Hey guys,This is a simple issue I'm sure, however I'm having one hell of a time seeing my way clear of it. I appreciate any support you guys could throw my way. So I'm trying to set up a small website that includes a store ( www.rareintaglio.com), i have all of my HTML hammed out and now I'm working on creating an admin login for the sites owner to input data from a back end. I have it set up so that he goes to /adminlogin.php, enters his info and gains access to the back end of the website using Session variables (valid vs. invalid) however i keep getting this reply when i try to run the script: Results: SELECT * FROM adminlog WHARE username = 'gourmet28e' AND password = '*******' Query failed: Query was empty here's the /adminlogin script: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <?php session_start ; ?> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="intaglio.css" /> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> </head> <body><center> <div id="body"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="navbody"> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li><a href="/index.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/shop.html">Store</a></li> <li><a href="/about.html">About</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="cbody"> <?php if ($_SESSION['user'] == invalid) { echo 'Invalid Username or Password, please try again'; } if ($_SESSION['user'] == valid) { header ("Location: http://www.rareintaglio.com/member.php"); } ?> <form method="post" action="/session.php"> <table border="0"> <tr><td>Admin Name: </td></tr> <tr><td><input type="text" name="username" size="30" maxlength="20"/> </td></tr> <tr><td>Password:</td></tr> <tr><td><input type="password" name="password" size="30" maxlength="20"/> </td></tr> <tr><td><input type="submit" value="Login" /> </td></tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer"><p>All Pages and Images Copyright @ 2009, Devour.tv Ltd. All Rights Reserved</p></div> </body> </html> and /session.php goes a little like: <?php $host="Rareintag.db.4159106.hostedresource.com"; // Host name $username="Rareintag"; // Mysql username $password="**********"; // Mysql password $db_name="Rareintag"; // Database name $tbl_name="adminlog"; // Table name // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); // username and password sent from form $username=$_POST['username']; $password=$_POST['password']; $qury = "SELECT * FROM adminlog WHARE username = '$username' AND password = '$password'"; echo '<br />'; echo "Query: " . $query; echo '<br />'; echo "Results: " . $result; echo $qury; echo '<br />'; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error()); if($result == 0){ $_SESSION['user'] = invalid ; header("Location: http://www.rareintaglio.com/adminlogin.php"); } else { $_SESSION['user'] = valid ; header("Location: http://www.rareintaglio.com/members.php"); } ?> However as I mentioned above i keep getting an error, does anyone know where I took a wrong turn? Thanks, Watson
