Dreamweaver documentation and help offer detailed advice on how to develop multi-page applications as well as how to create and pass a session variable.

 

Basically, you register the user name as a session variable when they login. Once a session variable is registered it is accessible from any page until the session ends.

 

Use Dreamweaver help and search on session variable for relevant documentation.

like PMJ said, you'll probably just need to hand code a session variable at the time of login... simply place the session_start() function at the top of your code, and then once they have successfully logged in, just assign their username to a variable like this:

$_SESSION['user'] = $username;

 

then, you can access the $_SESSION['user'] variable on any page of that domain during the current session.
