Are you setting the variables in the form? Something like this - note the value field in the username field:
<form method="post" action="index.php" name="loginuser"> <table summary="layout table to hold login data" width="300" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"> <tr> <td align="left"><p class="small"><b>Username:</b></p></td> <td align="left"><input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo $username;?>" maxlength="50" size="15" style="width: 120px; font-size: 12px"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left"> <p class="small"><b>Password:</b></p></td> <td align="left"><input type="password" name="password" maxlength="50" size="15" style="width: 120px; font-size: 12px"> </tr> <tr> <td align="left"><p> </p></td> <td align="left"><p><input type="submit" value="login" name="login" style="width: 50px; heigth: 18px; font-size: 12px"></p></td> </tr> </table> </form> This way, depending on how youare refreshing the login form, if the $username variable passed your validation tests it should be set automatically into the form.
