Here is my authentication function: <?PHP

                           die('account disabled');
                }

        if($_SESSION['userInfo']['loggedin'] ==TRUE) {

            return TRUE;

    }

?> And what is happening is sometimes, even though the username & password match what is stored in the database, It only sets the loggedin value... Nothing else. Can anyone see where my error is?
