BleepingComputer.com: Creating Login Sessions

I'm just finished learning javascript and have just starting learning about php, and anyway what i would like to do is create a profile system like www.myspace.com or http://spaces.msn.com

how would i go about creating a login system, so when a user logs on, they are taken to their profile, so they can edit it?

Usually something like that is pretty advanced. Do you want it as a stand alone page or a index.php?page=user_cp

I usually make an user_cp.php file that handles all the functions the user can edit in their profile and also a session.php page that handles the input from the login, setting of cookies etc for the web application.

I Can Use The Index.php? System, Because I Just Installed PHP And Now Ready To Start Learning About It.

If you have a database, this tutorial works well - http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Creating-a-...P-Login-Script/
