I would *NOT* use break; to get out of the successful login... Just move everything else inside the else{ } block if you don't want it to appear. After they *DO* login, perhaps use http://php.net/session_start so they can *stay* logged in. You'll need to move the password check (and database connection and so on) to be *ABOVE* all the HTML stuff -- to the very tip-top of the file. Then, to log them out, you can use the code from http://php.net/session_destroy For sure, don't send stuff through as ?_SERVER[username]=xxx $_SERVER is for the web server to fill in, not you. You'll just confuse yourself (next week/month/year) and any other programmer if you start polluting $_SERVER with your own stuff. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
