using variables from file1.php in file2.php

[sander_ESP]

hello all,

i want to create a login script to acces part of my site.

now the logging in part works fine. the file is called login.php
after that the file index.php is displayed.

so far so good.

now to display different content depending on what user logged in , i need to pass the value of the variable userID from login.php to index.php

i tried echoing the $userID in index.php but it comes up empty so obviously i have to take some steps to get it to show.

anyone?
