 * I am using wordpress theme P2.
 * I have it setup where you have to login (using wp-login.php) before they enter
   the site.
 * I am fairly new to PHP and trying to get it to work with some other database 
   pages that I have created.
 * What I am searching for or trying to figure out is how wordpress on wp-login.
   php stores the user’s information once logged in. I am assuming it has to create
   a string with the “id”.
 * Is this done using cookies or sessions? I don’t see the line that this is in!
 * If what I am asking for is not clear please let me know!
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Still looking for help!
 * I have googled this and can’t seem to find an answer.
 * I thought doing a custom page template would solve this problem but it doesn’t
   seem that the P2 theme lets you do a custom page templete??
 * I am trying to have some custom pages that have other features other then what
   WordPress can offer.
 * The problem is that this is a protected site so it has a login page so I need
   wordpress and my custom pages to interact together so they don’t have to login
   twice. I can’t seem to find out how to get the user id from wordpress’s login
   page!
 * Anybody have any ideas on how I can go about this!
 * If you need any other information please let me know!
 * Thanks for the help!
