once the user logs in, save his username in the session variable.

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
session_start();
if(username/password check)
{
//some code
$session['username'] = $_POST['txtfield_name_username'];
}
session_start();
if(username/password check)
{
//some code
$session['username'] = $_POST['txtfield_name_username'];
}

and you can echo it like this -

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if(isset($session['username']) && $session['username'] !='')
{
  echo "Welcome ".$session['username'];
}else echo "Welcome guet";
if(isset($session['username']) && $session['username'] !='')
{
  echo "Welcome ".$session['username'];
}else echo "Welcome guet";

Re: Customized user login

put this -

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
session_start();
if(username/password check)
{
//some code
$session['username'] = $_POST['txtfield_name_username'];
}
session_start();
if(username/password check)
{
//some code
$session['username'] = $_POST['txtfield_name_username'];
}

inside login.html
and this -

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if(isset($session['username']) && $session['username'] !='')
{
  echo "Welcome ".$session['username'];
}else echo "Welcome guet";
if(isset($session['username']) && $session['username'] !='')
{
  echo "Welcome ".$session['username'];
}else echo "Welcome guet";

inside welcome.html

Re: Customized user login

You need some sort of username and password verification

You could use some sort of MySQL query like this:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

SELECT user_id, username FROM login WHERE username = '$user_username' AND password = '$user_password

And put that in a conditional to see if it checks, and then if it does, set the session cookies like network18 said.
