Thank you very much Whitey!

I am new to php, and I had the following question:

I know that to see if the user is logged in I use the following code:

if(session_is_registered(myusername))
{
echo "Display to member";
}

What i want to do is say "Welcome, (and the user's name)"

How do I get php to actually print the person's name.

I tried using this code

$myusername = $_SESSION[myusername];

and then simply saying

echo "Welcome, " .$myusername;

but that doesnt work

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.
Thank you in advance

$myusername = $_SESSION['myusername'];
echo("Welcome, ".ucfirst($myusername));

I use ucfirst becuase it will cap the first letter of the word. Makes it neater

[kentona]

I need help with this. I have everything working except i get this error when one of my users registers to the site,

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /***/***/***/***/config.php on line 9

The *** by the way is my personal information so i have it protected using that but i checked my config file and everything seems to be fine.

<?php
class MySQLDB
{
   var $connection;         //The MySQL database connection

   /* Class constructor */
   function MySQLDB(){
      /* Make connection to database */
      $this->connection = @mysql_connect(localhost, ***, ***) or die(mysql_error());
      @mysql_select_db(***, $this->connection) or die(mysql_error());
    }
    /**
    * query - Performs the given query on the database and
    * returns the result, which may be false, true or a
    * resource identifier.
    */
    //Use this function as query("Query line of code");
   function query($query){
      return mysql_query($query, $this->connection);
   }
};

$config = new MySQLDB;
?>

Thanks for any help given.

Hmm....
Mayby on the page where it gives you the option to logout you could add some stuff like code to display their username- just to point readers in the right direction.
