Hello,

Could someone suggest a tutorial on how to use user authentication. I need to learn more about sessions and cookies on logins. I can do the rest, but just can’t get that part… Also, is it possible to do something like this to view news: index.php?p=newspost?id=$id ? I have everything set, but it isn’t even loading the page newspost.php and I have the cases all set up. It isn’t working for me, so I wasn’t sure if it was possible. Pleas ehelp! 🙂

Peter
