Answer 1

You have to start your session at the top of your file with:

session_start();

So you have access to the Session Array.

Also make sure you have set $_SESSION['name'] !

You can check if $_SESSION['name'] isset so you don't get a warning and it's only outputed when it is set like this:

<?php if (isset($_SESSION['name'])) echo $_SESSION['name']; ?>

Answer 2

I think you forgot to put a die() after loginFrom() on line 28 like so:

if(!isset($_SESSION['name'])){
    loginForm();
    die();
}
