Web Page Log on.

Hello experts,

I am new to web page developing and I have created a few pages that are hyperlinked together.  Each page can query, add, delete or update records in a DB.  On each page the user must enter their UserName and Password along with their database values to ammend a record.  The page will validate the username and password and upate/delete/add/whatever the corrisponding record.  

What I would like, is for the user to Log into a Home Page and then not have to log in again during their session.  <--- this is how most pages work if I am not mistaken.  I may be able to acomplish this with just the basic ideas behind how one would do this.  But, I do need some detail about the concepts.

Thank you,

Hi travishaberman,

Mainly, you use a session cookie.

It usually depends on what server-side language you use to determine how to proceed, but for instance, PHP has session_start(); and stuff...
