I created this script: [code] <?php session_start(); include "/location/conn.inc.php"; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $query = "SELECT username, password FROM user_info " . "WHERE username = '" . $_POST['username'] . "' " . "AND password = (PASSWORD('" . $_POST['password'] . "'))"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) { $_SESSION['user_logged'] = $_POST['username']; $_SESSION['user_password'] = $_POST['password']; header ("Refresh: 5; URL=" . $_POST['redirect'] . ""); echo "You are being redirected to your original page request!<br>"; echo "(If your browser doesn't support this, " . "<a href=\"" . $_POST['redirect']. "\">click here</a>)"; } else { ?> <html> <head> <title>Dropkicklove - Wrong Username/Password</title> </head> <body> <p> Invalid Username and/or Password<br> Not registered? <a href="register.php">Click here</a> to register.<br> <form action="user_login.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="<?php echo $_POST['redirect']; ?>"> Username: <input type="text" name="username"><br> Password: <input type="password" name="password"><br><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login"> </form> </p> </body> </html> <?php } } else { if (isset($_GET['redirect'])) { $redirect = $_GET['redirect']; } else { $redirect = "index.php"; } ?> <html> <head> <title>Dropkicklove - Login</title> </head> <body> <p> Login below by supplying your username/password...<br> Or <a href="register.php">click here</a> to register.<br><br> <form action="user_login.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="<?php echo $redirect; ?>"> Username: <input type="text" name="username"><br> Password: <input type="password" name="password"><br><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login"> </form> </p> </body> </html> <?php } ?> [/code] This is a login script. and it was working fine for ages, but then i didnt test it for a little while and it doesnt work, and neither does the admin login either. however i have created a new user and tried loggin in with that and it works fine. does anybody have a remedy for my situation?? please help!
