//$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and //password='$mypassword'";
//$result=mysql_query($sql);
$sql=("SELECT user_type FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword' and user_type ='$myusertype'");
//$result2=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result2);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1 ){
Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
session_register("myusertype");
header("location:login_success.php");

How do you differentiate whether a user is an admin or a staff member or a student ?

I have different pages already for them and i put on my main login form for them to type in if they are a staff, student or admin.
This is my main_login.php and login_success.php
<BODY BGCOLOR="Teal">
<table width="900" border="20" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="6" bgcolor="BLACK">
<tr>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="30" cellspacing="5" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><strong>Member Login </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="10">Username</td>
<td width="10">:</td>
<td width="600"><input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="mypassword" type="text" id="mypassword"></td>
<tr>
<td width="10">Usertype</td>
<td width="10">:</td>
<td width="600"><input name="myusertype" type="text" id="myusertype"></td>
</tr>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"></td>
</tr>
</BODY>
</table>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>
login_success.php
<?
// Check if session is not registered , redirect back to main page.
// Put this code in first line of web page.
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(myusername)){
header("location:http://www.yahoo.com");
}
else {
header("location:admin/index.php");
}
?>
<html>
<body>
Login Successful
</body>
</html>

Well, then depending upon the input of the user, you can redirect him to relative page. According to you, the user enters the usertype in the textbox myusertype. When the user submits the page, get the value of myusertype.
$usertype=$_POST['myusertype'];
if($usertype=="student"){
//redirect to student page
} else if ($usertype=="admin") {
//redirect to admin page
} else if($usertype=="staff"){
//redirect to staff page
} else { // none of these 3 users
//redirect to error page
}

Where are you validating the login ? When the user enters his username and password, where are you checking if he's a valid user ?

Because, i have in put the user type, username and password in my database already. So because this is just something that will work on my laptop i only have about 6 users. 2 students, 2 staffs and 2 admin. Is that what you are asking for?

You don't need a login_success.php page. Instead of redirecting to login_success.php page, redirect directly to admin/student/staff page ! This would be your new checklogin.php
<?php
ob_start();
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username=""; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name="pa"; // Database name
$tbl_name="user"; // Table name
// Get info from the session
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// Define $myusername and $mypassword and $myusertype
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
$myusertype=$_POST['myusertype'];
//$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and //password='$mypassword'";
//$result=mysql_query($sql);
$sql=("SELECT user_type FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword' and user_type ='$myusertype'");
//$result2=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
//$count=mysql_num_rows($result2);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1 ) {
//Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
session_register("myusertype");
if($myusertype=="admin") {
header("location: admin/index.php");
} else if($myusertype=="staff"){
header("location: staff/index.php");
} else if($myusertype=="student"){
header("location: student/index.php");
} else {
echo "Wrong usertype";
exit;
}
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
//ob_end_flush();
?>
Try this.

If this doesn't work, I dont think I can help you with this.
