I have been reading the old threads [webmasterworld.com...] , although these are helpful if you are hand scripting; using dreamweaver is slightly different.
I have managed to create an answer.
When you use the Log in user wizard in Dreamweaver, it sets up a session variable equal to the username. it usually looks like MM_Username
From this you are able to put a small piece of code any where you would like the username to display on the page
<?php echo $_SESSION['MM_Username']; ?>
It works for me, but can not promise it would for anyone else; I just hope it saves someone some time.
If you call session_start() before you read or write $_SESSION values then it should pretty much work mostly everywhere
IMHO If You are new to PHP, as You mentioned, i would suggest You to stay away from dreamweaver. A plain text editor will help in your "learning" much more.
