Re: Help with login please!
Next time just be sure you are using code tags.
Code: Select all
<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['logged']))
{
if(empty($_POST['username']) || empty($_POST['password']))
{
?>
<form>
</form>
<?php
}
else
{
// code to check if such user exists;
if(user_exists)
{
header("Location: main.php");
}
}
}
else
{
header("Location: main.php");
}
?>
Re: Help with login please!

Re: Help with login please!
It's because you can' do it yourself. It's just an example. People , sitting here won't read your code, written in that manner. If you feel that you can't do it yourself, just use scripts that already exists .
Re: Help with login please!
this is a script used already but tried to modify it into my script so I can use the design of my site while still welcoming the login user!!!
Re: Help with login please!
all sorted now was just a mishap with the name of the button!
