Recalling USERNAME from the database

How do I put: "Hello Dude" (Dude being in this case, the USER) in my page?

Thank you.

You would need to connect to the database and run a query to print the value of username. That depends heavily on your code.

Use something like this:

Code:

if ($loginname != "")
  echo "Hello ". $loginname;
else
  echo "Hello ". $loginuser;

Something else. Could you go to my site, the domain in the e-mail you have for me, and check this:

When you attempt to log in in the form, it accepts and will redirect correctly to the intended page.

BUT, when guest users click one of the psp pages that is linked to - which should redirect people to the "LOG IN," instead of processing the request, it gives this page:

Quote:

This site do not have a valid license key for Cookie Password Protection because of:

* [licence key removed] is not a valid licence key for this software

Please contact the site owner for more information.

Again, it works when you hit enter in the form, but when the page is linked to, my potential clients see a link to Xavier. And English that looks like it was written by cuzin Jethro.

Shit. Sorry. Help?

I'll have a look, I've not heard from bylla in a couple of days...

If you are linking to the page (the one that the user is taken to after logging in), make sure you have ?action=login in the URL.

Upload unlock.php to your server, visit it with your web browser and remove the file later. That should do the trick!

[license key removed]

Sorry.

So anyway, I don't think I have the unlock.php file. Is that new in 2.9? I should upgrade, then?

It did do a trick. It replaced my database entry for the Login page code. People should know to back that up!!

It changed one thing. Tell me how the difference was significant:

First, the Form Method line was tweaked:

Code:

became:

Code:

I'm confused. And not thrilled to have lost my code for the generic login.

Yup. That was exactly it. That simple. The unlock thing didn't mess up anything else, did it?

It shouldn't be any diffrence at all between "post" and just post.

I swear, I just switched that code out of the original login page after comparing everything to the letter (I had a backup). The post quotes were the only thing different and now it's not whining and spitting out my product key to everyone :-)
