I think your flow is incorrect Do some thing like this:

index.php:

<?php
include_once("view/login.html");
include_once("controller/login.php");
if(isset($_SESSION['user']))
{
echo "User Is :".$_SESSION['user'];
}
?>

Login.html:

<form action="urltoindex.php" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
    <td>
        Username : 
    </td>
    <td>
        <input type="text" name="txtUsername" />
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>
        Password : 
    </td>
    <td>
        <input type="password" name="pwdPassword" />
    </td>
    </tr>
 </table>
<input type="submit" name="btnLogin" value="Log In" />
</form>

login.php controller:

 <?php
    if(isset($_POST['btnLogin'])){
    $_SESSION['user'] = "admin";
    header("Location: urlToIndex.php");
    die();
    }
 ?>

index.php -> loginform -> submitform -> index.php(with User)

ur right. but this dont solve session peroblem. in login. php controller page know session but in index show no session is set – simra Dec 29 '15 at 08:21
i checked session path its "/tmp" – simra Dec 29 '15 at 08:23
make sure you start session before using it,... and also try to debug in login.php to check if its accessing session or not and then tell me what happened – Anand Singh Dec 29 '15 at 08:25
in first line in index i use start. – simra Dec 29 '15 at 08:31
in login .php i used echo $_session and its work. but in index no work – simra Dec 29 '15 at 08:31
Check index.php session after you set not every time... – Anand Singh Dec 29 '15 at 08:53
i did exactly this work. after i lognin. i check in login .php session is ok but in index no session – simra Dec 29 '15 at 10:28
If you have different pages you should call `session_start()` at top to each page. do this and check. it will work. – Anand Singh Dec 29 '15 at 10:32
no all pages work by include in index.php – simra Dec 29 '15 at 13:44
