format_username

Versions
mediamosa-21
format_username($account)

Format a username.

By default, the passed in object's 'name' property is used if it exists, or else, the site-defined value for the 'anonymous' variable. However, a module may override this by implementing hook_username_alter(&$name, $account).

See also

hook_username_alter()

Parameters

$account The account object for the user whose name is to be formatted.

Return value

An unsanitized string with the username to display. The code receiving this result must ensure that check_plain() is called on it before it is printed to the page.
