Just as a very quick background: 
I was asked to make a front-end to a database for my bishopric to use
to keep track of information on students...  I decided to use PHP
because I prefer it to ASP, for reasons that you can probably all
guess... (php is inherently superior...)  However, I am having a very
unusual problem that I'm sure must be an error on my part, but I have
spent a number of hours working on it, and can't find it!

So, here's the problem:
I have a html page that simply asks for a username and password which
are then passed to a php page which checks for whether the username and
password are the same as in the database.  If it's the same, it
forwards the user along to "input.html" otherwise it passes them back
to "login.html".  Currently, the page is redirecting the user if they
have the password incorrect, but leaving them at a blank page if they
are "authorized"...  I tried setting all of the redirects to redirect
to the same page, to see if maybe it was just not liking the input.html
page, but it still wouldn't redirect if the if-statement was true.  I
also tried commenting out my "setCookie" statement, because I thought
that maybe that could be causing problems...  

In the hope that somebody might be able to see some mistake I'm making
(I'm still not exceptionally experienced with PHP), I'm attaching the
"checkLogin.php" file...  

Thank you so much!
