i wanted to display the user name after they logged in, i have the code below,
this is my login.php
<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <td width="71">Username</td> <td width="181"><input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername" /></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <td>Password</td> <td><input name="mypassword" type="password" id="mypassword" /></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login" /></td> </tr>
here is my checklogin.php
<?php
$host="*****"; // Host name
$username="*****"; // Mysql username
$password="*****"; // Mysql password
$db_name="*****"; // Database name
$tbl_name="*****"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// username and password sent from form
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST['myusername']);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST['mypassword']);
$myusername = htmlspecialchars ($_POST['myusername']);
$mypassword = htmlspecialchars ($_POST['mypassword']);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1){
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
session_start();
$_SESSION['login'] = "1";
$_SESSION['myusername'] = $row['username'];
header("location: infratools.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
session_start();
$_SESSION['login'] = '';
}
?>
and here is one of the page where i want to display the user name, infratools.php
<?PHP
session_start();
if (!(isset($_SESSION['login']) && $_SESSION['login'] != '')) {
header ("Location: infralogin.php");
}
?>
<p>Logged in as: <?php echo $_SESSION['myusername']; ?></p>
