Problem with if statement

[PHPiSean]

So basically I've been experimenting with setting cookies and sessions. The code in my header file will display a login if there is no $_SESSION['username']. However, the else statement verifies that there is, and echo's "hello." My problem lies in the else statement, when the login form disappears, but nothing in the else statement appears. Here's the code, I feel like I am missing something obvious.

 

<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])){
echo "<li><a href='register.php'>Register</a></li>";
echo "</ul>";
  echo "
    <table>  
    <tr>
    <form name='login' method='post' action='login.php'>
    <tr><td>Username</td> <td><input type='text' name='username'></td></tr>
    <tr><td>Password</td> <td><input type='password' name='password'></td></tr>
    <tr><td><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Login'></td></tr>
    <tr><td><input type='checkbox' name='rememberme' value='remember'> Remember</td></tr>
    </form>
    </table>
";
}else{
echo "hello";
}

?>

 

Thanks in advance

Also, I do have

 

<?php ini_set('session.cookie_domain','.suriak.com')?>
<?php session_start(); ?>

 

I just cut it out and went to the statement
