Ok, i have been working on this problem in my spare time for the better part of a month now and can not figure it out so I am going to pose it to the group. I am trying to write an authentication script for a site I am building, it is going to be a database login script, which I will need the user to be redirected if the authentic fails. I however do not want to use the HEADER function. Does anyone know how i might be able to do this. David Weeks PHP Data object relational mapping generator http://www.metastorage.net/ Yahoo!
