variable issue

[NZ_Kiwis]

I want the variable or $name to be printed in this line... it might be john, mark whatever... can someone please help

$name = $row[username];
$xml = "<query> <title> $name </title> </query>"; 

[Matt_Kindig]

Put username in single-quotes, like this:

$name=$row['username'];
$xml = "<query> <title> $name </title> </query>"; 

I suspect that PHP wasn't properly recognizing username as an array key in $row.

nope that does nothing

What is the output when you

echo $name;

[NZ_Kiwis]

it is bikerrider which is the username

So I'm assuming that you're not getting what you want. What are you getting? It's a bit hard to give a diagnosis without any description of symptoms.

i would assume that this...

 
 $name = $row[username];
$xml = "<query> <title> $name </title> </query>";

would output this

<query> <title> $name </title> </query>

so why not try this...

$xml = "<query><title> ".$row[username]."</title></query>";
