I'm stuck!

It correctly checks user input with database for usename/password. Then it creats a session and registers a variable. Then I say:
$GLOBALS["var"] = "something";
But I can't seem to get this on other pages.

Also... when the use clicks logout, I execute a session_destroy(), but the session doesn't seem to die.

Anyone have any help?

Thanks

Oh, it's 'alright,' and all, but some times they really limit themselves in what they do. Some of their tutorials could've been simplified so much.

Ahh well, don't listen to me. I'm bad for your teeth.

thanks

I also found this:
http://php.net/manual/ref.session.php

I plan to prompt for username/password, then check it against a database. If they are authorized, start a session variable. Then everywhere they go on the site, they should have full access (or maybe muiltple level users, hmmm).

When they close their browser the session variables will be lost (this is good). Or when click a logout button, I execute a 'session_destroy' and teminate the session.

The next time they visit they will have to 'log on' again.

This one took me some time to find.

Although I don't like Webmonkey a whole lot, I think this'll help.
