if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST']{

}
}
<?

spotted the missing ' yet?

oh and the ":" instead of ";"?

found a few problems with it lol !! including the ";" at password and the <? instead of ?> at the end lol but i dont see the ":" ... the only instance of that is at the header :S... i know i seem like a fool lol but this is my first attempt at a big(ish) script lol

**edit** haha never mind, right beside it!! ** how embarassed am i

$_POST['password;]:

PHP Code:

 <?php

$uname=$_POST['Username'];
$pass = $_POST['password'];

$uname = htmlspecialchars($uname);
$pass= htmlspecialchars($pass);

$username = "edited";
$password = "edited";
$database = "userlists";
$server = "msql7.000webhost.com";

$db_handle= mysql_select($server, $username, $password);
$db_found=($database, $db_handle;

if $db_found;
}
else {
 $error_message =" Error Logging On";
}

$uname = quote_smart($uname, $db_handle);
$pword = quote_smart($pass, $db_handle);

$SQL = "SELECT * FROM userlist WHERE username = $uname AND password = $pass";
  
$result = mysql_query($SQL) or die(mysql_error()); 

if($result){
}
else {
$error_message = "Error Logging On";
}
if ($result) {
            if ($num_rows > 0) {
                session_start();
                $_SESSION['login'] = "1";
                header ("Location: index.htm");
            }
            else {
else {
    $error_message="Invalid Login";
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['login'] = "";

    $error_message = "Invalid Logon";


if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST']{

}
}
?>
