Do you mean this is the right code :
The code overall looks right, but you set $Serial twice... first you do: $Serial = $_GET['Serial']; Then you do: $Serial = htmlspecialchars($row[0]); Then you set $UserSerial to $row[1] (the same as the Password column). So, when you compare $Serial to $UserSerial, you are really comparing it like this: if (htmlspecialchars($row[0]) == $row[1]) If that's what you're trying to do, then you're good. But, if you're trying to compare $UserSerial with the serial variable in $_GET, then you need to only do the following: $Serial = $_GET['Serial']; $UserSerial = $row[0]; if ($Serial == $UserSerial) Then, that should at least compare the serial field from the database with the serial variable in $_GET. -Ben
