    Re: T string

    I think this is the error
    if ($num > 0) (
    //USER AND PASS ARE CORRECT
    $id = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
    It should be " { "

    Replace that part with this.
    Code:
    if ($num > 0) {
//USER AND PASS ARE CORRECT
$id = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
header("Location: main.php");
}


 else {
header ("Location: incorrect.php");
}
?>

    Re: T string

    • When posting code, use the [php], [html] or [code] tags (as appropriate) to separate the code from the rest of the post and format it.
    • Mark which lines are referred to in error messages. Even if posting doesn't alter the line count, we shouldn't have to pour over the code to find the appropriate lines.
    • Your script is vulnerable to SQL injection (see also "SQL Injection Walkthrough"). Instead of the outdated mysql driver, use PDO and prepared statements. Search the web for more information.
    • Don't store plain passwords. Passwords should be salted and hashed, giving each password its own salt.
    • Make sure you test for error conditions on any functions that might fail. With PDO, you can set the error mode to PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION and catch PDOExceptions. Make your error messages useful but not too revealing.
    • Don't use SELECT *.
    • Validate your HTML and fix the errors.
    • Don't use <font>, <center>, align=, bgcolor= or any other presentational element or attribute (except potentially the style attribute, and that only in very limited circumstances). Use CSS for presentation instead. Keep HTML semantic.
    • All elements should be closed (except <meta>, <link> and <base> in HTML 4 docs). For example, use "<br/>", not "<br>". Actually, you shouldn't be using <br/> at all the way you are (see previous point).
    • Add a doctype to your document.
    • Follow the instructions in my sig.
    • Lastly, but most importantly, file hosting breaks the terms of service. It will get your site shut down permanently (it's covered under "severe misuse of server resources"), with no chance to recover anything. Immediately download anything you don't want to lose, then remove the file hosting scripts.

    That tutorial has some error checking, but otherwise is full of bad practices, including SELECT *, or die, outputting mysql_error to visitors, SQL injection vulnerabilities... In short, avoid.

    Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.
