I have this code with clears the input box onclick...

<input type="text" name="username" value="Username" onclick="value=''"/>

 

however is there any way to use php to get the value of username, before its posted?

 

that way i can make it so it only clears if the value of username is "username"

No.

You don't use PHP for that. Use JavaScript. More specifically, modify the onclick you already have.

onclick="if (value=='Username') value='';"
