What type of message do you receive, if any. In your if / else statements, try adding simple echo's to determine where the script is stopping.

Code: Select all

<?php
if ( $LoginRS['time'] > 0 )
{
 echo 'Successfully logged in';
#header("Location: " . $MM_redirectLoginSuccess );
}
else
{
 echo 'Login failed';
#header("Location: ". $MM_redirectLoginFailed );
} 
?>
mysql_num_rows() is used in the script so use the results returned.

Code: Select all

<?php
$loginFoundUser = mysql_num_rows($LoginRS);
if ($loginFoundUser == 1)
{
 // process user
}
else
{
 // process user
}
?>
Lastly, use the php code button for any php code pasted
