Hello pipo Iam pretty new at php.I implemented a log in page as shown below:
<?php
session_start();
include("./connect.php");
// start the session
$errorMessage = '';
if (isset($_POST) && isset($_POST)) {
//---------------------------------------------------------------
if (isset($_POST)) { // if form has been submitted
//check out the fields
if (isset($_POST) || isset($_POST)) {
// check for required values
if (empty($_POST)) {
die("ERROR: Please enter the username!");
}
if (empty($_POST)) {
die("ERROR: Please enter password!");
}
}
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------
$result = mysql_query("SELECT Username, Password FROM members WHERE Username ='$_POST[txtUsername]' AND Password = '$_POST[txtPassword]'",$dbc);
// check if the specified username and password has been found
if (mysql_affected_rows() ==1) {
// set the session
$_SESSION = true;
// after login we move to the main page
$loginpage="enterlottery.html";
?>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript">
