Re: Track user usage, session tracking or cookies?

I use sessions to manage users once they log in. Here is an article
about managing users with mysql and sessions:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/users-php-sessions-mysql

Once a user logs in, declare a session:

session_start();

Declare a session variable saying that the person is logged in:

$_SESSION['login'] = true;

When a user tries to get to a user-only page, check the session
variable to see if the person is a logged-in registered user:

if ($_SESSION['login'] == true)
{
Let user request the page;
}
else
{
Send user to the registration page;
}
