- so how would i go about doing the second option i know nearly nothing about sessions in php, i have a checklogin.php script to make sure the user is registered if users is registered then redirect them to XXXX.php would i grab the username at the same time as that it would help if i had a list like what to do and in what order the php scripts would do things inSolution #1

you had not provided complete detail that if you are having database for username or you want to fetch username from 'email providing site' in which your user created his account.if you are trying for second option,It is almost not possible coz any of the email providing site will not exchange personal detail of any of his acc holder.
if you are trying first option,session in php can help you.you can store username in a session variable n then u can access them on any page if session is not destroyed or expired.
session_start();
$_SESSION["name"]=$_POST["user_name"];
and then redirect the script to that page you want.whenever you need to print user_name on any page just type again only two lines
session_start();
print $_SESSION["name"];
u can make any no. of session variables by changing variable name i.e. "name" here n use them like above.no need to start session by " start_session(); " on a single page.
