Here's my scenario:



I have the user log in with their i5 user id/password with a PHP script.



I then take the user to a new page, and I have them enter a search string.
I take that search string and I pass it to an RPG program using
i5_Program_Call. Now...as you know, the i5_Program_Call requires the user
to log in first, that is, the php page needs to establish a connection to
the server before doing a i5_program_call.



But in this case, the user logged in on a previous php page which, since
this is basically all stateless, the iSeries and the PHP server know nothing
about.



I do not want to force the user to log in again on this page to do their
search, and I don't want to store that user ID and password in the PHP
script either. So how can I accomplish this?



What does the rest of the community do to reuse the id and password with PHP
like this?
