Session HELP

[ab4net]

Dear All,
i have created a form to post a username to login.php (form located in main.php) and when i click of log bot.
the user name variable is not there .. ?!

what can i do ..?
what i need, is, when a user log in, after checking his username and password (and i have no problem with this) i want to keep a note in his computer that he is logges wherever he go in the website ...

and to replace the GUEST word by the usename ..

i have wrote in the login.php:

<?php
session_start("userab");
if (!session_is_registered("userab")){
echo "<font size='1'>(Guest)</font>";
}else{
echo "<font size='1'>(".$userab.")</font>";
}
?>

and to register the username in the session:

session_register("userab");

You could try something like this:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['userID'] = $your_variable;
session_register('auth');
session_register('logname');
?>

To recognize the session-variable/user in each of your other files, simply add this at the start of your .php-files where you need "security" or you need your "$your_variable":

<?php
session_start();
if (@$auth != "yes")
{
header("Location: bad_login_page.php");
exit();
}
if(isset($SESSION['userID'])){
$your_variable = $SESSION['userID'];
}
?>

...this probably looks a bit messy, but if you try it out I guess you'll understand.

Just forget about the [session_register('logname'); ] -part of the code. You don't have to use it(delete it if you want to try out my example).

sorry...
