Error Handling & Update

[baffled_in_UK]

Hi,

I am having a little difficulty in understanding why the following happens :

I have a login form that is validated via php , an error displays if the login details are invalid. If they are valid a small MySQL update take place.

If the login is successful first time the update is ok, if the login is successful on second or more tries the update doesn't happen.

The structure of the code is (don't worry about the syntax)...

..... HTML header

<$php

if submit

check login details

if ok

      update

else

     echo error

endif

else

?>

.... HTML table & form

<?php

endif

$>

Is this wrong ? Any pointers would be appreciated.

If you dont include the code then no-one will be able to understand. The logic is fine but that is not where your problem is. Unless of course you actually used '<$' tags in your script, presumably you didn't!!
