Since everyone here are geniuses and I'm a bit of a n00b, this should be easy...

All i need is some PHP that will find the current logged in user's username and put it in a textbox. I need to be able to apply formatting, etc to the textbox, and the textbox will be used as part of a form.

Could you help me? Please?

Try searching for PHP-Nuke mods - there surely are plenty of them which does this job.. Other than than most details about users are available in the form of variables like {username}, {gender} etc - that's how it works out in Mambo CMS too.. you can insert these directly into text and the values will dynamically change depending upon the current user...

All you have to do is is use the following code to get the textbox:



That is all you have to do for PHP-Nuke to display the currently logged in user name!!!
