User Logon Procedure Fails

[Michael Mason]

Another day another problem. This time it appears that users are able to enter their details but I get a query execution error with the following section of code: /* Verify Login */   $sql = "SELECT UserFirstName,UserID,UserPassword FROM RegisteredMembers   WHERE UserID='$_POST[TXT_UserID]'";   $result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("couldn't select database");   $num = mysql_num_rows($result);   if ($num == 1)     //Login Name Was Found   {    $sql = "SELECT UserID FROM RegisteredMembers       WHERE UserID='$_POST[TXT_UserID]'         AND password=UserPassword('$_POST[TXT_UserPassword]')";    $result2 = mysql_query($sql) or die("Couldn't execute query #2."); The next to last line is bugging me though. "AND password= etc. because I have a variable declared earlier in the logon page for TXT_UserPassword and the UserPassword column exists but where in the hell is "password"...? Is this another of MySQLs "on the fly" variables...?     Michael Mason Business Support Services Arras® People   Tel: 01706 342310 Mobile: 07793 782287 Fax: 01706 642754 Member of the Recruitment Employment Confederation (00052055) The views expressed in this mail are entirely those of the sender, and do not necessarily represent the views or position of Arras Services Ltd.
