|Dear Friends:
|
|We are now developing a WWW-based travel information system using CGI
|programming. On the first page, we want users to input their names and
|passwords in order to build their own profiles and go to their sessions
|respectively. However, We have problem of the password we have to trace
|along when the user is using our system as CGI are said to be "stateless"
|therefore we have difficulty passing information from one session to
|another and at the sametime to track whether he is the same user. Can 
anybody
|give suggestions on this problem?
|
|Thanks a lot in advance!
