Where have you looked for articles and tutorials? The basic PROGRAMMING
IN PHP book I bought from O'Reilly
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/progphp/
discusses this under sessions. Their more "how do I do ..." PHP COOKBOOK
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/phpckbk/toc.html
has this very problem in the table of contents. You might want to pick
these books up either on-line or at your local technical book store.
