I want to have a diferent welcome message for users not logged and users who are, but I dont know all the information needed. Just needing to know the username variable. So it will say "welcome postnuke2004" etc.

Code
<?php if (pnUserLoggedIn()) {
echo "Welcome <username>";
} else {
echo "Welcome Guest. Become a user <a href="user.php?op=register&module=NS-NewUser">today</a>";
} ?>

To get the username use the pnUserGetVar API. Speicifically pnUserGetVar('uname') will get the username of the currently logged in user.

Mate I don't know my PHP, been trying to work out how to implement. Shoot me but well my PHP learning has not even really begun. Can you show an example of how this code is implemented?

There is an error when using a hyperlink in the fourth line. Also when the link is removed the code works but when loggied in it does not display the welcome message and the corresponding username, it just displays '0'. Any more ideas?

Well... The link is what you had originally posted, so I can't speak to that... ON the second issue... My guess is that I screwed up the PHP concatenation operator...
