Using Session and Cookies together for remember me - php

Question

In my login page I am using Session and Cookies both, session for usual login and cookies when remember me is checked. My code for creating session or setting cookies is:
if(isset($_POST['login'])){
$username = $_POST['user_login'];
$password = $_POST['password_login'];
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT * FROM userss WHERE username = :username AND password = :password");
$stmt->execute(array(':username'=>$username,':password'=>$password));
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$user_db = $row['username'];
$pass_db = $row['password'];
if($username == $user_db && $password == $pass_db) {
$_SESSION['username']=$username;
if ($_POST['rememberme']!=NULL) {
setcookie('username', $username,time()[phone]);
}
header("Location:main.php");
}
and then on any page to create a user fuction I am calling session or cookie like this:
if(isset($_COOKIE['username'])||isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
$username = $_COOKIE['username'];
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
}
Now my problem is:
Even when remember me is checked session is used and not cookies I tested it by exiting my browser. I can't figure out where code has gone wrong.
In the second code if(isset($_COOKIE['username'])||isset($_SESSION['username'])) { is correct but I am not sure how to define username for both different situations also
$username = $_COOKIE['username']; is giving me undefined index username. May be my way of setting cookies has gone wrong.

Answer 1

Replace here
if (isset($_POST['rememberme'])) {
setcookie('username', $username,time()[phone]);
}
And in user functions
if(isset($_SESSION['username']) {
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
}
else if(isset($_COOKIE['username']){
$username = $_COOKIE['username'];
}
else
{
//invalid ---
}
