once the user logs in, save his username in the session variable.
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. session_start();
  2. if(username/password check)
  3. {
  4. //some code
  5. $session['username'] = $_POST['txtfield_name_username'];
  6. }
and you can echo it like this -
PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if(isset($session['username']) && $session['username'] !='')
  2. {
  3.   echo "Welcome ".$session['username'];
  4. }else echo "Welcome guet";

form your code, it seems that you already have those files.

You need some sort of username and password verification

You could use some sort of MySQL query like this:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. SELECT user_id, username FROM login WHERE username = '$user_username' AND password = '$user_password
  2.  

And put that in a conditional to see if it checks, and then if it does, set the session cookies like network18 said.
