This is the code - which I placed within the body of html page.
<?php
// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("", "", "") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("") or die(mysql_error());

if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site']))

{
$username = $COOKIE['ID_my_site'];
$pass = $COOKIE['Key_my_site'];
$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pds_users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error());
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))
{
if ($pass != $info['password'])
{
}
else
{
header("Location: profile.php");
}
}
}
//if the login form is submitted
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // if form has been submitted
// makes sure they filled it in
if(!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass']) {
die('You did not fill in a required field.');
}
// checks it against the database
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$_POST['email'] = addslashes($_POST['email']);
}
$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pds_users WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."'")or die(mysql_error());
//Gives error if user dosen't exist
$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);
if ($check2 == 0) {
die('That username is invalid. <a href=register.php>Click Here to Register</a>');
}
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))
{
$POST['pass'] = stripslashes($POST['pass']);
$info['password'] = stripslashes($info['password']);
$POST['pass'] = md5($POST['pass']);
//gives error if the password is wrong
if ($_POST['pass'] != $info['password']) {
die('Incorrect password, please try again.');
}
else
{
// if login is ok then we add a cookie
$POST['username'] = stripslashes($POST['username']);
$hour = time() + 3600;
setcookie(ID_my_site, $POST['username'], $hour);
setcookie(Key_my_site, $POST['pass'], $hour);
//then redirect them to the members area
header("Location: profile.php");

}
