hello tmary,
hmm your problem seems to be a beginners problem?
well there are two points to help u accomplish ur aim.
1.the database tabel or users
2. the users username (which should be a primary key in the table)
now this is the flow.....
when the user logs in using the web login page u will create u check 4 his username and password existence in the database table for users,if it exist you direct him to the welcome page where he will have options of editing ,downloading,uploading,e.t.c
so when loading this page u put this authenticated username and password i the "session" object and make sure all ur pages are session enabled. now if thge user selects edit when loading the edit page u will use the user name in the session to get his correspondin record which will b from the database table of record in which the username should be foreignkey to now likewise u can do the same for the download ,upload,e.tc pages.
hope this helps ok.
please let me know if its not ok.
