Your form might be causing the problem. You need the fields to look something more like

PHP Code:


			
echo '<input type="text" name="username" value="' . $username . '" />';
echo '<input type="text" name="password" value="' . $password . '" />';

There is nothing in $_POST['username'] or $_POST['password'] because you're using variables to determine the name of those fields. So for all we know, the information could be showing up in $_POST['codefreek']. More likely it's going nowhere, as the name field is probably empty when the page is displayed.

Might I suggest using CSS to style your forms too?
