Placing "Welcome Back" message on Home Page

I started placing the "Welcome Back, ***" Message on the home page, and i got that working, but now, the damn thing won't put up a default Unregistered message.

Im using SSI to call up the file since the home page is not in the forum folder. This is the coding i've got in my ssi-welcome.php3 file.

<?php
error_reporting(7);

$templatesused='forumhome_birthdaybit,error_noperm ission,forumhome_pmloggedin,forumhome_welcometext, forumhome_logoutcode,forumhome_newposts,forumhome_ todayposts,forumhome_logincode,forumhome_loggedinu ser,forumhome_loggedinusers,forumhome_lastpostby,f orumhome_moderator,forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopos t,forumhome_forumbit_level1_post,forumhome_forumbi t_level2_nopost,forumhome_forumbit_level2_post,for umhome,forumhome_unregmessage';
$loadbirthdays=1;
$loadmaxusers=1;

require('./global.php3');
$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['canview']) {
show_nopermission();
}

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {
$username=$bbuserinfo['username'];
eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";") ;
eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_logoutcode')."\";");
eval("\$newposts = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_newposts')."\";");
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcomet ext')."\");");

} else {
$welcometext = "";
eval("\$unregwelcomemessage = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_unregmessage')."\";" );
eval("\$newposts = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_todayposts')."\";");
eval("\$logincode = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_logincode')."\";");
}

?>

Can someone please help me figure out how I can both get this to work, and also edit the rest of the text that is displayed? Eventually I would like to display some profile information along with the welcome message. Thanks guys!

I presume that when you say "home page" you mean a non-vB webpage? If you're still looking for some help on this, have a look at my hack (see my sig).
