    I have read lots of articles about php sessions but i have a problem applying it to my login | logout | Register | My Profile tab.

    Can anyone clarify or explain to me php sessions in layman's term? Can anyone also give me codes that use php session in motion.

    Please i need to finish my code within a month. :(

    <?
session_start();

$do=$_GET["do"];

if($_POST)
	{
if($_POST["name"]=='admin' && $_POST["pass"]='pass')
{
$_SESSION["username"]='Admin';
}
	}

if($do=='logout')
	{
session_destroy();
unset($_SESSION["username"]);
