It would be beneficial to not only yourself, but the many helpful people on Neowin if you made one topic and kept in in it. Your never going to get support if you constantly keep creating topics.

To answer your question; it depends how your login system works. Form your previous posts, I believe your using sessions, so it would simple work as follows:

echo 'Hello: '.$_SESSION['username'];

(Replace username with whatever your usernames session is stored as. And keep the ''.

Uh, this is just HTML code. What Tjcrazy provided you with was some PHP.

What kind of system are you using as a backend? I assume it's some kind of forum system. How do you handle the login and how do you store the user details?

Yes the login and registration page work 100% fine. I thought maybe it was for .php page but the page i have at the mo for my homepage is .HTML so should i change the file type?

For my database i use XAMPP which has myphp and mySQL etc

for login / registration i use seperate .PHP files

jamessyfx is correct, the code I gave was for a .php file.

From what I've seen in your stupid-amount of previous topics, The code I gave you should work with your system. Obviously, without your entire .html file, I can't give you the full code, but this should work:

        <tbody>
          <tr height="54" valign="top">
            <td style="BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px">
              <br/>
              <a href="Untitled1.html">
                <font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC">
                  <strong>Home</strong> </font></a>
              <font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC">
                <strong> | Forum | </strong> </font>
              <a href="Untitled3.html"></a>
              <a href="Untitled3.html">
                <font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC">
                  <strong>Hottest Uni's</strong> </font></a>
              <font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC">
                <strong>|</strong> </font>
              <font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC">
                <strong>
                  <a href="Untitled3.html">
                    <font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC">
                      <strong>Rate your Uni </strong>
                    </font></a>
                </strong>
              </font>
              <font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC">
                <strong>| Uni LAD test | Events |</strong> </font>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table><br/><br/><br/></div>
    <div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px">

          <tbody>

Change the file extension to .php and make sure at the very top of the page you have:

<?php
session_start();
?>

I'm happy to give help, but also should comment on your website structure. The HTML tables you used... awful.

Come on guys, let's wind back the "rawr" somewhat. ;)

Hopefully, louismoore16 will realise the, awesome and free, skills that you guys are offering up and will be as helpful as they can.

Anthony.

I made clear my favourite part of that post ;)

Error

Notice: Undefined index: username in C:\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\Untitled1.php on line 146

You haven't changed the $_SESSION variable to the name of your session. Because I'm a nice, friendly chap; I looked at a previous post and deduced that your variable is 'myusername'.

So simply, change

$_SESSION['username']

TO

$_SESSION['myusername']

It would be helpful if you gave us the rest of the code. Us friendly guys struggle to help when we can't find out whats wrong.

That error code is gone now, its now saying

Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in C:\xampp\htdocs\mywebsite\Untitled1.php on line 142

do you still need code?

Use that. You were missing a ']'.

What should i change 'if (isset($_SESSION['loggedIn'])) ' too coz i took this code of a website and i dont think it is relevant to mine

Also it is still displaying the same message

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
