why not use sessions? on the first page do the login and start the session. throw the login to every other page using session variable. therefore when a user browses on the next page without the required variable you kick the page out. or you can use a database to track the user but it is more complicated. ronnie > -----Original Message----- > From: Pankaj Ahuja [mailto:pankaj@itinfobank.com] > Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 2:27 PM > To: php-db@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP-DB] authentication > > > Hi all > > I need to authenticate a user and on successful login he is > redirected to a > page.
