    Hi all,

    Probably going to be something simple i am doing wrong here so your help is much appreciated.

    I trying to redirect a user to a page when they log in, the if statement used is this.

    if (isset($_POST["username"]))
    {
    if (($_POST["username"]=="myUser") && ($_POST["password"]=="myPassword")) // VALID LOGIN
    {
    $_SESSION["loggedIn"]=true;
    echo "<a href="test.php">Back to Homepage</a>";
    }
    else // INVALID LOGIN
    {
    echo "wrong username and password - click back to try again";
    }
    }
    else // NO USERNAME ENTERED
    {
    echo "username is blank - click back to try again";
    }
    ?>

    The part which is bold and underlined is the problem.

    I keep getting syntax errors, all i want to do is say if login is correct then give them a href link back to the main page.

    The file is called authenticate.php, is it a problem due to the fact it is a .php extention as the HTML part doesnt seem to being recongised.

    Please help.

    Thanks;)

    $page = "users/$user.html"; // replace with you page

    header("Location:$page");

    or, you could use a
    echo "<body onload=\"window.location='$page'\">";

    or

    echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"REFRESH\" CONTENT=\"0; URL=$page\">";

    or of course you could
    include("$page");


    ps I got from here

    echo "<a href="test.php">Back to Homepage</a>";

    to

    echo "<a href=\"test.php\">Back to Homepage</a>";

    EDIT: Too late...

    
if (isset($_POST["username"]))
{
	if (($_POST["username"]=="myUser") && ($_POST["password"]=="myPassword")) // VALID LOGIN
	{
		$_SESSION["loggedIn"]=true;
		echo "<a href=\"test.php\">Back to Homepage</a>";
	}
	else // INVALID LOGIN
	{
		echo "wrong username and password - click back to try again";
	}
}
else // NO USERNAME ENTERED
{
	echo "username is blank - click back to try again";
}
