Not echoing the string?

[pinehead18]

$name = "yoda";
function logged_in_bar() {
        echo "
<tr>
<td align=left bgcolor=#000000>
<font color=white face=arial><b><a href=support.php>Support | About|<a href=indexx.php>Main Page
$name</a></font></b>
</td>
<td bgcolor=black><font face=arial size=-1 color=white> <font size=-1><a
href=http://www.b.com/bl.php?name=$name?name=></td>";
}

It isn't echoing $name.. Any ideas?

You need to declare $name as a global in 'logged_in_bar' function.

as in:

global $name
