    Newbie question (login)

    I started making a login script that uses an Access database to store the name and the password.
    Since this is my first script, I was wondering if the extra information should be stored in cookies or using a session...?

    Thanks.

    What extra info?
    Many people complain of Server variables (hog Server performance/memory) so use cookies if that is sufficient. That is probably the best method anyway. That or hidden form fields. (But then you've gotta have hidden form fields everywhere...)

    What would be the reason to use hidden fields...
    what I mean is, how would they work in something like this?

    Well, I wasn't sure what 'extra information' meant, but you could use hidden form fields to just hold data that the user can't edit or see.
