Can someone tell what I'm doing wrong? I get an error at the session_start and
it doesn't
register the user name in a cookie.
Thanks,
Jer
session_start();
if ($userid && $password)
{
// if the user has just tried to log in
mysql_connect('localhost', 'xx', 'xx');
mysql_select_db('xx');
$query = "SELECT * FROM users
WHERE username = '$userid' AND password = '$password'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
if (0<>$rows)
{
// if they are in the database register the user id
while ($name = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$valid_user = $name["username"];
session_register("$valid_user");
print '<span class="header">Welcome back,
'.$name["username"].'!</span>';
}
}
else
{
print '<span class="header">You could not be logged in. Please try again or
register.</
span>';
}
}
