Perhaps if you show us the part where you set $_SESSION['user'] or $_SESSION['username']. and which one you really want, since you check for one but output another.

As per the PHP online manual:

PHP.net said:
If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use session_register(), session_is_registered(), and session_unregister().
Click to expand...

You should be using $_SESSION['user']=$user or even $_SESSION['user']=$_POST['Username'] to set the session variable.

Then it should be available in $_SESSION for later retrieval.
