Re: Login system using PHP/MySql

you could try the phplib libraries (which as well as authentication implement other things such as database abstraction and templates) There is some overhead involved in getting up to speed with phplib but there is a lot of help out there (in the form of articles, email list etc..) I found phplib very, very valuable to get me started on my first php application (principally using it for the authentication) but have since preferred to write my own authentication code. Going it alone with the authentication does, as you allude to below, involve getting a good handle on sessions. To this and other related ends I would thoroughly recommend the 2 books 'Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL' and 'Programming PHP' (both O'Reilly titles). Of course a lot of info is out here on the web, but these books are particularly well written, comprehensive and very handy sitting there on the desk while you work. Sorry - not the quick fix solution you request but one that'll help in the longer term.
