									<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 11px;">Password:</p>
									<input type="password" id="password" name="password" style="clear: right;" />
									<input type="image" src="images/loginbutton.jpg" style="width: 66px; height: 33px; float: right; margin-right: 7px;" name="login" />
								</form>
								<div class="loginfooter" style="clear: both;"> </div>

								{

								$upload_count = $row['COUNT(username)'];

							echo '<div class="login">
									<p style="text-align: center;">Welcome, ' . ucwords($_SESSION['username']) . '</p>
									<p><a href="includes/logout.php">Logout?</a></p>
									<p><a href="index.php?username=' . $_SESSION['username'] . '">Home</a></p>

									<div class="loginfooter" style="clear: both;"> </div>
								  </div>';
								  }
							}

					} else {
						header("loaction: URL_GOES_HERE.php");
						}

				} else {
						//User isn't logged in and therefore User must login before proceding
						echo '<div class="login">
								<p>Please Login to Utilize Your Account</p>  
								<form action="index.php" method="post" name="loginform">  
									<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 11px;">Username:</p>                    
									<input type="text" id="username" name="username" />
									<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 11px;">Password:</p>
									<input type="password" id="password" name="password" style="clear: right;" />
									<input type="image" src="images/loginbutton.jpg" style="width: 66px; height: 33px; float: right; margin-right: 7px;" name="login" />
								</form>
								<div class="loginfooter" style="clear: both;"> </div>
							  </div>';
					}

 

the login form keeps redisplaying and the control panel does not display. The form is in the last else statement. Any help?

Look at your logic here

 

if($count == 1) {

 

$_SESSION["username"] = $username;

$_SESSION["password"] = $password;

 

header("location: URL_GOES_HERE?username=" . $_SESSION['username'] . "");

 

    if($_SESSION['username']) {

 

With this logic, your 2nd IF statement will never fire because your header should redirect.
