Hi

I have a login form in which i submit the username and password this way...

<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username">
<input type="text" name="password">

<input type="hidden" name="option" value="login">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" class="button" value="Login" >
</form>


Now, i after i submit the login form i need to submit the login information. So i use the hidden field option so that it goes to index.php?option=login ...(Is it so? I'm not sure)

Also I need to submit the same information to another page where i need to use option=forum

Now how do i do this? Basically, i'm trying to modify my application so that user need not login two times(in the website and forum differently)

Please Help..!!

Once your users have logged in you can store the variables in a cookie or using php sessions.

Once you do this all your other php pages can that access these variables.

Sessions are better as they run from the server side but webhosts sometimes dont allow them and cookies can be stopped by a user that turns off cookies.

In this case (web host disallows, or no cookies) you can make a custom session running from a database, transfering the "session id" via HTTP_VARS. (assuming you have a database on the host)
