    You are not storing any data on the $_SESSION array.

    Try:

    $_SESSION['account'] = true; // Or something else that evaluates to true and is relevant.
$_SESSION['password'] = 'please, anything but your password plaintext. think of the children';

    That way, when you test for the result of the login operation on home.php:

    if($_SESSION['account']){
    print"login successful";
    //do something
}

    you can satisfy the condition.
