From my own little knowledge. I think you can save a user's username in session at the point of login, which can then be used to track him down through the protected pages.

You are trying to conflate two different ideas.

First there is authentication. This is the login.
Then there is authorization. This is a matter of if they have permission to see something.

Authentication - make em login, track em.
Authorization - for anyone that access a resource, have them provide their identify and see if they have access.

This is very basic. The fact that you are asking this is telling, you should not try to solve this yourself. I suggest you learn a framework that has already solved all this, and just use it. I recommend laravel. It has a simple learning curve.

Create function with this
function islogin(){
if($_SESSION[user]){
return true;
}
else {
return false;
}

In your login page session the Username and use header to sent the user to the account, after then Fetch the user information

Simply create a user_type field in your dB table, which you use to determine authorization for the user. (once authentication is successful)
