ok so it does create the cookie but the second part does not work <?php if(isset($_COOKIE['username'])) { echo "Welcome " . $_COOKIE["username"] . "!<br />"; } else include("../include/login-form.php"); ?> BTW THX

OK Awsome, as a noob please bare with me!!!! I have successfully created and displayed the name that i choose but now another issue how do i go about creating the cookie with the username??

True but i dont want the users to automaticly log in the next time they visit the site! , so sessions i think are the way for me to go since the user must login in order to view content its just cookie get saved and session i think your right on this are destroyed wich is what im looking for! But i guess if somone know how to edit my code for cookies also that would be cool too lol

Ok so here is my delema... i would to create a session with user name call 'userlog' so that if the client is logged in it will display a welcome back 'BOB' instead of the login form here is the login(i know its probable wrong but hey im new at this!. <?php session_start(); if(isset($_SESSION['$userlog'])) echo 'Weclome back', '$username'; else include("includes/login-mod.php"); ?> and here is the checklogin script (the one were i need to create a session! <?php $host="localhost"; // Host name $username="root"; // Mysql username $password=""; // Mysql password $db_name="rigid gaming"; // Database name $tbl_name="users"; // Table name // Connect to server and select database. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); // username and password sent from form $username=$_POST['username']; $password=$_POST['password']; // To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection) $username = stripslashes($username); $password = stripslashes($password); $username = mysql_real_escape_string($username); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($password); $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$username' and password='$password'"; $result=mysql_query($sql); // Mysql_num_row is counting table row $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // If result matched $username and $password, table row must be 1 row if($count==1){ // Register $username, $password and redirect to file "success.php" session_register("username"); session_register("password"); header("location:../success.php?success==0"); } else { header("location:../success.php?success==1"); } ?> Any help would be greatly apreciated !!!!!!

Ive set it but i think it still needed to be set in the <?php if(isset($_GET['success']) && $_GET['success'] == "1") { echo "Thank you for registering, Your browser will soon be redirected our home page!"; } else { include("../includes/RegistrationForm.php"); } ?> In order for it to be defined stince im its being set from another page! either way weve tested it and its the perfect solution! Thanks again
