I have a login system that loads a .php page and that displays that you are logged in at the top of the screen like this..

Hey, <?php echo $_SESSION['user_name']; ?>. You are logged in.

Then below that on the page will be the whole construct2 bit. (the canvas)

So construct2 has nothing to do with the login system I use and it will be on a .php page.

QUESTION:

How do I grab that $_SESSION variable and load it into a global variable in Construct2?

Thanks.

Set a javascript variable in the web page, and fetch it using the browser object's execute custom javascript.

All i have on the page now (besides the construct2 portion) is:

Hey, <?php echo $_SESSION['user_name']; ?>. You are logged in.

Not sure how to add javascript to the page but something like..

<script>

var currentuser = $_SESSION['user_name'];

</script>

Would that work? Or am i totally off?

Never done any javascripting..

Just as long as your index file has a .php extension (simply change .html to .php and make sure your links to it are updated too.)

Let me bother you some more maestro..

I get the concept of what you are saying but since i only just learned a bit of php and now i have to get into javascript i am finding it hard to do.

In Construct2 i should basicly do something like this?

System>Set variableX to "ExecJS('username')" ?

Is this correct? Or is it not ExecJS I should be using? Perhaps EvalJS?

Completely lost it now..

set var = Browser.ExecJS("window.MyUsername")

in the index file I have :

<script>

var MyUsername = "Lennaert";

</script>

Hold on.. I initially asked if <script> was the way to go but you corrected me it should be <javascript>..

Now you use <script>?

Confusing haha

Cheers though man. You rule
