Thanks Mark.

I tried to adapt your code for my needs but something is misfiring and its
not allowing me into the page. I removed the session variable thing as I
have no need for them.

// the post with the user id
$scfchknum=$_POST['scfchknum'];

// the post with the user password
$scfchkpwd=$_POST['scfchkpwd'];

include("connect to datbase php segment");

// my table is called scfmforening,
scfmnum is the field name with the user id number
scfpwd1 is the field name with the password

So here I assign $user to the table data scfmnum is the same as the user id
given by user

$user = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM scfmforening WHERE scfmnum =
'$scfchknum'")or die(mysql_error());

// now the tricky bit that I dont really understand. It should check
password match.

while($info = mysql_fetch_array($user) ) {
if ($scfchkpwd != $info["scfpwd1"]) {
die('Wrong userid or password!');
session_destroy();
}
else {
echo "yes";
}
}

The page is not loaded correctly, roughly the sort of blank looking error as
when you omit a bracket or a semi colon.

Any ideas?
