enter your name on a website - SIM-1179501 - May 12, 2012
On my site I wanted to make it so before a user entered the page it there would be a pop up asking for their name, after that somewhere in the page I could type something and it would say in the page what they typed in.
for example
Code
1) Enter your name here: <name>
2) welcome to my site <name>* - Webmasters - May 12, 2012
What are you wanting their name to do?
Just entering it is pointless..
What you want it to do once entered?

Might be for a username script.
Just use PHP sessions to store their name..
Pop up name > store name > stay in session > log out
Isn't hard for a script, good luck!

You could just use a session variable so e.g.
PHP Code
<?php
$_SESSION['name'] = your input...
Then whenever you want to refer to it you just go like so.
PHP Code
<?php
Welcome, <b><?php echo $_SESSION['name']; ?></b>

Don't forgot to type
PHP Code
<?php
session_start

Or you can do it like this:
PHP Code
<?php
$_POST['name'];
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$name=$_POST['name'];
echo($name);
}

If you want this on a single page use
JScript::
Head Area
Code
<script>
var name=prompt("What Is Your Name?","Your Name");
</script>Body Area
Code
<script>
document.writeln("Welcome " + name);
</script>else use PHP + Javascript
save the name in a session using post or get method and use on multiple page.
