I am trying to show a greeting for the user on a page. e.g. 'Hello Trevor'.
I have put a label on the page and in the Before Show event of the label I have the following code:
$db = new clsDBhockey_stats();
global $f_name;
$sql= "select * from users WHERE ID = ".CCGetUserID();
$db->query($sql);
$db->next_record();
$f_name = $db->f("first_name");
$Container->$greeting->SetValue($f_name);
$db->close();
I get this error:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class clsControl could not be converted to string in
Any ideas?
Thanks.

No worries, I got it:
$greeting->SetValue($f_name);

Hi,
I placed a label on the page and in the Before Show event added the following custom code:
$db = new clsDByour_database();
global $f_name;
$sql= "select * from users_table WHERE ID = ".CCGetUserID();
$db->query($sql);
$db->next_record();
$f_name = $db->f("first_name");
$greeting->SetValue("Hello ".$f_name. ", nice of you to join us!");
$db->close();
And thats it.

Make sure that the label that you put on the page has the name 'greeting' or change the code to the name that you have given the label.
If the label is not in a form then this should work perfectly. If it is in a form. then use the syntax $Container->etc.etc.
