Show your visitors that membership does have its privileges! If you haven?t already put the protected membership area of your website into place, that?s the first order of business.

First off I'd like to explain what a session is, in case you don't know what it is. A session begins when a user surfs into your website and ends when the user leaves your website (or one of your webpages terminates it explicitly). Essentially, a cookie is associated with a browser, and some kind of storage resource is allocated on the server to hold session variables. PHP4 uses files to store session variables, but one could theoretically use a database or shared memory to do the same.

The code below is extremely simple indeed. Anyone with a basic PHP understanding will see how simple it is.
