Hi Aaron, you might want to take a look at PEAR's LiveUser: http://pear.php.net/package/LiveUser Takes a bit of time to set up but should be exactly what you are looking for. It handles user authentication (login), session timeout and user rights. Regards, Torsten Roehr -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
