    I have a conditional link to show login/out and profile depending on if the user is logged in or not. What I would like is to show the user’s nickname or id next to the logout link, ive tried several bits code to no avail.
    The current code I use is

    <?php
    global $user_login, ;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    if ($user_login){
    echo ‘Logout<br/>
    Profile<br/>’

    ;
    }
    else {
    echo ‘Not Registered? Click here!‘;
    }

    Ive tried a lot of different code variations to display the user nickname in the logout link but none work. Heres an example of one them that does not work

    <?php
    global $user_login, $user_nickname ;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    if ($user_login){
    echo ‘Logout <?php echo $user_nickname ?><br/>
    Profile<br/>’

    ;
    }
    else {
    echo ‘Not Registered? Click here!‘;
    }

    any ideas out there

    echo 'Logout ' . $user_nickname . '<br />';

    thanks thats what i was looking for. Now there’s a formating problem though , whenever I try to add an <li> tag to code it breaks, currently is squished up compared to the other menu links.

    <div id="page">

    <div id="superheader">
    <ul id="topnav">
    <li><a href="http://www.dotnature.com&quot; id="navHome" title="Home" accesskey="h"><u>H</u>ome</a></li>
    <li><a href="/#" id="navAbout" title="About" accesskey="a"><u>A</u>bout</a></li>
    <li><a href="/#" id="navLinks" title="Links" accesskey="g"><u>L</u>inks</a></li>
    <li><a href="/#" id="navContact" title="Contact Me" accesskey="c"><u>C</u>ontact</a></li>

    <?php
    global $user_login, $user_nickname ;
    get_currentuserinfo();
    if ($user_login){
    echo '<a href="wp-login.php?action=logout">logout ' . $user_nickname . '</a>,

    <a href="wp-admin/profile.php">Profile</a>'

    ;
    }
    else {
    echo '<a href="wp-register.php">login/register</a>';
    }
    ?>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>
    <div id="header">
    <h1><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo(''); ?></a></h1>

    </div>
    <div id="subheader"></div>

    The top part is just plain html that referances my style sheet for my menu (home, about, links, contact, login, etc). The middle part starting with <?php is the call to display the conditional link depending on if the user is logged in, displays register/login for new users, displays logout(username) and profile for users.
    It works fine , there just a cosmetic problem that I will try and tackle tomorrow when is shows the logout(username) and profile link, it basically messes everything up, maybe a css guru could help out.
