Thanks for the reply, this is the only output before and after the $_POST.... array(0) { } ......that's it I still have the two Notice's from PHP. But the program works otherwise, in checking the DB for the hashed password... that matches the typed in username ... that is then hashed itself in the login.php program. It works and doesn't 'auth' for incorrect user/pass combinations. However, I do not like running programs that kick out 'errors' of any kind. It seems to always lead to unpredictable situations that are a problem. Any other ideas?
