When the selected name is being processed:

session_start(); // send session_id cookie to user
$_SESSION['username'] = $uname;

At the top of any file that needs to know:

if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
$uname=$_SESSION['username'];
}

In the selection box:

echo '<SELECT NAME="....>';
echo '<OPTION..blahblah..';
if ($thisname==$uname) echo 'SELECTED';
echo '>'.$blahblah.$'</OPTION>';
