[[SOLVED] trying to greet the user]

I have three pages a user_logon.html, userlogin.php, and a logon(if successful). I am trying to greet the user but my php is not on the same page as logon.php.  Is their any way I can greet the user this way?? If so I can't get it to work.                                          here is the userlogon.html code........

 <form method="post" action="userlogin.php">
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Username:</strong>
  <input name="username" type="text" size="25"/>
</p>
<p><strong>Password:</strong>
  <input name="password" type="password" size="25"/>
</p>
<blockquote>
  <blockquote>
    <p align="right">
      <input name="submit" type="submit" onclick="MM_validateForm('username','','R','password','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" value=" Login "/>
      <input name="Reset" type="reset" id="Reset" value="Cancel" />
    

 

here is the userlogin.php code........

<?php

//check for required fields from the form
if ((!isset($_POST["username"])) || (!isset($_POST["password"]))) {
header("Location: user_logon.html");
exit;
}

//connect to server and select database
$mysqli = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "test");

//create and issue the query
$sql = "SELECT f_name, l_name FROM auth_users WHERE username = '".$_POST["username"]."' AND password = PASSWORD('".$_POST["password"]."')";

$result = mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));

//get the number of rows in the result set; should be 1 if a match
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) == 1) {

//if authorized, get the values of f_name l_name
while ($info = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
	$f_name = stripslashes($info['f_name']);
	$l_name = stripslashes($info['l_name']);
}

//set authorization cookie
setcookie("auth", "1", 0, "/", "yourdomain.com", 0);

//directs authorized user
header("Location: logon.php");

} else {
//redirect back to login form if not authorized
header("Location: registration.html");
exit;
}

?>

 

here is the logon.php page code......

        <p>
<?php  echo("<p>Welcome <b>".$_POST['f_name']."</b>!</p>") ?>	
 </p>

 

 

Can someone suggest how I can get this accomplished??

logon on with user name and password still brings me to the registration page. can someone give me any suggestions.

 

I did delete this code at the top because I was recieving crazy messages.........

if (!isset($_SESSION)) {

 session_start();

}

....the error messages I was getting was .....

when I deleted those two lines I can atleast get to the registration page but it does the same thing when I use a logon and password. its like its not retrieving and storing the data to access that page. can someone help me with this? I would really appreciate it.
