If the user is found in the database, the function returns the username associated with the $id parameter, with the first letter capitalized (using the ucfirst function).
If the user is not found in the database, the function returns a dash (-).

$user_id = 42; $user_name = name_from_id($user_id);
echo "The username associated with ID $user_id is $user_name.";
