hey guys, i have been working on a simple form which validates if a
user is valid or not. i am a newbie and just want to deny unauthorised
access to a 'members' page. I wish to compare the password entered by
the user with that they entered into their submitted registration
form.. however i keep getting a mySQL error message 'query was empty'.
i was hope someone would know my failings! here is my code:
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect("sentinel.cs.cf.ac.uk","scm5sjc","my
password here");
$password=$_POST['password'];
mysql_select_db("sjcdb",$connection) or die("failed!");
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE password = '$password'");
$result = mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error());
$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
if ($rows){
if ($password == $row[9]){
header("Location:members.html");
}
else
{
header("Location:register.html");
exit;
}
}
mysql_close();
?>
