Re: $_POST["mypassword"]; ***Undefined index: mypassword

Okay, now with the isset and var_dump in place within the login.php script, I get the output of what I typed into the Log On page. All this output is 'premeal' for the login.php script. So then the PHP "Notice's" are just something to know the PHP parser is seeing a empty, undescriptive container and is throwing a "hey, look at this it may not be normal" when the login.php script is run by itself in the browser. You are thinking its not a problem and will not lead to any problems. If this is the case then thankyou Dimiter.
