Presevre php variables from login from to every page

[neilphan]

Please Help PHP GURS!
I have a login.php form. How do I allow that data on the login.php
form accessible to every page in my applicaton?

Login.php goes to Auth.php. In Auth.php, i can access the username and
password using the $_POST['user'] no problem. But how can I pass the
data that AUTH.php got from the LOGIN.php via a POST call to other
pages?

For instance, login.php passes data to auth.php via a form post. In
auth.php, how do i pass data to other php pages that it got?

in AUTH.php
I can do a header("Location: home.php?login=".$_POST['user'});
However, this will show the login name and password which is unsecure.
DO you have any tips or sample code for this php newb?

Please, if anyone knows how to solve this problem,
Please reply or email me at ne******@gmail.com and if you would like to
see my app please email me and i'll send you my app so that you can
take a look and see where i went wrong.
Thanks in advance Your Humble PHP NEWB!

Store the data in a database, or a file, or use session variables.

But try session variables first. :-)

Geoff,
I did store it in the SESSION Variable, but it's not passing the data.
AUTH.php
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['loginName'] = $_POST['loginName'];
header("Location: home.php");
?>

HOME.php
<?php
session_start();
$currentUser = $_SESSION['loginName']; <--------- error out on this
line
?>

It says that the index $currentUser is undefiended. I have Sessions
vairalbe enabled because I was able to pass and get the SESSION ID, but
I can't pass values into any session variables.

Please Help

If the error message says "index $currentUser is undefiended" then the
code you posted is not the code you're running.

Please post the code you're running when you get the error.

Well the first thing I would do is to echo the various variables to see
what is set.
