Your problem is inside this if() condition:

if($login_status != '' $login_status == 0)

Either you forgot to remove one of those expressions, or else you're missing an operator between them.

can you add a few full sentences to the description of the problem.

[jbando]

Dagon.... If I execute the program, I get username and password box and Login button. After providing those info which is set in mySQL DB, the program brings back to the combo box of username and password

[dagon]

my conclusion would be that status() is not returning what you expect so userid is not greater than 0, at least that's where would start debugging.

My guess is that either != or == is wrong and that both comparisons should be of the same type, most likely ==
