[FIXED] CakePHP3 get user in default.ctp

Issue

I work on CakePHP 3 project. I want to display username of the logged user from default.ctp so I tried this:

//in default.ctp   
 $user = $this->Session->read('Auth.User');
    if(!empty($user)) {
        echo 'Hi ', $user['user_name'];
    }

It doesn't work and I found other solution which tells me to put the current user in session from AppController it doesn't work either.

// in AppController      
function beforeFilter(){
  $user = $this->Session->read('Auth.User');
  $this->set('username', $user['username']);
}

and in default.ctp:

<?=$username?>

How can I make this work?

Solution

<?php   $session = $this->request->session(); // less than 3.5
        // $session = $this->request->getSession(); // 3.5 or more
        $user_data = $session->read('Auth.User');
        if(!empty($user_data)){
            print_r($user_data);
  }?>

try this hope it help's..
