Hello, im a new user here. Im now working on a project called student attendance management sytem. I have doing all the necessary tables in database which is  admin, lecturer, student, parent, attendance and grade. Ok so im now working on a 1st page which is a login page.
 
Right now i have finished the coding and what im gonna ask u all is how to make sure that when i clicked 'login', it not only detect the admin table but all of other tables?

<html>
	<head>
		<title> Login Form </title>
	</head>

<body>
<form method='post' action='login.php'>
	<table width='400' border='5' align='center'>
	<tr>
		<td align='center'
		colspan='5'><h1>Login Form</h1></td>
	</tr>
	
	<tr>
		<td align='center'>Username:</td>
		<td><input type='text' name='username' /></td>
	</tr>
	
	<tr>
		<td align='center'>Password:</td>
		<td><input type='password' name='pass' /></td>
	</tr>
	
	<tr>
		<td colspan='5' align='center'><input type='submit' name='login' value='Log In' /></td>
	</tr>
	
	</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("student_attendance");

if(isset($_POST['login'])){

	$username = $_POST['username'];
	$password = $_POST['pass'];
	
	$check_user = "select * from admin where username='$username' AND pass='$password'";
	
	$run = mysql_query($check_user);
	
	if(mysql_num_rows($run)>0){
	
	echo
	"<script>alert('You are logged in')</script>";
	}
	else {
	echo "<script>alert('username or password is incorrect!')</script>";
	}
}

?>

ok, just to make sure no problem will arise later bcoz of the tables. So, right now these are my initial tables.

If i delete those 4 users table and create a new one called users ( id, name, username, password, type_of_user), then wouldn't it be a problem later when : -

 

- the admin wanna asign course_id for the added lecturer

- the lecturer enter his/her course_id and the whole students in that course can be viewed

you also don't need a user type dropdown on your login page, since you will know which type the user is when you authenticate them against this single user table that contains the type_of_user column.

 

the only place you would need a user type dropdown is you are allowing an administrator to assign a user type to other user(s).
