Show username of logged in user in zf2 - zend-framework2

Question

I have login and logout system in ZF2. I want to show username of logged in user when he/she is logged in. Screen shot is given below:
I have different views like view/provinces/index.phtml, view/districts/index.phtml, etc.
I have layout.phtml in view/layout/layout.phtml, in which I described layout for admin which is for every view. So It is necessary to access username of logged in user in layout.phtml.
I have also corresponding controllers like Controller/ProvincesController.php, Controller/DistrictsController.php etc. I can access username of logged in user in Controller/ProvincesController.php etc by the code:
public function getAuthService()
{
$this->authservice = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('AuthService');
return $this->authservice;
}
$username = $this->getAuthService()->getStorage()->read();
But I am unable to access value of username of logged in user in layout.phtml.
So if anyone know about it or have simple idea or practice about it, then let me know please.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The recommend way would be to use identity (https://framework.zend.com/manual/2.4/en/modules/zend.view.helpers.identity.html) view helper. Then in any view model you could use it as follow:
if ($user = $this->identity()) {
echo 'Logged in as ' . $this->escapeHtml($user->getUsername());
} else {
echo 'Not logged in';
}
In order to make it work you have to register your authentication service under specific name- Zend\Authentication\AuthenticationService.
So in your module.config.php file, add to service_manager:
'service_manager' => array(
'aliases' => array(
'Zend\Authentication\AuthenticationService' => 'AuthService', // <--- this line
),
'invokables' => array(
'AuthService' => 'Your\Authentication\Class',
),
),
Then you should be able to use identity controller plugin and view helper.
In your case, Module.php should look like this:
...
public function getServiceConfig()
{
return array(
'abstract_factories' => array(),
'aliases' => array(
'Zend\Authentication\AuthenticationService' => 'AuthService', // <--- this line
),
'factories' => array(
// SERVICES
'AuthService' => function($sm) {
$dbAdapter = $sm->get('Zend\Db\Adapter\Adapter');
$dbTableAuthAdapter = new DbTableAuthAdapter($dbAdapter, 'user','username','password', 'MD5(?)');
$authService = new AuthenticationService();
$authService->setAdapter($dbTableAuthAdapter);
return $authService;
},
// DB
'UserTable' => function($sm) {
$tableGateway = $sm->get('UserTableGateway');
$table = new UserTable($tableGateway);
return $table;
},
'UserTableGateway' => function ($sm) {
$dbAdapter = $sm->get('Zend\Db\Adapter\Adapter');
$resultSetPrototype = new ResultSet();
$resultSetPrototype->setArrayObjectPrototype(new User());
return new TableGateway('user', $dbAdapter, null,
$resultSetPrototype);
},
// FORMS
'LoginForm' => function ($sm) {
$form = new \Admin\Form\LoginForm();
$form->setInputFilter($sm->get('LoginFilter'));
return $form;
},
// FILTERS
'LoginFilter' => function ($sm) {
return new \Admin\Form\LoginFilter();
},
'Admin\Model\ProvincesTable' => function($sm) {
$tableGateway = $sm->get('ProvincesTableGateway');
$table = new ProvincesTable($tableGateway);
return $table;
},
'ProvincesTableGateway' => function ($sm) {
$dbAdapter = $sm->get('Zend\Db\Adapter\Adapter');
$resultSetPrototype = new ResultSet();
$resultSetPrototype->setArrayObjectPrototype(new Provinces());
return new TableGateway('provinces', $dbAdapter, null, $resultSetPrototype);
},
'Admin\Model\DistrictsTable' => function($sm) {
$tableGateway = $sm->get('DistrictsTableGateway');
$table = new DistrictsTable($tableGateway);
return $table;
},
'DistrictsTableGateway' => function ($sm) {
$dbAdapter = $sm->get('Zend\Db\Adapter\Adapter');
$resultSetPrototype = new ResultSet();
$resultSetPrototype->setArrayObjectPrototype(new Districts());
return new TableGateway('districts', $dbAdapter, null, $resultSetPrototype);
},
),
'invokables' => array(),
'services' => array(),
'shared' => array(),
);
}
...
Then in your layout or any other .phtml file:
layout.phtml
...
<?php if ($this->identity()): ?>
<p>Welcome, <?php echo $this->identity()->getUsername(); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

Answer 2

Taking help of Mr. SzymonM's answer, I changed my Module.php as suggested by him, and write the following simple code in layout.phtml
This solve my issue and username is shown with first letter in Upper case.
<?php
if ($this->identity())
{
echo ucfirst($this->identity());
}
?>
//ucfirst is php function which make first letter Uppercase.
