when I attempt to echo these names, nothing comes up...
//
$getuser = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE account_id = $id";
$showuser = @mysqli_query ($dbc, $getuser); // Run the query.
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($showuser, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {
$names[]=$row['user_username'];
}
echo $names;
To Echo an Array use
print_r($names)
Echo will only print out a simple variable (Text, Number). print_r is used to format and print out complex types such as arrays and objects.
Further information can be found on the php.net website.
You can use print_r() or var_dump()
Instead of echo use print_r.
print_r($names);
Like that.
you should initialize $names as array before the while loop $names = array();
