Simply, sessions. Look on php.net for some tutorials about sessions, that's
what you're gonna need. You could do it simply by setting cookies in the
users browser, but sessions work better. As I understand it, sessions also
set a cookie in your browser, but only one which identifies the owner of the
session. If the user had cookies disabled, then php would default to
appending the session information to the url's (basically avoiding the
problem). You'll probably find a lot of info on www.php.net about this
though.
