如何将用户名显示为链接

Question

I am a little new to PHP. What I am trying to do is to display the username that is logged in with a link to their home page. This is what I have.

if (loggedin()) {
    echo '<a href="HomePage.php"> $user->get_fullname($uid) </a>' ;
    echo '<a href="logout.php"> Log Out </a>';
}

But as you can see it will not display the username, it will display what I have in between the link. I do not know where to go from here.

Answer 1

you want:

if(loggedin()){
         echo  '<a href ="HomePage.php">'. $user->get_fullname($uid) .'</a>' ;

        echo  '<a href="logout.php"> Log Out </a>';
        }
    else {

?>

in php single quotes will not parse a variable. An alternative syntax is:

echo  "<a href ='HomePage.php'> $user->get_fullname($uid) </a>" ;
