Warning: Illegal string offset 'username' in

Question

I am making a user login form for my website and this error pops up Error Message my code is:

<?php if( isset($user) ): ?>

    <br />Welcome <?= $user['username']; ?>
    <br /><br />You are successfully logged in!
    <br /><br />
    <a href="logout.php">Logout?</a>

<?php else: ?>

<h1>Please Login or Regester</h1>
<a href="login.php">Login</a> or
<a href="register.php">Register</a>

<?php endif; ?>

can someone help me if I need to provide anymore code i will do so to fix this error

what is the output of print_r($user). Only if it is an array. — Vegeta, Dec 30 '15 at 07:38
instead of if( isset($user) use if( isset($user['username']) — Vegeta, Dec 30 '15 at 07:39
May be `$user['username']` is not a string. Please print $user and check what it displays. — akhilp2255, Dec 30 '15 at 07:39
The error means that `$user` is a string, not an array. Why are you trying to index it. — Barmar, Dec 30 '15 at 08:07
