Greetings

First off, $_SESSION[$username] should be $_SESSION['username'] (on your home page).
Also, on your login.php page, you need to have it start with session_start(); aswell, as you do with ANY page that reads/writes sessions.

Yours,
Shane~

This:
<?php echo "Welcome $_SESSION[$username]"; ?>
Should be:
<?php echo "Welcome $_SESSION['username']"; ?>

Yes, what Shanek, said. I took too long reading through the rest of your code!! I strongly suggest that you learn OOP. You don't have much there, but it's already getting cumbersome because you're not using it.

The problem you're facing is that you're jumping out of your echo code, because if you're using ' for the key of the "Session array" then you're using ' in the echo. Basically, you're saying:

<?php  echo 'Welcome  $_SESSION['username']'; ?>

which will not work. Try this:

echo "Welcome ".$_SESSION['username'];

Yours,
Shane~

Any errors output?

From everything we've told you, this should have worked with at least one of the solutions we've offered.
