When there's no "user record" in session space, the login box gets displayed, and as a response of user login the script checks the database. It then reads all necessary data, including last login, user rights, etc etc, from the DB, sometimes updates a user cookie, depending on the app. DB is checked only once. -- >O Ernest E.
