    Hi folks. I was writing a login script that uses session variables to
    register a user. As I understand it, once a session variable is created, it
    can be called upon in other php scripts later on, right?

    Now, a person logs in and I provide a link for them on their login screen.
    The target of the link loads a new page, its content is based on a database
    entry that is accessed using their username and password (that way each
    login is personalized). But, when I click on the link, I get one of three
    things:

    1. if the target page is html, it views it no problem.

    2. if the target page is html with a <?php SOME CODE HERE ?> in it, it comes
    up blank on the screen.

    3. if the target page has a php extension and php code within it, an error
    404 message comes up telling me that the page doesn't exist.

    Can someone help explain to me why I see this, and/or offer a suggestion or
    an alternate way to provide personalized login pages.

    TIA

    Doug
