This question already has an answer here:
I have a Login Page with the following Code;
<p> Login Name</p>
<p>
<input type="text"
name="username" id="username">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</p>
<p>
<label for="password">Password<br />
<br />
</label>
<input name="password"
type="password" id="password"></input>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Login"/>
<input type="reset" value="Reset"/>
</p>
<p><br />
and after capturing
i have also this code using the inputs
require('config\db.php');
session_start();
// If form submitted, insert values into the database.
if (isset($_POST['username'])){
//$username1 = $_POST['username1'];;
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$username = stripslashes($username);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
$password = stripslashes($password);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($password);
I open a Page which has some options on logging in . I select one option on that page using radio buttons. It opens a third page.
I want to display the User Name captured on the first page.
How can i do this? Any help will be highly appreciated.

You have to store it somewhere.
A hidden input in the form in the second page is pretty reliable.
A session is a common choice, although subject to race conditions.
Store that user name in session
Then you can use it anywhere
To use session to should write session_start(); which you have done.
Now just store your username in session.
$_SESSION['username']=$username;
echo you can print it by just
echo $_SESSION['username'];
