Hi,

This is typically done with sessions.
So you should start with making sure you understand the working of sessions.
A good place to start is www.php.net:

http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

Pay attention to session_start() and start with making a simple page
that only tries to read/write sessionvars and try to retrieve them on
another page.

Also, great for debugging:
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "</pre>";

(Replace $_SESSION with $_POST or $_GET or $_COOKIE to print out those
superglobals, also very handy when developing and debugging.)
