I had this code working the way i wanted it to (as far as correct username and password allowing successful login)...but what i want to happen now is when a user successfully logs it it will make the login form disappear and just say successfully logged in or welcome user and a link below it so they can log off and make the form re-appear. Below is the code that i have where i tried to get it to disappear on successful login, but it stays disappeared all the time. Can someone please point out what im doing wrong. I have tried everything i can think of...and nothing works. Im a PHP newbie...so im sure some of you might get a laugh out of this...if it is real easy.
