It sounds to me like you need to look into storing user info in sessions: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php So basically your user submits user / pw info on the first request and if the authentication succeeds you can start a session for the user. > > Does PHP support the writing of scripts which with forms whose actions are > self calling? eg. the form created by ftp.php calls ftp.php. Absolutely! The lazy man's way of doing this: /** HTML File */ <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST"> /** PHP File */ echo "<form action=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}\" method=\"POST\">"; > > If so, is there anything I need to do to flush the $_REQUEST buffer between > presses of the SUBMIT button? It is flushed on *every* request. $_REQUEST is "stateless" meaning that it doesn't remember what the user passed through the browser on the last SUBMIT. -- Teach a man to fish...
