    From the documentation:

    Note: To use cookie-based sessions, session_start() must be called before outputing anything to the browser.

    Make sure to put session_start() before any output.
    You can always create a session whether the user logs in or not. If he logs in then, you just set some flag in the session variables to mark him as logged in (and probably regenerate the session key for security reasons).

    <?php 
session_start()

// do all the user authentication here

$_SESSION['user_authenticated'] = true;

// maybe more stuff....
?>

<!-- html stuff -->
<body>
<?php if($_SESSION['user_authenticated']) {
      echo "<font color=red>"."<h3 align=center>"."Welcome ".$_SESSION['employee']['username']."</h3>"."</font>";
      echo "<br />"."<a href='upload_file.php'>"."<font color='white'>"."<h4>"."Up-Load Files"."</h4>"."<font>"."</a>";
      echo "<br />"."<br />"."<a href='list_files.php'>"."<font color='white'>"."<h4>"."List All Up-Loaded Files"."</h4>"."<font>"."</a>"
} ?>

<!-- and so on -->

    This is more or less pseudo code but it should give you the right idea.
