RE: [PHP-WIN] authorization system

You won't need the quotes inside the mysql_connect, but you will need them around the variable values: // Should be // login to the database $mysql_host = 'www.site.net'; $mysql_user = 'username'; $mysql_pass = 'password'; $mylink = mysql_connect($mysql_host, $mysql_user, $mysql_pass) or die ("could not connect"); Haven't looked at much else in the code though. Are you getting any other errors other than the ones that these should fix? Let us know Regards Ross
