i have changed the code to: //register the session variables $_SESSION['ses_name'] = mysql_result($result, 0, "User_Name"); $_SESSION['ses_pass'] = mysql_result($result, 0, "User_Password"); $_SESSION['ses_level'] = mysql_result($result, 0, "User_Type");
but if i try to log in again the session variables don't change, any ideas?
