Look in the $_COOKIE array to see what was set:

print_r($_COOKIE);

It is $_COOKIE["usrname"] where "usrname" is the name of your cookie. It needs single or double quotes around the name because that is the array index. Use your browser to verify that your set cookie code actually worked. Like Firefox -> Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Show Cookies. If it is not there then look at your set cookie code. If it is there and the name is correct then look at your check cookie code. When you get that working it's more sophisticated to have your login.php action back to itself. Then it can verify correct cookie and die(header('Location: /home.php')); Or if there's an error (wrong password) it can repeat the login form and fill the username field to make it easier to try again.
