Hi Leston

In case Leif, doesn't get back to you, here's a way to do it (inline). Similar to what

// Check if session var is set
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["ses_username"])) {
        // check to see if we have a posted var from form
        if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["frm_username"])) {
                // We have no session var and a form var 
                // waiting for us
                $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["ses_username"]=$HTTP_POST_VARS["frm_username"];
        }
}

// Now $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["ses_username"] exists and contains
// the username

You can shorten $HTTP_SESSION_VARS to $_SESSION if PHP version > 4.1.0.
