would this be secure?

Hi,

I have this login script, which stores the username in a session upon a successful login. I wondered if it was secure to do that? Can't the user just edit the username in the session and then be loggedin as another user or..?

No, the user can not edit session data which is stored on the server, as opposed to cookies which are stored client side. From what you've described there is nothing insecure there.
