So if I make a signup page that inserts the user's username and pass to mysql, and a login page that checks with the mysql to see if the pass is right.. and if its right log them in.. but im confused about the login bit, i mean how do i know to display all their personal details from mysql, like their profile page etc..what do i need to make for the place they go after the login bit?

Any adive what i need to learn, thanks
