Isn't logging in and out all about sessions??

[shachi]

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me that isn't logging in and logging out is all about setting and destroying sessions?? When you log in you set a session with value "loggedin" and check if that session exists(allowing the user to access a page) and when you log out you just destroy that session?? I have been curious about this for a while but if anyone could help me with this, it would simply be great.

Thanks in advanced!!!

It doesn't have to be done that way, but that's probably the best way to do it, yes

Oh, thanks Twey!!! Now I think that I should go on with my authentication script. Thanks again!!
