Re: regarding session

Smita, you would put something like this in the start of your login validation page: session_start(); // This starts the session $ValidUserID = $UserID; // UserID is the field in your database table, here you're assigning it to $ValidUserID session_register("ValidUserID"); // This function registers the session. On each page thereafter you would use the session_start(); function and then test to see if a valid session has been created by doing something like: if(!session_register("ValidUserID")) { echo "Error msg here"; } else { echo "This is stuff you see if you are logged in"; } I'm new to all this also, but I've got it working so you shouldn't really have many problems getting sessions to work. Hope this helps you out.
