Change:

Code: Select all

$query = "select name, password from players where name='$player' and '$password'";

to:

Code: Select all

$query = "select name, password from players where name='$player' and password='$password'";

See if that helps

Sorry ! It did not

[OldRod]

Code: Select all

$playaer=strip_tags($player);

player is spelled wrong

[Syppii]

That did not do it. Please can I have more help!!!

[OldRod]

Code: Select all

$playaer=strip_tags($password);

player is spelled wrong here too

Besides, shouldn't that be '$password' instead of '$playaer'?
