Remember Username & Password

At present I'm using $_SESSION['UserName'] to create and store the login details. But I'm not able to access this session variable. Is there any way for the website to remember these details?

[PHP]$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row

if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "LoginOK.php"
session_start();
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
$_SESSION['loginname'] = $myusername;
//echo $_session['loginname'];
header("location:index.php");
}[/PHP]

I'm using <?php echo $_session['loginname']; in index.php. Is there anything wrong with the code?

Like was said in your last post: if you dont start the session on index.php you weill not be able to retrieve the session variables.

I've started the session in all the pages now. Still it doesn't work.

What makes you so sure that [php]if($count==1){[/code] return true?

problem solved. Had used $_session instead of $_SESSION. Didn't know it was case-sensitive.
