user personalization
I am EXTREMELY new to PHP and all of this but I want to find some way to allow users to personalize the site. I need some type of authentication script but I do not know of any free ones that are worth anything. I have the web protected by username and password on the host but I do not know how to make their web browser carry those values on through the website for instance: I login user: Xavaier pass: something ; when it takes me to the welcome screen I would like to see it say Welcome Xavaier (or whatever I logged in as) hope this makes some type of sense? lol .. any help or a point in the right direction would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks much!

If you are using HTTP Authentication, then you can simply use the environment variable REMOTE_USER to get the user's login name.
