You will need to query your database after the user logs in. When users login a Session variable called KT_Username is generated. You can do you query against that session variable to get the logged in users profile.

whenever a user is logged into your website, his username is stored in the variable KT_Username by default.

You don't need to set it, you just need to make sure that you retrieve it accordingly.

<b>NB - IMOPRTANT</b>
if you are going to be working with session variables, make sure you add the following code to the very top of your PHP file!

&lt;?PHP
session_start();
?&gt;

otherwise it will screw up and turn you into a spiralling alcoholic in search of truth and logic in a world of incoherently placed question marks and underscored. Or was that just me. Hmm. Time for therapy.
