So you don't want to have anything that keeps them logged in right?

Try something like this

Your form

Code:

<form action="myfile.php" method="POST">
Username: <input type="text" name="username"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="password"><br>
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Login">
</form>

Code to process the form

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!empty($_POST['login'])

{

   // connect to the database or where ever you store the user and password

   // SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = '$_POST['username']' and password = '$_POST['password']'

   // of course you MUST escape all the data you receive from the client but this shoudl get you started

   // if the user is allowed to log in

   // redirect them

   header('Location: http://www.mysite.com/myfile.php');

   exit();

}
