Hm.. I'm currently running things so that when the user logs in, I store
the user's ID as a session variable, then check that ID in every page to
see if the user is logged on, and who it is. Are there any problems with
this scheme?

That sounds right.
Don't forget to refresh your page to acknowledge if the user is still logged
in or not. That way if the user has not updated the session they must be
logged off.

Such system allows multiple logins, though both systems allow
session hijacking (if without IP/user agent checking)

A rather large topic to cover. A link to a tutorial might be more suitable
here.
The issue of multiple login under the same user should be dealt with
separately, I think.

I'm not sure, if the links I added isn't enough.

So, please fix it and post revised contents.

Q: How to implement a login system?
A: Login/authentication system can be implemented in many ways:
1. Basic login system:
When the user logins, set a cookie or session variable and expect
that variable in every pages.
2. Sessions based login:
a. When the user logins, store the session id in the database and
then compare the current session id with the one stored in the database
on every page.
b. Check logged in user's IP on every page.
c. Check logged in user's browser on every page. May use the user
agent string ($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGEN T']) or hash of it.
Caveats:
(1) will definitely allow multiple logins and may allow session
hijacking.
(2a) alone may allow session hijacking.
(2b) may break if the user is behind proxy.
(2b)&(2c) If session alone (without storing in database) is used as a
storage, it may break.
(1), (2a), (2c with database) may provide enough security.

Hello,
I need to implement a login form before my application starts and the
main form shows.
Without Application framework (AF) is this simple. In Sub Main I create
and execute login form, then (if login is successful) show and start
main form. But how to implement this with Application framework enabled?
If AF is on, I must set application startup object to form.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
