I'm a god.
I figured this out, all I had to do was on the login page I set a $_SESSION['username'] = $username; and then I called it on the index.
<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(0);
if($_SESSION['login'] == 1)
{
?>
<html>
page content
</html>
<?php
} else {
?>
<html>
if not logged in content
</html>
<?php
}
?>

It's usually best to use the userID for the session rather then the user name. That's so if you are ever doing any lookups you can make sure that you are always pulling the right records.
