You set the action to your form tag to come back upon itself

<form method="post" action="thispage.php">
<input type="text" name="username" value="">
<input type="submit" name="loginSumbit" value="Log In">
</form>

Then when you come back around, the values are in your $_POST array, like

if (isset($_POST['loginSubmit']))
{
echo "Welcome " . $_POST['username'];
}
