test for username?

How can I test for a certain username (or ID) and then print some HTML code?

I want to print a few special links if I'm logged on.

Psedo-code:
if $user_name = "Rushian" $html="You are the webmaster!"

Lol, yes, that fixed it. I've now added a few 'admin only' links to the main menu.. Thank you.

Maybe because the cookie is called esselbachst and not ESSELBACH_ST. Sorry Hushed Face

Err, wait. This isn't working for me.. Slightly Frowning Face

Nothing prints in the page where I inserted the $html var.. I tried both logged on and out.. I'm running 1.72c if it matters and running it from the site_header template..

Edit: As near as I can tell $cookiedata[0] is null... :x

Super!

Is there a list of global vars that I can insert into my templates? (Besides what's already in the template docs?) (Stuff like user data, page views, times, dates, number of items, etc..) I've tried snooping through some of the code, but when I try to output the vars (say, $mystats), nothing prints.
