Rating program.

[unreal128]

I am developing a rating program that will store a user's rating and associate it with their ID. I know how to do the code for taking care of the posted form data to insert into the database, but I wanted to know the best way to pass user information to my php script. The user ID is critical since it is used as a key in case they want to look at past ratings.

I highly reccomend doing some research on ajax(/DHTML).... (and similar technologies)

Thanks for the tip. I found a good article about Ajax at http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php

Do you think this is a better approach instead of having a PHP include file that secures the web page by having HTTP headers requesting username and password or returning a 401?
