Getting data from MySQL

[treeleaf20]

I have text entered into MySQL, the text is something like: The user's name is $_SESSION[user]

I would like to select this data from the database and actually have the value in $_SESSION[user] populate the variable when it gets output to the screen.

So instead of outputing This user's name is $_SESSION[user], I would like it to output The user's name is treeleaf20

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks.

I don't understand. Why are you using $_SESSION for a var from your table?

But, why can't you simply echo or print your var to the screen?

Am I missing something here? Have I asked too many questions in the guise of a answer?

It's a long story and I can't really explain why I'm doing it that would make any sense. I'm just curious if it would even be possible. The short response to your questions is that the variable needs to be pulled from the database so is there a way to do this. I wish I could give you a better explaination why it needs to happen this way but I can't.

Thanks for the continued help.
