I needed to make a login thing for a project I'm doing and I found you Admin Section tut while searching for appropriate stuff...anyway, I tried it, made the .php pages, the database and everything but I have two problems.



if the login information is incorrect, the browser takes me to a blank page with that URL in the address bar. shouldn't it display the error message we set in the page with the login form?

The other, much bigger problem is because of my lack of php/mysql knowledge, I think. What are the passwords that let me log in, and how can I change/set them? Are they set when we created the table 'login', or do we set them ourselves somehow, later?

You have to add the username and password yourself. I left it blank so users could maybe add encryption to the form if they wanted to.

Correct, when error is set you should be taken back to the forum with;



Is that not whats happening? Or is it because no users exist in the database at the moment?

I must admit, but it's not the most advanced of codes. I should really write a more updated version.

but how do I add a username and password?
I just need two logins at the moment....

problem solved. I inserted usernames and passords into 'login' and it worked. thanks for the script and the help joe

If you'd like to add encryption aswell I can help you get that set up.

Glad you got it working

encryption?
