Then I add an if statement at the top that checks the login and redirects you to another page if login is successful. I think you might want to give a name to your submit button as well, something easy like name='submit'. Then something like this at the top of the page: if (isset($_POST["submit"])) { ...get user's password from database... if ($_POST["password"] == $db["password"]) { header("Location:members/index.php"); exit; } } So if the login fails, they'll still be sitting at the login page. The above code needs to be set before any HTML code, else the redirect won't work. http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php --Matthew Sims --<http://killermookie.org>
