There is no <input type="textbox" in html!

Use <input type="text" or <textarea> </textarea> (content goes in between)

EDIT: Session ID

If you really want to overwrite the Session ID, use the function session_id(sid). Either way, you can only set the session ID before you start the session, so your code should look like this:

session_id("face");
session_start();

First, correct your html as follows:

<input type="text" name="uname" value="<?php if(isset($_SESSION['id']) && !empty($_SESSION['id'])) { echo $_SESSION['id']; }  ?>" />

if you get the same error you need to check your session value before displaying the form. You can use:

var_dump($_SESSION);

to make sure if your session is not overwritten somewhere else.
