PHP Automatic Refresh or Redirect?

[gtrufitt]

Hi, I am using STRCMP to check whether a user's entered password on a login page is the same case as in the database, and then using an if statement to set the session variables if its the same, however, even though it means that the user is not technically logged in, it still shows the first login page immediately. I guess i need to refresh the page when the passwords are not the same so that it see the session variable is not set and just shows the login box again, how would i do this? Here is my code so far:

 

$passwordcmp is the password from the database and $password is the POSTed variable from the login form.

 

if (STRCMP ($passwordcmp, $password) == 0) {

$_SESSION['sesid'] = $id;
}
else
{


}

 

Thanks,
