hello...
if you are carrying stuff from one page to another using forms, but don't want the user to keep entering the same stuff, use a hidden input field...
<form type=hidden name=user_name value=$user_name>
alternatively you could use sessions (if you're using php4) so add this to all your php3 pages
session_start();
session_register("user_name");
hope it helps
