Forms: pass varible to another page

[Anon]

I am creating a login page using php mysql.

I have a form with username and password fields. When it is submitted it POSTs for another page that authenticates the user.

On the second page, do I use form.username and form.password to get the varibles from the form? I have no clue.

Anyone have a example php/mysql login script that does this?

Thanks
bill

You might want to begin by reading the manual page entitled "variables from outside PHP" for an introduction to how PHP processes form input. Also read the release notes for your version of PHP, since the default behavior has been changed in recent releases for security reasons.
