I'd have a function that checks to see if the user is logged in or not:

<?php
   function is_logged()
   {
       if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) { // user is signed in
          return true;
     }else{
       return false;
     }
   }
?>

And then for each page (Let's say Guitar) have this:

<?php

     if(is_logged())
     {
          // Display button for particular music thing
     }else{
        // display nothing 
     }
?>

Then you can re-use the same code over and over again and for each page, run the function :)

I don't get why you have two index pages? :S

If for example your index.php page contained the login form, and the index_log didn't contain the login form but contained "Hello {username}" then wouldn't it be easier to have one index file that did:

<?php

   if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) { // user is signed in
       // display "Hello username"
   }else{
     // displat the login form
   }
?>

and then just refresh to index.php? And if it's failed, just display a message?

It's unclear what you want to do...

<?php
session_start();

include "db_connect.php";
mysql_select_db($dbname, $connect);

$username = $_POST['username'];
$password  = $_POST['pass'];

$sql="SELECT username, password FROM alunos WHERE username='". $username. " AND password='".$password. "'";
$resultado = mysql_query($sql, $connect) or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_affected_rows() == 1)
{
       header("Location: index.php");
}else{
    header("Location: login_form.php");
}
mysql_close($con);
?>

What is "index_log.php"? Are you declaring your sessions/cookies in this file?

Hope this helps =)

to log out just unset variables you did set and destroy the session. I can see validation in JS, that is bad unless it there is of course another check in Server side.

Hello I do not want to seem to contradict you but I've always been taught that validation (client side) is a good way rather than doing it server side, this is because:

1) Reduces time : Why have something that has to wait for something (the server) when you can get an instant response?

2) What is the point of submitting data to the server, only to throw an error that certain information hasn't been submitted?

3) What if the server is down?

Hey, can you post what you have in your "My Documents.txt" file and, for future reference put your code in tags (Y)

Also, you wouldn't need 15 arrays, only one array that stores the values.. That's the point of an array! :)

Please could you post what you have so far please? Show us something we can work on, without having to guess what you're using!

Also, have a look into the LINQ library which could sort the DOB easier.

Hope this helps =)
