I'm not sure what it is you want to do but maybe this could help.

<?php 
if (($_POST[pass]=="pass") and ($_POST[user]=="user"))
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['auth']=1;
header ("Location:page1.php");
}
else
{
header ("Location:logon.php?badlogin=2");
}
?>

$_SESSION

<?php 
session_start();
if ($_SESSION['auth'] ==1)
{ header("Location:page1.php"); }
?>

so am i 😃 , can you expand in more detail to what your trying/wanting to achive

well basically ive got a session set up, then theres a page you go to where you edit your details (e.g. name etc), this UPDATE query works however i went the user to be able to edit information based on the id (e.g. what person is logged in).

see? think that makes some sense 🙂
