Re: function login

Define how index.php "calls" the login.php file. I assume you mean index.php include() login.php, which has include() on config.php? If so, be sure that the path to config.php as included in login.php is right. Use the fully qualified path to ensure it works right. Other than that, as long as the function declaration comes before you make a call to the function (I remember someone saying that if a function is declared in an included file it must do so before calling that function). Then again, it would give you an error if that was the problem.... ...hm, I don't then see what the problem is. I don't believe what you've showed so far is the reason. My bet is that you're getting a message that you aren't logged on because you really aren't logged on. Something is happening so that...AHA! I just think I found the problem. In your function you are using two variables, $pass and $username which are not declared as global in your function. Add this line at the top of your function: global $pass, $username; See if that fixes it.
