                echo "\nInvalid Password";
	 	}
       }
}
}

 

Try this:

{
           if ($row['pass'] == $_REQUEST['password'])
		{
		 header(location:tools.php)
    	 
		}

 

Also for other pages, for example if username wrong then rediect it to the login page.

Use the 'header' function:

 

header("Location: nameofpage.php");

 

This would go in your 'if' statement that is validating if the login was correct.

Yes that code will redirect the user after successful login mean that if

username and pass are correct.

U try it 1st.
