User Authentication problems

[davetheNewbie]

hi everyone i am using a php site and i have been trying to implement user
authentication by completing the macromedia tutorial "Macromedia - Developer
Center Implementing User Authentication" and i have done exactly what they say
to do but i manage to log in alright but if i go to another page which checks
for user authentication it keeps on failing and goin back to the login
page("where i set it to go") is there any secrets in how i am supposed to be
storing the columns in mysql or somethin that i dont know of?? any information
would be great

Yes, the great secret is that it's a "high severity bug" in Dreamweaver
(Macromedia's words, not mine). I reported this to MM in April last
year; they acknowledged the problem; but did nothing about it. The
analysis and (fortunately simple) solution are here (watch any wrap in
the URL):

It's a long thread, but you need read only the first post from me. Most
of the rest of the thread is from someone who had a completely unrelated
problem.
