Dreamweaver CS3 Login user issue

Report · May 29, 2008

Hey , i am pretty new to PHP and MYSQL. I have a login page that uses Dreamweaver CS3's Log In User built in function. However, when succesfully logged in, I want to create a page that says Hello John, or Welcome Bob according to the user that logs in and have been unsuccessful so far. I go to the correct page but it says Welcome ( Blank Space)

any thoughts? i tried this
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15398&sliceId=2

and that doesnt work for me either.....

what am i missing here? any help is greatly appreciated

What does doesn't work mean?

Once the user has logged in, can you output the MM_Username session variable to the page (in particular the page that the log in user behavior has set for a successful log in)? You can do that by simply selecting it in the Bindings panel and dragging into the design view then previewing the page (after you've logged in of course).

Also to get better responses (and more folks looking at it), you should probably post this in the Dreamweaver Application dev group:

Yes if you are getting a blank space where the username should be, you are nearly there but it seems you are not using the session variable for usernames.

You are logging in, but it's not associating the login with a user. So setup the MM_Username or if you have done that, check it over for errors.
