It really was funny ! ;-)

BUT, you could be more secure if you go like:
1. the user put in username and password into the form
2. a query seaching for that combination and if found
3. UPDATE a (additional) field name "Clearly" in the UserTable with a new
UUID
4. put this UUID in a Cookie, named LoginID

Now, there is no change...especialy with SSL inclusive.

Every Time you need some UserInformations you "have" to read
that information over a query with "Clearly=#cookie.LoginID#"

Because there is always, after each login, a new LoginID it is more secure.
AND, because it is no #Session.LoginID# it do not have to be locked
AND, because it is no #Session.LoginID# it can't be Copy&Pasted from the URL

Be shure that you only use a temp. Cookie, so the Cookie will be cleared
after the browser ist closed

You can log the IP-Adresse to if you like WhoIs a User....
www.maxmind.de tells you even more about an IP-Adress !

Source if you like, but OT.
