Newbie question = how to send variable form one page to the other

i have a page with a very simple login. i want to be able to use the
username variable to great the user by username when he reaches the
page where he is redirected to. and at the same time get the ID field
from my table which is and INT and PRIMARY_KEY.

i've tried using a regular vairable and calling it back from the
second page, but the second page doesn't read the first page's
variable.

btw, i'm using the login server behaviour that comes with dramweaver
cs3 that adds the following code:

$LoginRS__query=sprintf("SELECT username, password FROM information
WHERE username=%s AND password=%s",
GetSQLValueString($loginUsername, "text"),
GetSQLValueString($password, "text"));

$LoginRS = mysql_query($LoginRS__query, $WebParashaDB) or
die(mysql_error());
$loginFoundUser = mysql_num_rows($LoginRS);
if ($loginFoundUser) {
$loginStrGroup = "";

//here is where i need to enter my text


//declare two session variables and assign them
$_SESSION['MM_Username'] = $loginUsername;
$_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'] = $loginStrGroup;

if (isset($_SESSION['PrevUrl']) && false) {
$MM_redirectLoginSuccess = $_SESSION['PrevUrl'];
}
header("Location: " . $MM_redirectLoginSuccess );
}
else {
header("Location: ". $MM_redirectLoginFailed );
}
}
?>

any help would be appreciated.

thank you very much,
GD
