Yes. You are correct. Did not include that part, sry. Dont forget mysql_real_escape_string. :) Karl On Apr 29, 2010, at 9:37 AM, Peter Lind wrote:

Hi, Maybe try... $benutzername = $_GET['username']; $pass = $_GET['password']; $result = "SELECT * FROM usertable WHERE sqlbenutzername='$benutzername'";
Don't use values from $_GET without sanitizing first. If using mysql_* functions, sanitize with mysql_real_escape_string() first.
while($r = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
       $dbbenutzer = $r["sqlbenutzername"];
       $dbpasswort = $r["sqlpasswort"];
}
      if($benutzername == $dbbenutzer && $pass == $dbpasswort){
This would work but only if you're storing passwords in the database in clear text - which is a Bad Thing and should be avoided. Hash the passwords before storing and compare with a hashed version, not the cleartext.
