Beginner php session/user access question

Question

I'm using DreamWeaver MX 2004 (website uses php and mysql)
and want users, when they login to view only their content. my sql
table that connects to the login form has an id, name and password
columns.
a successful login is taken to a page with 3 links (page to
update content, view content and add content). I'm think I need to
carry the id from the login mysql table and think it goes in the
code below. I'm just not sure where. of course, if i'm wrong,
please point me in the correct direction.
thanks!
here's my code:
<?php
session_start();
$MM_authorizedUsers = "2";
$MM_donotCheckaccess = "false";
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this
page
function isAuthorized($strUsers, $strGroups, $UserName,
$UserGroup) {
// For security, start by assuming the visitor is NOT
authorized.
$isValid = False;
// When a visitor has logged into this site, the Session
variable MM_Username set equal to their username.
// Therefore, we know that a user is NOT logged in if that
Session variable is blank.
if (!empty($UserName)) {
// Besides being logged in, you may restrict access to only
certain users based on an ID established when they login.
// Parse the strings into arrays.
$arrUsers = Explode(",", $strUsers);
$arrGroups = Explode(",", $strGroups);
if (in_array($UserName, $arrUsers)) {
$isValid = true;
// Or, you may restrict access to only certain users based
on their username.
if (in_array($UserGroup, $arrGroups)) {
$isValid = true;
if (($strUsers == "") && false) {
$isValid = true;
return $isValid;
$MM_restrictGoTo = "_login.php";
if (!((isset($_SESSION['MM_Username'])) &&
(isAuthorized("",$MM_authorizedUsers, $_SESSION['MM_Username'],
$_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'])))) {
$MM_qsChar = "?";
$MM_referrer = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (strpos($MM_restrictGoTo, "?")) $MM_qsChar = "&";
if (isset($QUERY_STRING) && strlen($QUERY_STRING)
> 0)
$MM_referrer .= "?" . $QUERY_STRING;
$MM_restrictGoTo = $MM_restrictGoTo. $MM_qsChar .
"accesscheck=" . urlencode($MM_referrer);
header("Location: ". $MM_restrictGoTo);
exit;
?>
<?php
mysql_select_db($database_midnightnet, $midnightnet);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM trs_admin";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $midnightnet) or
die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
?>

MM_Username is the default session that Dreamweaver users for
its login routine. What ever name the user logins in as
[email protected], bob, Iamgreat443 etc is what is carried thru in
that session variable. I always make the users use emails
personally. If you to go the Binding tab > + > Session
Variable type in MM_Username for Name it will create the session
variable in your binding window so you can access it the recordset
dialogs. You can then filter your user info on that session
variable for any database you have ID'd your users in. Hope this
helps
