Session_start(); $_SESSION['userid'] = $userid; ?> Now you have $_SESSION['userid'] on any page you use session_start() on. That's the idea of sessions...passing variables among pages... You use the same technique to make sure a person logged in. When the username and password match, set a session variable like 'logged-in'. On every other page, check for this variable. If it exists, they are logged in, if not, then redirect to the log in page. ---John Holmes...
