Display text output from php script

BigMike

Hi,

I have a php script that is basically:

<?php echo "Bobby" ?>

(Actually the Bobby is obtained from a database, but the principle is the same.

I would like to display this text from within an html page.

A made up example if the text returned was a site visitors first name givin that an id was stored in a cookie and the above php file was called username.php, how can I write some HTML code such that Bobby would be displayed alongside "Welcome back, " with the same font and colour etc?

The closest I have come to so far is to use an object tag, but I have no control over the font that way.

I hope the question is clear.

Thanks,

Mike

<?

echo "<font color=\"red\" size=\"3\">Bobby</font>";

?>

Something like that??

Actually, more like this:

<html><head></head>
<body>
<font size=3, face= etc>
Welcome back, http://mydomain.com/boo.php?id=4321
</font>
</body>
</html>

but that doesn't work. And, the server that this html will be on cannot run php !

Thanks,

Mike

you might be able to do it with SSI...

Thanks Zack.

Have you got any pointers that would start me off in the right direction?
