Passing variables between pages

Hi everyone,

Stupid question of the week...

A array variable is not being passed between 2 pages. Are my options:

#1. Use sessions?

#2. Use cookies?

#3. Use a hidden form to pass the variable's around?

Here's some context... I am working on a timecard system where they are presented the main page, where they login they are brought to a screen where they need to clock in/out. It all starts working great, but when they clock in/out it loses the variable that says they are logged in so it tries to re-authenticate them which doesn't work since the username/password are no longer in the $_POST array...

I can provide code if needed, but I think it's just a logic problem on my end :)
