I'm sorry but I must be missing something fundamental here. This is how my code looks,
and if the
SQL query yields nothing and emits no error (as it currently is) it simply reverts to
error.php:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $table_users WHERE usrName='$username' AND
usrPswd=password('$password') AND affil_team RLIKE '$team+'";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
//User hasn't been found in DB with current details:
if ($num == 0) {
header("Location: error.php?err=n_player);
exit;
}
else {
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
etc etc
Cheers again:
Russ
