That is the very nature of web, it is state-less. It doesn't remember your previous visit. The solution is to use a session variable as an array to store the submitted name of each postback:

PHP

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['name’])) {
   $_SESSION['name’]=array();
} else {
   array_push($_SESSION[‘name’], $_GET["username"]);
}

foreach($_SESSION[‘name’] as $name){
   echo $name."<br>;
}
