I have no idea what you're asking here, your description is very vague. Are you trying to echo the value for U_Name?

If you want to echo $U_Name, simply

echo "username = " . $_POST['U_Name'];

As far as registering your session, if what you had doesn't work, try

session_name(test); 
session_start(); 

$U_Name = $_POST['U_Name'];
session_register(U_Name);

But once again, your description is extremely vague.

ya dude the
"$U_Name = $_POST['U_Name'];" before the session register made it work. thanks for the help, and basically want I wanted to do to be more clear is

have a login page, where when you psuh the submit button thouse values {username, password etc} will become a variable like $U_Name. understand or am I being a newbie hehe.

Thanks again for the speed results

Yeah. Just use $_POST['var']

where var is the name of your form item.
