ok once they login it goes to this page where it logs in

<?
include("database.php");

$myusername = $_POST ['pilotid'];
$mypassword = $_POST ['pilotpass'];

$sql = "SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='bssa-$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

$count = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($count==1) {
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
header("location:pilotlogged.php");
}
else {
echo "WRONG USERNAME OR PASSWORD";}

$_SESSION['myusername'] = $myusername

?>

the $SESSION['myusername'] = $myusername only regiesters the name of the username so i want it on the main index to show up as something like this You are still logged in click here to go to the pilots page but only if $SESSION['myusername'] = $myusername

$tbl_name is undefined in your code.

in index.php the $myusername value won't alive, just the $_SESSION["myusername"]

session_register has used in php4 , in php5 lets use the $_SESSION where you add a value to a s. variable.

and start the session first, using start_session()...

check this query, the red value!
....WHERE username='bssa-$myusername' and ....

And do not use variables into an SQL query directly, lets santize it with
mysql_real_escape_string

better example for user and password check:

$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='%s' AND password='%s'",
            mysql_real_escape_string($user),
            mysql_real_escape_string($password));
