If you are using cookies, which you should be if you are maintaining a logged in session, you should be able to pull that information from the cookie

it'll be sth like this:

On validation page:

<?php
session_start();
if (validate() === true) $_SESSION["user"] = $valid_user;
?>

On other pages:

<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION["user"]){
header("Location: index.html");
die();} //redirect to login page

echo "logged in as: ".$_SESSION["user"];
?>

Hope this helps you start
