Hello, I am making Log in for my site.. I want to make it so when you log in it displays your username by saying 'Welcome, Liam' but when I try this it just says 'Welcome, $user'.. Can anyone help?!

Here is the code for the page that says 'Welcome, $user':


<?php

session_start();

echo "Welcome, ".$_SESSION['user']."!"




?>

Here is the code for the Log In page:

<?php

if (isset($_REQUEST['attempt']))
{

$link = mysql_connect('NOT TELLING', 'NOT TELLING', 'NOT TELLING') or die('Cant connect to database');
mysql_select_db(NOT TELLINGt');

$user = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['user']);
$password = sha1(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']));

$query = mysql_query("
SELECT user
FROM users
WHERE user = '$user'
AND password = '$password'
") or die(mysql_error());

$total = mysql_num_rows($query);

if ($total > 0)
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['user'] = $user;
header('location: junk.php');
}

if ($user==$dbuser&&$password==$dbpassword)
{
echo "You're in!";
$_SESSION['user'] = $user;


}





else
{
die('Incorrect username or password!<br /> <span class="Cagain"><a href="http://www.youropenlife.com/index.php">Click here to try again</a></span>');
}

}

?>
