Tech Session Name in SQL query?

[Publisher Bucks]

What is the best way to include

<?=$_SESSION['name']?>

into an SQL query please?

I want to do something along these lines (which isnt the correct way apparently lol):

$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","USER","PASS","DB" );

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM Documents WHERE Writer REGEXP '<?=$_SESSION['name']?>' ORDER BY ID DESC;");

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))

Basically, any time one of my writers logs into the admin system, I want it to display the documents they've completed based on their login name to them and I figured using the session name would be the easiest way, as it gets attached on submission and stored in the DB in the 'Writer' column, I just can't figure out how to get that info to display on a page through an SQL query

Exactly the same way as any other variable

$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM Documents WHERE Writer REGEXP '".mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_SESSION['name'])."' ORDER BY ID DESC;");

Ah okay, I was using the same as in my HTML code, thanks for clearing that up for me man
