For starters your code is a mess and you are seriously overusing the usage of PHP, ok i agree PHP is great and on this small a scale it wouldn't do much, but if your going to go into bigger scale projects and you overuse PHP like this you could crash your server, here is your code a little more user and server friendly... :cheesy:

 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<html dir="ltr">

echo '<b>Hi '.$T1.'</b>';

<tr><td><form method=POST" action="<?php echo($PHP_SELF); ?>">
<br />
<p align="left">User name : <input type="text" name="T1" size="20" /></p>

</body>
</html>

Now you say you want to remember the user when they login, well you would need to use eitheer sessions or cookies for this...or a combination of the both, look into:

Sessions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/functio...on-destroy.php (to logout)

Cookies:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

I hope this has helped you....
