        }

}
}
}
?>

I don't see any code that tests for your admin login. You may have to add code to do that. It should be about line 20 from what I see with another if (admin) do the admin thing else what is on line 20.

In parting it appears you are breaking some basic security concepts as well. Never store user passwords in the clear. There are many tutorials and articles about this so no need for me to do more than note it now. Often folk learn to do these logins incorrectly and are doomed to create leaky and bad login systems for decades.

Hi,
An old thread, but might help someone who needs it.
You can detect any level of access by getting their username.

<?php
// Let's assume that you have set your database connection @ $conn OBJECT.
// you might wanna use token keys to secure the access.
$username = isset($_POST['username']) && ! empty($_POST['username']) ? filter_var($_POST['username'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) : NULL;
$tables = array('admin', 'guest');
if ($username) {
    try {
        foreach($tables as $table) {
            $stmt = $conn->prepare("
                SELECT * FROM `$table` WHERE username = :username
            ");
            $stmt->execute(["username" => $username ]);
            if ($user = $stmt->fetch()) {
                $stmt = NULL;
                if ( ! password_verify($password, $user['password'])) throw new PDOException("invalid password", 0); 
                // ... the rest of your code
                continue;
            } $stmt = NULL;
        } throw new PDOException("no found user", 0);
    } catch(PDOException $e) {

        echo $e->getMessage();
        exit;

    }
} exit;

Your code has users across two tables for some reason. Not the way to do it. Also, there is nothing in the code to differentiate between admin and guest, even though you have a loop.

Hi,
i totally understand how your point goes and based on what herminia wanted to happen. And pressumed that both tables have identical columns. as you can identify each user with a token.

    if(isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password']) ){
     $username=$_POST['username'];
     $password=$_POST['password'];
    $sql5 = "select * FROM users where username='$username' AND password='$password'";
    $stat5 = $conn->prepare($sql5);
$stat5->execute();

$type=$row5['type'];
    if($row5 = $stat5->fetch())
{   
$type=$row5['type'];
        if($type=='admin')
        {

        header("Location:admin2.php");

    }
    else
    {

    header("Location:admin2.php");
        }
    }
