problem with user's login name

[Roby]

hi,

i've a trouble with a php script:

[..]

$uname[1] = "test";
$upass[1] = "test";
$known_as[1] = "test user";

[..]

// check through all the users to see if they exist
for ($i = 1; $i <= $user_count; $i++) {
if ($uname[$i] == $username && $upass[$i] == $password){
$user_id=$i;
$welcome = $known_as[$i];
$user_exists = true;
}

[..]

Now is the main problem: if i call the $welcome var in the logged
page, it won't print the user name... why?

I use:

print($welcome);

and doesn't work...
but if I use:

print($known_as[1]);
it work, but only print the 1 name...

can u help me? tnx in advance! bye!

Probably your variables are out of scope
http://www.php.net/manual/en/languag...bles.scope.php
<?php
function foo() {
// notice (undefined variable: a) on next line
echo $a; // local $a (to the foo() function)
}

function bar($a) {
echo $a; // local $a -- different than the global $a
}

function taz() {
global $a;
echo $a; // NOW the same $a as previously defined
}

$a = 'global';
$b = 'also global';

echo $a; // use the global and print "global"
foo(); // prints nothing (except perhaps the notice)
bar($a); // prints "global", but it's just a coincidence
bar($b); // prints "also global"
taz(); // prints "global"
?>
