I need help showing a users e-mail when they log in. Any help would be much appreciated!

Question

Hi,
Now that I am able to show someones username after they login using the code below, how in the world do I get a page to show their e-mail. For example when they go to change their e-mail address in the settings in says next to the form "Your current e-mail is set as ..." how do I get it to show?
Username code:
<?php echo $_SESSION['MM_Username']; ?>
Is it at all similar to this?
Thank you for any help.

You are talking about setting the binding for the session variable. That does not create the session variable, just the binding for it. Take a look here to see how to create a session variable. Once the session variable is set you can set the binding for it by the session variable name and then place binding onto page to show dynamic info for logged in user.  For php to add a session from linked tutorial add code similar to this adding info = to $sessFirstName where appropriate. You can add the session variable onto the page that your users login form is located on. Just add a registered session line and another line to define the newly-registered session variable.
<?php
session_start();
session_register("sessFirstName");
$sessFirstName = $XXXXXXXXXXXX;
?>
