How do you get variable to the other side of a script

[pete horm]

Hi Everyone,
I don't have very much experience programming at all, so bear with me. I
have a Service Request web form that is setup as follows:

Index.html Login Page-//Usernames on MySQL -->

trylogon.php-//Use $POST for Usernames and Passwords authenticates then
opens -->

Form.php-//Submit service request to MySQL -->

Add.php-//Adds info to the database, prints confirmation page.

This is all working fine. The one problem is that the "Form.php" page
makes them enter their Username again in the form. Users would like it to
automatically populate that with the Username they plugged into the Login
page. I don't know how to go about this? Some of the things I have tried
simply won't pass the variable for the Username to the Form after it goes
through trylogon.php. I have PHP 5.12, and global variables are turned
off by default. Any suggestions that you can offer a "newb"?

Thanks for any help you can offer?

Try replacing your

<input type="text" name="username" >

with

<input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo $username; ?>">
