I am having the following errors after running this code for my login.

**Notice: Undefined index: user_name in C:\xampp\htdocs\fyp\cms\cms.php on line 52

Notice: Undefined index: user_id in C:\xampp\htdocs\fyp\cms\cms.php on line 54\

I don't think you want to close the session in login.php using the call to session_close_write. Also, your session setting is commented out, you will need to set each $_SESSION variable before calling cms.php.

Just a side note on your SQL, you should consider looking into parameterised queries. Your code as written is prone to SQL injection attacks because you pass through your $_SESSION or $_POST variables without parsing them.

I've noticed on your codes, why are you still using mysql_? I have not seen this for a while. Use either PDO or MySQLI. mysql_ has already been abandoned and the authors have not intension of any future upgrade.

Lines 62-64 in login.php don't appear to be doing anything. Can you print the values of the $something variable via var_dump after line 64 and check what is going on?

It's been a while since I used mysql, but I think the while loop should be

while (($something = mysql_fetch_array($result)) !== FALSE)
