Code: <?php
include("connect1.php");

session_start(); // this is the session declaration , one per page.

$u = trim($_POST['username']);
$p = trim($_POST['password']);

$logoff = $_GET['logoff'];
$hack = $_GET['hack'];





if($logoff){


unset($_SESSION['userid']);

//session_destroy(); //commented out gets rid of the having to login twice.

$message = "You have been logged off";




}


if($hack){

$message = "Naughty Naughty!"; // COOL

}


// escape username and password for use in SQL
$u = mysql_real_escape_string($u);
$p = mysql_real_escape_string($p);


// if fields username and password have contents, then...
if($u && $p){

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE username = '$u' AND password = '$p'");

$result = mysql_fetch_array($query); //creates array called result,//notice we dont need a while loop here.

if($result['username']){

$message = "You have been logged in";

$_SESSION['userid'] = $result['username'];

header("Location:old.mainsite.php");
exit;


}else{

$message = "You do not exist on the system";

}



}
?>
