login session not behaving

[macdalor]

HI,

I hope someone can help. I'm trying to show the username of the logged in user on this menu.inc page and certain pages only when logged in.

The result I have with the code below is no username showing, just "Hi !" (the "login" link disappear as planned) and all pages showing (logged and un-logged)

thank you for your help

           <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; overflow: visible;">
 
 
            <div align="center">
            <table border="0">
              <tr>
                <th>
                <span class="small">
                <?php if ($_SESSION["loggedInUser"] == $_SESSION["userCakeUser"]) { ?>Hi <strong><?php echo $_SESSION[$userdetails["Username"]]; ?>
 
            !
 
                <?php } else { ?><a href="login.php">Login</a>
                <?php } ?>
                </span>  </th>
 
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td>

ok, is there anything you can suggest for me to get this sorted at all? apologies for my ignorance on the subject...

not very much, I fear. I’d look, where and why the assignment didn’t work.

for everyone's info, this was sorted by replacing $_SESSION["userCakeUs er"] by "1"
