use PHP $_SESSION variable: set a variable in the session global array and use it by calling session_start() at the top of the script.

example test1.php

session_start();
$_SESSION['value'] = 'This variable was set on page test1.';
echo '<a href="test2.php">Session testing</a>';

test2.php

session_start();
echo $_SESSION['value'];

Ans is it possible to see your code? I don't know if I understand the current code.

But my guess is it has to look something like this:

<?PHP
//first part testing is user is loged in with realy existing username and pass
$user = $_GET["username"]; //or POST["username"]
$pass= $_GET["password"]; //or POST["password"]

//some code testing if username with this password exists in database or just pasword is = to something. And it it is, then:

$logedin = 1;
}
?>

...

//part where there is menu seen to all

...
<?php
if($logedin == "1"){
?>
//menu seen ju loged in ones

<?php
}
?>

I don't know what type of login autentification you use, so my code is not full.
I hope it did some good, if not, just add some cone of login and of nenu part.
if login and menu pahes are diferent you can use url for username and pas carying like
website/index.php?id=manupage&username=name&password=mypassword
or write something to cookies.
