But if I want to use $username accross many pages then I will have to make it a session variable and call it as such on each page like "$_SESSION['username']"

CURRENT FILE: <?php echo "$username is logged in!!"; echo "hello $username, you are logged in."; ?> WHAT I THINK YOU WOULD CHANGE IT TO: <?php echo "{$_GET['username']} is logged in!!"; echo "hello {$_GET['username']}, you are logged in."; ?> WHAT YOU SHOULD DO INSTEAD: <?php $username = $_GET['username']; echo "$username is logged in!!"; echo "hello $username, you are logged in."; ?> of course. don't forget to validate your incoming data. hth, chris. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
