Here is the code that starts and registers the session. It is login page
that logs in to itself so the form that produces $_POST["username"] is
actually on the same page, but nothing happens until the user logs in. It
there is something in this code that is not correct or making the other code
from the previous mssages not work please let me know. Thanks again for all
of the help.
<?
session_start();
$username = $_POST["username"];
$password = $_POST["password"];
if ($username && $password)
{
//user has just tried to login
$db_conn = mysql_connect("server", "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db("DB_name", $db_conn);
$query = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username'and
password='$password'";
$result = mysql_query($query, $db_conn);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) >0 )
{
//if they are in the db register the username
$valid_user2 = $username;
session_register("valid_user2");
}
}
?>
