Question

I have some php code $_SESSION['username'] and I need to display it using html with something like <p>the username here</p>. I heard you might be able to do this using echo in PHP but Im not sure how. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

echo '<p>' . $_SESSION['username'] . '</p>';

or

<p><?php echo $_SESSION['username'] ?></p>

You should really run it through htmlspecialchars to avoid breaking your HTML syntax (for example if the user’s name contains </p> or something, or if they attempt an XSS attack):

echo '<p>' . htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['username']) . '</p>';
