I need to show logged user's name

Question

I am using this webpage password protector

It's working fine but i want to make the logged user's name appears in the protected page after logging in successfully. May you please help me ?

You'll need to post **your** code; this is guesswork. Echo the variable assigned to the username in a conditional statement if it meets the condition(s). — Funk Forty Niner, Mar 28 '15 at 14:18
I'm not going to download anything, sorry. The rules on Stack are: "Post your code". — Funk Forty Niner, Mar 28 '15 at 14:21
I'd say that code wasn't so large that it can't be placed here (and we do insist that code is supplied in the question, not in a link, which is what Fred was saying). Can you copy it in? If you can trim it down to a smaller case, so much the better. — halfer, Mar 28 '15 at 14:43
@halfer Yeah, it's a tad big lol just wondering if OP knows what to do with answers given. — Funk Forty Niner, Mar 28 '15 at 14:45

Modify this part of your code:

  else {
    // set cookie if password was validated
    setcookie("verify", md5($login.'%'.$pass), $timeout, '/');

    // Some programs (like Form1 Bilder) check $_POST array to see if parameters passed
    // So need to clear password protector variables
    unset($_POST['access_login']);
    unset($_POST['access_password']);
    unset($_POST['Submit']);
  }

to read as:

  else {
    // set cookie if password was validated
    setcookie("verify", md5($login.'%'.$pass), $timeout, '/');

    echo "Username: " . $login;

    // Some programs (like Form1 Bilder) check $_POST array to see if parameters passed
    // So need to clear password protector variables
    unset($_POST['access_login']);
    unset($_POST['access_password']);
    unset($_POST['Submit']);
  }

@DZSAT You'll need to apply the same logic for your other pages. However, you can use sessions for this and assign the username variable to a sessions array. – Funk Forty Niner Mar 28 '15 at 14:58
sorry dear Fred .. i'm not expert so i didn't understand what you mean – DZ SAT Mar 28 '15 at 15:00

@DZSAT Have a look at http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/ss/php_sessions.htm and http://stackoverflow.com/q/7763720/ and http://www.thesitewizard.com/php/sessions.shtml - `session_start();` will be required to be used inside all files using sessions. – Funk Forty Niner Mar 28 '15 at 15:03
