Hi akacj,

Take a look at header functions. Just make sure you don`t output anything before the header redirect. (even a simple space)

Thanks,
Best regards,
Niroshan

akacj

can you elaborate more please, cause I still cant get it to work

niroshan

Hi akacj,

Its not that hard as you think. Here`s some sample code to get you started,

$sql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE username = '".mysql_escape_string($_POST['email'])."' AND password = '".md5($_POST['pass'])."'";
$row = mysql_query($sql);
if(mysql_num_rows($row) > 0)
{
	//register session

//redirect user to member page
header("Location: member.php");
}
else
     //Error invalid user name or password

P.S: this is just an sample code please make sure to do the necessary changes as according to your application.

since your validation all the inputs in form_process.php page make sure to have this code on top of that page.

Hope this clear your doubts,

Best regards,
Niroshan

Thank you , Thank you, Thank you For helping me. I figured out that Form_Process.php already had the code there so i just had to type the address i wanted it to redirect to.
