    <p>So I put together a very crude login form using php and a mysql database, and I have it set (or so I think) to redirect back to the login page with a "loginFailed=true&amp;reason=password"". I'm trying to just have it redirect back to the login, and display an incorrect password message, but instead it just redirects to the main index page.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong here? Granted I borrowed heavily from some pre-existing code due to my lack of coding-knowledge, but it did work as intended for a bit before redirecting.</p> <p>Here is the code:</p> <p>passwordcheck.php</p> <pre><code>// 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 $password=$_POST['password']; // To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection) $password = stripslashes($password); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($password); $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE password='$password'"; $result=mysql_query($sql); // Mysql_num_row is counting table row $count=mysql_num_rows($result); // If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row if($count==1){ // Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php" session_register("password"); header("location:admin.html"); } else { die(header("location:login.html?loginFailed=true&amp;reason=password")); } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here is the password field in the login page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;span class="add-on"&gt;&lt;i class="icon-list-alt"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input type="password" id="inputIcon" class="span4" name='password' id='password' maxlength="50" placeholder="&lt;?php $reasons = array("password" =&gt; "Yo shitbird, wrong password."); if ($_GET["loginFailed"]) echo $reasons[$_GET["reason"]]; ?&gt;" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COSo there's no username field, just a password? That means every user will need a unique password; that could work if you are generating the passwords for them but it would be better to have a username too.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
