on all of the pages that they visit whilst logged in their username (similar to this pages top left hand corner "Hello "UserName"".

 

Do i need to use this function or is this just to check that the user is registered?

 

<?

session_start();

if(!session_is_registered(myusername)){

header("location:main_login.php");

}

?>

 

do i need to use an include function from the checklogin.php page?

thanks

in your login code

 

add

 

$_SESSION["UserName"] = "the username info, mysql you need to run a query then dispaly the result eg" $RS["userName"]

 

then on everypage have your

 

session_start();

 

then to call the session either put it in a variable and write the variable or straight up use the session eg

 

echo $_SESSION["UserName"]

 

or in a variable

 

$user = $_SESSION["UserName"]

 

echo $user

 

simple

 

that code you are quotign above is to check it the user is regsitered yes
