So forgetting about the class issue Assuming that site will need to display the fields separately on different pages (just first name on some - full info on others etc.)..... Do you recommend setting session vars after the primary query for each of the user fields like: $_SESSION['first'] = "joe"; $_SESSION['last'] = "smith"; $_SESSION['phone'] = "212 111 2222"; etc. ? Or might I set a session user var like... $_SESSION['thisuser'] = array('joe','smith','212 111 2222'); echo 'show last name- '.$_SESSION['thisuser'][1].'<br>'; is there a customary way to do this? > > What is important is understanding sessions, to track repeated page accesses.
