i am going to scream and just pogo a hot poker for messing this thing up... i have the database set to only allow 32 charactor email addresses, all of my email addresses were way longer.. so that was the problem all along... i am such a jack@$$... finally its all fixed though... Thank you everyone for your help, now to the psychologist for some real help...

There has to be something wrong with this section of code.... if (mysqli_num_rows($data) > 0) { // The log-in is OK so set the user ID and username session vars (and cookies), and redirect to the home page $row = mysqli_fetch_array($data); $_SESSION['user_id'] = $row['tb_user_id']; $_SESSION['email'] = $row['tb_user_email']; setcookie('user_id', $row['tb_user_id'], time() + (60 * 60 * 24 * 30)); // expires in 30 days setcookie('email', $row['tb_user_email'], time() + (60 * 60 * 24 * 30)); // expires in 30 days $home_url = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/scripts/' . 'index.php'; header('Location: ' . $home_url); anymore help would be so awsome.. i cant move forward untill i figure this out... and it has been a nightmare...
