    Hi

    I already managed to create some login code, but what I was trying was to set up an individual login, so that a different user gets a different site after login.

    This is the code I already use:

    login.php:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<style>
label 
{
width:25%; text-align:left; float:left; font-weight:bold;
}
.row
{
padding: 5px;
}
</style>
<body>

<form action="logincheck.php" method="post">
<div class="row"><label for="name">Login: </label><input type="text" name="login" size="15"></div>
<div class="row"><label for="password">Password: </label><input type="password" name="password" size="15"></div>
<div class="row"><input type="submit" value="Log in"></div>
</form>


</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    logincheck.php
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<?php
$login=$_POST['login'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$found=false;

$con = mysql_connect('localhost','login','pass');
mysql_select_db('vcdozies', $con);
$query = 'SELECT * FROM login WHERE login=addslashes($login)';
$result = mysql_query($query);
$row=$result;
$goal=''.$result['goal'];
if (strcmp($row['password'],$password)) 
	{
	echo (addslashes($goal));
	if(strcmp($row['login'],$login)) {echo ('<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url='.addslashes($goal).'">');$found=true;}
	}
echo ('
</head>

<body>');
if (!$found) {echo ('Invalid pass/username');}
mysql_close($con);
echo('</body>
</html>');
?>
    Code (markup):
    My MySQL db table login is a table with 4 fields (id,login,password and goal). But when I load the page ( http://vcdozies.phpnet.us/test/login.php
    and I give in the username (=laurens) - pass (=persoons) I get the refresh page, but in the refresh meta tag is no url filled in.
    What am I doing wrong?

    If you don't output the header information just yet, once you verify the login, you can use a Header redirect.

    I do understand my code is still primitive, but I think it's quite correct except the redirect function. And that link you gave, there's nothing in it of a custom redirect. I mean when I sign in, I get page x.php, when someone else signs in, he/she gets page y.php. That's what my goal is for this little project.
