Displaying username/login fields on non-vB page?

[MarkB]

Hiyis

I want to be able to have a message such as 'Welcome, username on a non-vB page (ie, the rest of my site!), if the user is registered and has the cookie present (obviously), or if the user isn't logged in or registered, show the login boxes/registration link...

Is this possible? My main site uses PHPNuke, but I'm guessing if I coded in a require for whatever vB files I needed, it'd ref the vB database for the username etc......?

I'm not a PHP/SQL guru, so please excuse my ignorance if this is a simple thing to do

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark .... well I wait with you for a response if there is one

PHP Code:

<?

require("./global.php");

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
  
echo"Welcome back, <b>$username</b>";

}

?>

That's it?

If you want to geht the loginform, you have to change the code a bit:

PHP Code:

<?

require("./global.php");

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
  
echo"Welcome back, <b>$username</b>";

} else {

?>

[Loginform here]

<?

}

?>

You can simply insert the loginform from the index.php I think...

Gives error on the global.php

You have to create a new file e.g. test.php and put the code in there.

Yes I ' v created a new file and then copied your code.

Then i modified this:

require("forum/global.php");

and test it.

This is the result:
Warning: Undefined variable: REQUEST_URI in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\swzone.it\forum\global.php on line 33

Warning: Undefined variable: QUERY_STRING in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\swzone.it\forum\global.php on line 41

My server (I host directly) is an IIS5 with Php 4.0.6
Thx for your interest
