Code: Select all

<?php 
session_start();
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if($username="outsider" && $password=="admin"){
  $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
  $_SESSION['password'] = $password;
  echo "Welcome " . $username;
}
else {
  echo "Incorrect Username/Password combination.";
}
?>

outsider if you check here again, please change this line:

Code: Select all

if($username="outsider" && $password=="admin"){
to this:

Code: Select all

if($username=="outsider" && $password=="admin"){
I forgot 1 equals sign. It's no big deal since it's only the username (and what good is a username without a password?) but if you were to make it dynamic, it would check the results against the password for 'outsider'.
