Ok your after something else then what I was thinking. I thought you were writing your own script.
Your going to need a login script.

If you made you form then all you have to do is change the php page that the form builder points to.
At the top of your myformname.html, look for this line.
Change it to point to your php login script.
Your login script will then be able to grab the variables by $_POST or $_REQUEST.
At the top of your myformname.html, look for this line.
action="../myformname.php"
Change it to point to your php login script.
action="../myloginscript.php" target="_parent"
Your login script will then be able to grab the variables by $_POST or $_REQUEST.

I'm a little confused now, i'm sorry. I'm not really a developer... If i insert this code on a page:
<?php
session_start(); // start up your PHP session!
?>
<?php
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
echo 'Your username is '.$username.' Welcome to the site' ;
?>
I can grab the username on the page where is the form ... But what i want is the name of the user (username) in the form field ... not on the page

Ok I got you now.
You would use this inplace of the input value for the field that you want it to appear in.
Example:
You would use this inplace of the input value for the field that you want it to appear in.
value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION["username"])) { echo $_SESSION["username"]; } ?>"
Example:
<input name="username" id="item36_regex_1" required type="text" maxlength="30"
placeholder="Enter your username" data-hint="" autocomplete="off" value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION["username"])) { echo $_SESSION["username"]; } ?>" />
placeholder="Enter your username" data-hint="" autocomplete="off" value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION["username"])) { echo $_SESSION["username"]; } ?>" />

Did not work ...but i think we are almost there ... here's my code:
<input name="username" id="item1_text_1" type="text" maxlength="254" placeholder=""
autocomplete="off" data-hint="" value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION["username"])) { echo $_SESSION["username"]; } ?>" />
I attach a screen picture ... that is a test page. As you can see i can grab the username (emeruu) on the page ... but the username fileld form none
