Adding username to form html?

[Simon Lloyd]

How do i add a username in this line so it will show on a form? i tried using a few things but none worked, any ideas?

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value= [COLOR=Red]$username[/COLOR] " is helping us keep our forum running and increase our bandwidth."/>

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="$bbuserinfo[username] is helping us keep our forum running and increase our bandwidth." />

This will put the user viewing the form's user name into the input's value.

Fantastic! thats it, i've tried loads of things but i've never touched html or php before.

Once again thanks!
