In brief:
if( isset( $_POST['userName'] ) && !empty( trim( $_POST['userName'] ) )
)
{
//
// Save userName to session.
//
$_SESSION['userName'] = trim( $_POST['userName'] );
}
if( isset( $_POST['message'] ) && !empty( trim( $_POST['message'] ) )
&&
isset( $_SESSION['userName'] ) )
{
//
// Handle submission of message.
//
}
if( !isset( $_SESSION['userName'] ) )
{
//
// Display user name prompt.
//
}
