If you've set error reporting to maximum (error_reporting = E_ALL) and you're still not getting any errors then it must be some faulty logic in your code. > I going to copy my login.php and admin.inc.php code hoping that someone > could help my and point out what am I over looking.

Rather than debug your code for you, here are a couple of pointers: 1) Bypass the login page, hardcode the login details and see whether that gets you logged in. 2) Use print_r() on your major variables in strategic places in your code to see what's happening to them as they pass through your code. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* "Wish not to seem, but to be, the best." -- Aeschylus */
