how to pass uid and pwd to each page

[Anon]

I would like to know how to pass data to each page within a site for a user, such as user id and password, and which is the best way for it? Thanks.

Well, reason seems to dictate that if a person enters a password correctly the first time, then you would have no need to verify the password on subsequent requests during the active session. But, choices of data passage are n umerous (via web) $QUERY_STRING, post vars, etc... read up a bit...

really you have three choices:

1. sessions. easy. in the manual.
2. cookies. not as easy but you have more control. negative side is users can tamper with cookies or turn them off. still in the manual.
3. pass via post or get. not as easy as sessions but easier than cookies. not really in the manual but there is documentation on it out there. get is the easiest, just make all links:

http://foo.com?variable1=value1&variable2=value2

but you must urlencode() values before and urldecode them afterwards. that's in the manual.
