For user authentication, you have 2 options:
1. Use Cookies.
2. Use Sessions.
Cookies can be disabled on user computer and so sessions are a better 
way to handle user authentication.
Here, you need to call the user authentication function by passing the 
PHPSESSID from the same page which you call while getting the user id 
and password. Using the session variables, you can then 'echo' the 
needed details for the authenticated user.
