In order for an online store to keep track of what's in whose shopping trolley, the system needs to know which user is making specific requests. After users log in, they would get lost amongst all the other users if you didn't keep track of their session. By assigning a unique value to this user, the system can know who it is without having them log in on every page

One cool thing about php is that you can fairly easily validate users before displaying content on a page by page basis. Let's say you don't want to restrict the entire directory using htaccess, this is a neat alternative. Let's create a login system using PHP and mySQL. First we need to create the table that holds our user data. We're going to have 3 fields, logged, which will keep track of the last time a person logged in to the page, user and pass which will be the username and password respectively. Using Telnet you can simply cut and paste this into your mySQL monitor. If you need help with how to log into the mySQL monitor then see the diary entry on connecting to mySQL.

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.

First you will use a form to pass the $pw variable to the php script. When entering passwords into forms it is a good idea to use the "password" input box instead of the "text" one, so that as you type there are asterisks in place of the input. Something like this will work fine:

The first and (possibly) the most important step is to have a logical way to group user data - a lot of people will push different forms on to you, but, in the end - whatever works best for you is the way you should do things
