I have these to independently working scripts. 1 is php, the other is javascript. For obvious reason, to separate logins are not appropriate. It has been recommended to make a separate function, not sure how to do this.... Common sense says, "carry the variable from php to javascripting". I am clueless on where to look on this common sense solution. I am 2.5 weeks into this madness. I know when I find the solution, it will be the one that was biting me on the nose. I want to learn and understand this, but desperately need help from friends! I will post the 2 complete code pages below.. Input, suggestion or solutions would truly be appreciated. The first will be the original code that is javascripting friendly. The second will be my own php working code. Number one works fine for loging into a FCKEditor application, but is failing with phpbb. Number two works perfectly with phpbb applications and outside php pages requiring phpbb related session controls, but fails sessions with the javascripting based FCKEditor.
