Variables in Html

I am not a PHP programer. Perhaps this is related to PHP programming, but I am trying to resolve it in html if I can.

The objective here is to add a user name variable in a Custom block.

In a theme.html, I saw $xoops_url and $xoops_uname being used, and when the html is executed in a Custom Block, the URL variable is resolved but the Uname is not resolved.

Please advise. Thanks.

Make the block's Content Type "PHP Script".

Example:

global $xoopsUser;
$uname = is_object($xoopsUser) ? $xoopsUser->getVar('uname') : '(guest)';
echo $uname;

Thanks David_L

But I wrote the whole block in html and when I change to PHP script every thing is gone. I saw in zaja-x theme there is a $xoops_uname variable in the html and thought I can use it, but no go. I also load the entire theme.html to a custom block and found out that some of the variables are resolved(example is $xoops_url) most are not. Just wonder why?

I'm not familiar with that theme.

theme.html is processed in a different "environment" than a custom block, so the variables available may be different. Also, theme.html is processed as a Smarty template and may use Smarty tags, while a custom block may not.

You can combine PHP and HTML in a "PHP Script" custom block, for example:

... PHP code ...
?>
... HTML code ...
... more PHP code ...
?>
... more HTML code


The contents of a custom block are blindly jammed into the middle of other code, without any checking for conflicts, so you have to be careful what you put in the block.

Thank you very much.

I have decided to change my theme and the new theme has the User Name as a part, so I do not have to mess around the Custom Block.
