从HTML登录表单启动PHP会话[关闭]

Question

what I want to do is start a php session for the username, right after the form so it brings up the username once the user has pressed submit. Here's the code for the form I have:

<form name="login" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username"/>
<input type="submit" name="login"  value="Login" />
</form>

What do I do after that? Thanks.

Here is a simplified way; put this on top of the page (above) the html code:

if (isset($_POST['login']) {

    session_start(); 
    $_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];

}

Now use that new Session variable where you need as the username. If you close your browser. It's no longer stored. (Unless you set a cookie.)
