How Do I Include logged in user's name on webpage

[jjrose]

Hello.

Can you tell me what piece of code to add to the protected webpage that displays the logged-in user's name.  I would say something like these... "Welcome [username]", or "Logged In As [username]". 

I found a piece of code that I think is correct, but I don't know what the exact field name is for the user.  The code I tried was
<?php echo $username; ?>
but it doesn't work.

Thanks

Hi.

display user name

Replace as mentioned in that thread. After that you should be able to print user name by including following on your page

<?php echo $login; ?>

[farish.kty]

Great code. I connected username and password using mysql database and my user details on mysql database are;
Name: FARISH C.V
username: farish.kty
password: adminpass

Is it possible to print the "Name (FARISH C.V)" on my page from mysql database ? Can you please help me.
