You need to put the following line *after* the recordset code:

$_SESSION['user_id'] = $row_login['user_id'];

You can bind session variables to the Bindings panel for drag-and-drop capabilities by clicking the + in the Bindings panel and selecting Session Variable. Type in the name of the session variable you created and it will place it in the Bindings panel just like recordset data or form data.

Anyone there.....

There is no "Dreamweaver style" for setting up a session variable. You
do it in exactly the same way as for any PHP page. Put this at the
beginning of the page:

session_start();

Retrieve the value that you want from the recordset and assign it to a
session variable like this:

$_SESSION['user_id'] = $row_recordsetName['user_id'];
