Sessions are a breeze if you have register globals OFF. Simply put session_start() on each page you want to use them. Then, just use the $_SESSION variable to store whatever you want. It's an array, so make a key and store anything... session_start() $_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar'; $_SESSION['my']['array'] = 'something'; if(isset($_SESSION['admin'])) { do_something(); } etc... If you're just talking about "using" sessions, that's all there is to it. Now anything you've assigned to $_SESSION will be available on any page with session_start(). Now, it can get more complex with custom session handlers, handling users who deny cookies, etc. The user comments in the manual provide some insight here. ---John W. Holmes...
