That's because the only thing that you are saving is the user.

$_SESSION = array('User_Name'=>$_POST['User_Name']);
If you want both, save both into the array. I, personally, wouldn't recommend saving the password, as you should only need to check once, but it's up to you.



And it IS carrying the user name to the next page. It's in the $_SESSION array.

Lol, I understood you the first time.

Are you testing locally or remotely?

}

Why do you assign the array again on page 2? Are User_Name and Password POSTed again?
No they are not. Script #1 sets the session data, script #2 uses them.

Wow.. It's as though I stopped reading at session_regenerate_id(); (.. which I did :-p).
