Sessions...

Well....When someone generally logs in, the username and password they enter are input into a 'session variable' that stays with them no matter what page they visit. Session variables are like $_SESSION['blah'] and can be called on any page that has:

<?php session_start(); ?>

at the top of the page (before the <html> tag). This will get all of the session variables that are currently in use. Then you can do things such as:

if ($_SESSION['user']) {//any commands or things to show while the user is logged in}else {// message or something telling them they need to log in to view the content}

It may take a while, but practice by inputting things into a session variable:

$blah = $_POST['username'];$_SESSION['blah'] = $blah;

then putting the session_start() on another page, and typing

<?phpecho $_SESSION['blah'];?>

Err thats all tha tI can think of, not sure if its clear enough. Any questions feel free to ask.
