Hello! I'm having a little problem, on a section of my site, users have to log into a .htaccess password protected area. Ideally, once they log on, in the top right hand corner (for example) it says " Welcome Joe Blogs". The name should be retrieved from the info they entered in the .htaccess login part. Anyone know how to do this? I don't mind storing the name in a cookie on their computer, so maybe that will work. But I have no idea how to retrieve the username. Thanks, Spinal

Hi. $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] will give you what you're looking for. However, remember that it will only display the username entered in the htaccess file, i.e. joeblogs or whatever the username might be. To get the user's full name, something like "Joe Blogs" from that, you'll have to match the username to the person's actual name, presumably from a mySQL database. That's also easy to do and I'd be happy to go into that if you need me to.
