// Check if session var is set
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["ses_username"])) {
// check to see if we have a posted var from form
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["frm_username"])) {
// We have no session var and a form var
// waiting for us
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["ses_username"]=$HTTP_POST_VARS["frm_username"];
}
}
// Now $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["ses_username"] exists and contains
// the username

You can shorten $HTTP_SESSION_VARS to $_SESSION if PHP version > 4.1.0.
