Hope that clarified things.
$myusername ) must be set in the same script for it to have a value, and thus be echo'd to the page. This means the value will be lost if the user refreshes the or follows a link. The

hi this is nathen,
i think this is usefull to you some how,
you first start the session on top first page and the page which you want to show your username.In first page its self you should use $_Post['myusername']=$_SESSION['myusername'];
and you use $_SESSION['myusername'] in your second page where you want to show that value..

$_SESSION['myusername'] = $_POST['myusername'] . you switched them around. there also would need to be some sanitation to prevent xss attacks. |
