Don't register the session % variable until your certain it matches. Or set a different session Well, that would be tricky; we actually register all of our session vars in a single include script (that does other setup) at the beginning. The answer was, logically enough, to simply unregister the session var when we see that it's incorrect. So the code changes to ... if ( $pw != "" ) { print "Invalid Password<br>\n" ; session_unregister('pw') ; } ... and we're happy. Now to implement that for a couple of other things on the site :-) % variable to control that the client has authenticated, such as % logged_in.
