Ok I think I am a little confused as to if this is working or not: I have
commented in the places where I am confused... if someone could please point
out why the variables "u_name & p_word" are not being registered that would
help me out a ton... thanks in advance,
Jas
--- Form to log user in ---
<form name="auth" method="post" action="auth_done.php">
<input type="text" name="u_name"><br>
<input type="password" name="p_word"><br>
<input type="submit" name="login" value="login">
</form>
--- checks db to see if user exists ---
<?php
if ((!$u_name) || (!$p_word)) {
header ("Location: index.php");
exit;
}
$db_name = "bignicke";
$table_name = "auth_users";
$connection = @mysql_connect("localhost","user","password") or die("Could
not connect to Database, please try again later");
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die("Could not select
Database, please try again later");
$sql = "SELECT * from $table_name WHERE un = \"$u_name\" AND pw =
password(\"$p_word\")";
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die("Couldn't execute query");
$num = mysql_numrows($result);
if ($num !=0) {
$msg = "<p class=\"content\">You have been authorized to make changes to
the web site.</p>";
session_start();
#session_register(u_name); //cant tell if this has been registered with a
print statement
#session_register(p_word); //can't tell if this is either
$_session['u_name'] = $u_name; //this must be wrong too
$_session['p_word'] = $p_word; //still wont register session variables
} else {
header ('Location: index.php');
exit;
}
?>

echo $msg;
print (SESSION_ID()); // the session is working right here
print ($_SESSION['u_name']); // this will not print the registered variable

variable either

success?
