Code:

<form method="post" action="login.php">
Username field here...
Password field here...
</form>

then in login.php....
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/300814-php-and-mysql-login-script-help.html

PHP Code:

  <?php

 
//Start the session variable.

session_start();

//Put that line at the very top of every file

//that you need to be logged in for, or 

//uses session vars.

 
if (!$_POST['username_textbox_name_here'] || !$_POST['password_textbox_name_here'])

{

echo("ERROR > Please type a username and password");

exit;

}

/*

At this point, you want to verify the login information

against stored data. This could be hard-coded here if

you have 1 or 2 permanent users, or checked with a database.

If you need help there are examples around the Internet.

*/

 
//If the login is good, then set the session variable

$_SESSION['loginname'] = $uname;

//...or something to that extent.

 
//To check the login, make sure the session var is set

//to a good value.

?>

If you need details or further examples, the Internet has this all *over* the place. If you have a question, go ahead and reply/ask.
