I have been playing around the last couple of days and cant seem to figure this one out.

What I want to do is put a message on the hundred or so pages of the actual web site that says "Welcome $username" and maybe some other info.

Also working on showing the last three or four active threads, have a login in for those not registered with the vbulletin, and a couple of other things.

I can figure out how to do most of it, but cant figure out how to integrate the php into the html to show the username on the website.

Any help with the first prob would give the knowledge to figure out the rest.

Thanks

This has been asked about 1,554,354,324,128.568 times on these forums. I suggest doing a search for "including vb info on a non vb page" or words to that effect, and you will come up with about 1,554,354,324,128.568 answers.

Hope this helps :)

thanks I will try a search on that, I did some searches just didnt understand what I was looking at

I am new to this, I havnt written code since the 80's so I am kinda behind the times and assumed knowledge I do not have (yet)

OK it all makes sense now

I was missing the first piece of the puzzle - didnt realize that I could just change my web pages from html to php3 and everything would work fine, and I could add php commands.

Over the next few weeks I am going to change the extensions on all my files and totally incorporate the the info from vbulletin to make the site a bit better than before.

Thanks for all the help - sometimes the best help is the wake up and get a clue help that JimF threw me.
