Re: login scripts not secure?? help!

hi, securepage.php?_SESSION[username]=admin&_SESSION[pwd]=password would not register 'username' and 'pwd' to the $_SESSION array but to the $_GET and $_REQUEST-Array like: $_GET['_SESSION']['username'] => 'admin' There is no way to inject any kind of data to the super-global Arrays at all Hope this helps, red Am Dienstag, 23.
