well Use cookies or pass the member name to the posting script
I mean there aren't 20 ways to pass variables to a script.. Either the username is sent to the script by a cookie, or in the hidden field of a form, but then you'd have to always make your link as forms, which is way longer to code than simple html links. I don't know of any other way, the client needs to send some info to tell your script "it's me"... and there aren't 20 ways to do so. You can send sessionID and store the associated username in a database or textfile on the server, but then you get to the same issue about sending the sessionID at each script request.
