now i want to make this page remember the user

if he come agine :lol:


can you help me ?????????? :rolleyes:

this is a job for cookies and session handling...and someone else. cuz i still havnt taken the time to learn those things cuz im lazy and schools starting back up.

For starters your code is a mess and you are seriously overusing the usage of PHP, ok i agree PHP is great and on this small a scale it wouldn't do much, but if your going to go into bigger scale projects and you overuse PHP like this you could crash your server, here is your code a little more user and server friendly... :cheesy:

<html dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />
<title>User name</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- welcome text -->
<marquee width="40%" scrollamount="3">
<?php
echo '<b>Hi '.$T1.'</b>';
?>
</marquee>
<!--/welcome text-->
<!--table head-->
<div align="left">
<table border="1" width="40%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-style: solid" bordercolor="#000000">
<!--/table head->
<!--main table-->
<tr><td><form method=POST" action="<?php echo($PHP_SELF); ?>">
<br />
<p align="left">User name : <input type="text" name="T1" size="20" /></p>
<p align="left">Password : <input type="password" name="T2" size="20" /></p>
<p align="left">&nbsp;Remember me
<input type="checkbox" name="C1" value="ON" /></p>
<p align="left"><input type="submit" value="GO" name="B1" /></p>
</form></td></tr>
<!--/main table-->
</table></div>
</body>
</html>

Now you say you want to remember the user when they login, well you would need to use eitheer sessions or cookies for this...or a combination of the both, look into:

Sessions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-destroy.php (to logout)

Cookies:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php

I hope this has helped you....
