Well let's see now . . . HMMMM Yes, I'm ready for PHP, and Yes I've tried your brilliant idea (before you suggested it), and guess what??? That's why I'm asking a question . . . It DIDN'T work!!
How thoughful of you to be RUDE with a comment like that to a newbie.
Sorry to have bothered anyone but I found the cause of the problem, it was in the login_form.inc, there was a problem with the way I had it setup.
I re-wrote the login_file.inc and got it to work.
We all make mistakes!! So unless you NEVER make mistakes, please try to be kinder to newbies next time. We sometimes get fustrated and forget the little things that can cause problems. That's why were newbies.
