I think we are way off track here. thanks for your replies, but i must be on the wrong path. let me ask a different question that should solve my problem.
Could you help me with creating a session variable?
What page do I create it on? the login page? or the page your are directed to after a successful login?
show me some sample code on creating a session variable please?
thanks.
PS I do have e-cart if that helps anything
