creating user authentication system

[donut]

Hi, I would like to create a user authentication system, but when they log in, how would i make it personalized.
Can you tell me why I always get ?PHPSESSID=fc912e31cae17760fd97ce9f4684ae18 attached to all my link.

The simplest is to lookup preferences based on the username submitted
at login.
Some more complicated solutions include building a preference database
keyed by user id wich can then be stored on the users' machines in a
cookie.
The general idea is to save a group of preferences for a user based on
name or ID somewhere on the server and then load those user prefs when
the suer logs in. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

HELLO MATE, You can also think of using session management to identify or authenticate user and then personalize the page.
