    Hello everyone,
    I've created a login page, where you enter your username and password, it checks the database and if it matches then you go to another page else you will get a Wrong username or password error.
    I've got three files
    login.php
    check_login.php
    login_success.php

    You enter username and password in login.php and it goes to check_login.php and validates it if it is correct you will go to login_success.php else you will get the error.
    I can't go directly to check_login.php because I will get error but if directly go to login_sucess.php I don't get the error, although here is the code I have in it.
    I'm supposed to get redirected to login.php but instead I see login successful.
    Here is the code I have in check_login.php

    That is not the full but it is for registering the sessions.
    Any info what do I do with this?

    Regards,

    Hi,

    I've just re-wrote it and tested it on PHP5 - This should work.

    
<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
       header("Location: login.php");
} else {
?>
<html>
      <body>
            Login Successful
      </body>
</html>
<?php } ?>
    Code (markup):
    There shouldn't be a need for session_start(); in the login check because if the user has logged in the session will already be set.

    You need the session_start or else the session is lost.

    Try this for login_success
    
<?php
session_start();
if (session_is_registered(username))
{
echo '<html><body>Login Successful!</html></body';
}
else
{
header("Location: login.php");
}
?>
    Code (markup):
