Login php code not doing anything?

Question

i'm using a simple text document that holds a password in my site directory public_html/USERS/Matt/password.txt now the issue i'm having with my code is that when my submit button is pressed nothing seems to be happening. I'm sure it's just a silly mistake, anyone have any ideas here?

<?php
ob_clean();session_start(); 
if (isset($_GET['logout'])){
    session_destroy();  
}

$Username = $_POST['username'];
$EnteredPassword = $_POST['password'];

if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
    if (is_dir("USERS/".$Username) === true){
        $myFile=fopen("USERS/".$Username."/Password.txt","r") or exit("Can't open file!");
        $CorrectPassword = fgets($myFile);
        fclose($myFile);

        echo 'Username found.';

        if ($CorrectPassword == $EnteredPassword){
            echo 'Login successful.';   
        }

        else {
            echo 'Password incorrect.';
        }
    }

    else {
        echo 'Username not found.';
    }

    echo 'Checking if username is found...';
}

?>

Add name to the submit button

<div id="btnLogin">
     <input id="button" name='submit' type="submit" value="Login">
 </div>

Or just have `if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')`, which is 100% reliable detecting a post submission. versus checking for a form field name which you may have typoed/forgotten. – Marc B Jun 10 '16 at 21:40
