In brief:

if( isset( $_POST['userName'] ) && !empty( trim( $_POST['userName'] ) )
)
{
    //
    // Save userName to session.
    //
    $_SESSION['userName'] = trim( $_POST['userName'] );
}

if( isset( $_POST['message'] ) && !empty( trim( $_POST['message'] ) )
    &&
    isset( $_SESSION['userName'] ) )
{
    //
    // Handle submission of message.
    //
}

if( !isset( $_SESSION['userName'] ) )
{
    //
    // Display user name prompt.
    //
}
