I want to stop "Anonymous" posters from using my shoutbox. Can someone look at this code and figure out how to make people login to the site to post shouts?

include("mainfile.php");
cookiedecode($user);
$username = $cookie[1];
if ($username == "") {
$username = "Anonymous";
}
// Define database connection details
include("config.php");
mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass);
@mysql_select_db($dbname);
$table = "".$prefix."_flashshout";
// Attempt to connect to MySQL server
$link = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass);

// If the connection was unsuccessful...
if (!$link)
{
// Report error to Flash and exit
    print "&result=Fail";
    print "&errorMsg=" . urlencode("Could not connect to server");
    exit;
}

// Attempt to connect to MySQL server
$link = @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass);

// If the connection was unsuccessful...
if (!$link)
{
// Report error to Flash and exit
    print "&result=Fail";
    print "&errorMsg=" . urlencode("Could not connect to database");
    exit;
}

// Attempt to select database. If unsuccessfull...
if (!@mysql_select_db($dbname))
{
// Report error to Flash and exit
    print "&result=Fail";
    print "&errorMsg=" . urlencode("Could not select $dbname database");
    exit;
}

// Fetch the current time
$posted = time();
$flashshoutTitle = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9 ]", "", $flashshoutTitle);
//$flashshoutBody = ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9 \@\.\-\/\']", "", $flashshoutBody);
$flashshoutTitle = stripslashes($flashshoutTitle);
//$flashshoutBody = stripslashes($flashshoutBody);
// Build Query
if ($Submit == "Yes") {
$query = "INSERT INTO ".$prefix."_flashshout (ip, title, body, posted)
          VALUES('$REMOTE_ADDR', '$username', '$flashshoutBody', $posted)";
}
// Execute Query
$result = @mysql_query($query);

// If query was successful
if ($result) {

// Report success back to Flash movie
    print "&result=Okay";
}
else
{
// Otherwise, tell Flash we have an error
    print "&result=Fail";
    print "&errorMsg=" . urlencode("Couldn't add posts");
}

// Close the connection
mysql_close($link);

?>

Is this an Mtechnik shout box? If so do this-
Courtesy of Beanbag Wrestling:

Open addshout.php

find:
$username = "Anonymous"; 
}


Add After:
else {


So it looks like:

$username = "Anonymous"; 
} else {


Find:
?>


Add above:
}


Close addshout.php

This next step is optional... its if you want the username to say
"Registered Users Only" instead of "Anonymous"

Open blocks/block-FSB-center.php

Find:
$username = "Anonymous";


Change To:
$username = "Registered Users Only";


Close blocks/block-FSB-center.php
