If you have your server setup to parse php inside an html page you can do it this way.
<?php
session_start();
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
?>
<input name="username" id="item4_text_1" type="text" maxlength="254" placeholder=""
autocomplete="off" data-hint="" value="<?php echo $username ; ?> "/>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
