Hi,
I just found my mistake. I added some debug logic, and found that the
$_POST logic was in the calling form, not the called form. As soon as I
moved the "if(isset($_POST['userid']) && isset($_POST['pword'])){" to the
second form, everything started to work. Thanks to everyone who responded.

This statement doesnt look right to me.
if(isset($_POST['userid']) && isset($_POST['pword'])){
$_SESSION['user'] = $_POST['userid'];
$_SESSION['password'] = $_POST['pword'];
}
the if should be:
if ((statement)&&(statement))
{
}
so:
if ((isset($_POST['userid'])) && (isset($_POST['pword'])))
{
$_SESSION['user'] = $_POST['userid'];
$_SESSION['password'] = $_POST['pword'];
}
That should work.
