I'm still trying to get this scenario worked out and don't seem to be able
to get it done.

Here's what I'm trying to do:
User logs into a login page and inputs email address and password. User
accessess password protected page, which contains a few links. User clicks
on one of the links, opens page, looks at content and then clicks back to
main page.

User is now asked to input password again.... what do I have to do to make
sure all related links/pages on the main.php page are accessible with that
same password the user input the first time? Also.. how can I password
protect ALL the linked pages on the main.php site with the same password but
user only has to log in once!!

No database, but just sessions? I looked at those and also Tedd was kind
enough to send something but for some reason I can't get it to go.

Can someone forward some good instructions on how to accomplish this task?
I would greatly appreciate it. Still learning this program as you can tell.

Set a session variable after the login has been confirmed and check for
it at the beginning of every page. If it's not set, then redirect to login.
