Change:

PHP Code:


			
<title> ". $_SESSION["name"] . "</title>

to

PHP Code:


			
<title> '. $_SESSION["name"] .'</title>

Note i changed:
<title> ". $_SESSION["name"] . "</title>
to
<title> '. $_SESSION["name"] . '</title>

Ill explain...

You started the echo with ' rather than "

So when you used ". $var ." it was ignored as you used ' to start and "end" your echo..

Ie:
Because you started it with ' you need to use '. to append to it.. This closing and .' opening the echo again..

Thanks

OH and instead of echoing the whole HTML doc... you could do this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php session_start(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title> <?php echo $_SESSION["name"]; ?> </title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
    background-image: url(http://www.onlinetemplatemaker.com/templates/images/template1.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position:top center;
    font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: left;
    color: #000;
    background-color: #000;
}
#Font {
    font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
    text-align: center;
    color: #FFF;
}
#Mainmenu {
    color: #FFF;
}
</style>
</head>
 
<body>
<center> 
<table width="900" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><b id="Font"><b>". $_SESSION["name"] . "</b></b></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table width="900" border="0">
<p>
blahblahblah
