I'm not able to see the value of Username in LoginOK.php. Please help me with this.

Is there any IDE or debugger which will help me trace the values of variables?

Well, is username present in the url?
url:

somewebsite.com?username=makusn00b

Wait, you say it's being POSTed, then why are you using GET?
[php]
$username = $_POST['username'];
[/php]

Nope. The username is not present in the URL

GET is used when the variable is stored in the URL. POST is done behind the scenes. Try POST instead of GET in your form.

Another small question....Is there any IDE or debugger which will help me trace the values of variables?
Tried Eclipse with some defualt plugin for PHP. But it threw an error whenever it saw a MySQL statement.

No sure about free and official ones, but I recommend just using echo statements to echo variables as you go through.

{function1}
echo ("After function 1: A=".$var_a." B=".$var_b);
{function2}
echo ("After function 2: A=".$var_a." B=".$var_b);
