Show Users name after login

richiwatts · Feb 10, 2008

I have just change the entries in my database from Name to "first_name" and "surname"

I deleted some code from my Index page that used to show the User name. I want it to show "first_name surname"

What do I need to have where it says xxx?

Code:

	  <? if ($ses_actual->user_id > 0) { ?>
	  Welcome,<br><b>
	  <?=$ses_actual->xxx?>
	  </b>

we can't answer that question. you would need to show us your login script and probably your database schema.

the fact that you ask this kind of question would lead me to suggest that you don't play with login /security functions until you know more about php.

Here is the login script

Code:

if ($s){
        //valid
        //eliminates other active sessions by this user
        //$q = "delete from top_sessions where email = '".$log->getEmail()."'";

        //mysql_query($q,$r);

        //eliminates previous session in this machine if it exists
        if (strlen($_COOKIE['idsu']) > 0){
                $q = "delete from sessions where id = '".$_COOKIE['idsu']."'";
                mysql_query($q);
        }
        $now = time();
        $random = rand();
        $idsu = md5($now.$random.$logu);
        $name = $user->getField('name');
        $email = $user->getField('email');
        $userid = $user->getID();
        $permanent = $logr == 'Y' ? 'Y' : 'N';
        $q = "insert into sessions values('$idsu',$userid,'$name','$permanent',$now,$now)";

        if (!mysql_query($q)){
                $s=0;
                $m="Error initiating session";
        }
}

Code:

<?php
if ($ses_actual->user_id > 0) {
	echo <<<HTML
Welcome,<br/><b>{$ses_actual->name}</b>
HTML;
} //end if
?>
