User Auth and Redirecting back to same URL

[Cerebral_Cow]

Right now, I have a login form on my main page (ie. www.domain.com), but when the user logs in, the variables are sent to login_process.php and checked with the database.

Once verified and cookies are set, the user is now logged in, but they are still at login_process.php.

Does anyone know what I can add to the login_process.php script to make it so that the user is redirected back to the main page again (ie. www.domain.com), but this time the login form is replaced with a 'welcome $username' message?

Any help or links to how todo this are appreciated...thanks.

header("location: index.php");

Try that just change index.php to where you wish the user to be sent.

You also add a query string

login_process.php?from=index.php

// please note that not all web server supports this
header ("Location: " . $HTTP_GET_VARS[from] );
