I'm not storing the session id to the db, I'm storing the users unique
id (I have an auto-increment unique id) FROM the db to a session and a
"loggedin = true" session.

Why check the password on every page when we know the user is logged in
by checking the "loggedin" session. If its true then they must be
logged in.

Then if I need to get data about the logged in user I just check logged
in = true and if so seach the db for the users unique id which I stored
in a session when they logged in.
