Please see php script below. When I log in, the screen goes blank and on the same /login.php web page. If I enter a wrong password, it will tell me it is wrong, and I registered and activated the user/password successfully. It is just when I login in, it doesn't redirect to index.php (with an open session). It just goes blank. Please help!
