texte = Hello,I am working on an update to an existing site. The new site will require users to log in for most functions.Based on who the user is, their menus will be different. e.g. beta testers, editors, regular users.As there will be (currently) only about 5 classes of users, and the menus will be fairly stable, I will plan on saving the menus out as an include file. That will save a it to the database for each page.The question is, what is the best way to identify the user on each page once they have logged in? A temporary cookie, with say just a time stamp and their user level? I prefer not to pass a [cart] on each page as many of the pages are designed to be bookmarked and I prefer to not clutter up the URL any more than I have to.Thanks for any suggestions. The new version of this site will be even busier than the current one. Also eventually there will be a store online (which will not require logging in) so at that point I will need to pass the cart value.-- Dale Therio +49 69 263 19977 office Dresdner Kleinwort Benson Research +49 69 263 11379 fax Jürgen-Ponto-Platz 1 +49 170 934 3610 mobile 60301 Frankfurt, Germany------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
