I'm trying to write a login script for my web site. I have a form the looks
like this:
<h4>User Login</h4>
<form action="" method="post" name="login" style="text-align:right;
padding-top:20px;"
Email address:
<input name="email_address" type="text" size="30" maxlength="100"/><br />
Password:
<input name="password" type="password" size="30" maxlength="10"><br />
<input name="Login" type="submit" value="Login">
</form>
Then I want to return whatever the user entered in the form to variables
like this:
$username = $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
$password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];
Why don't I get a value for $password?
Is there some other variable that 'password' is stored in? Why? Does HTTP
do this so it's more secure? How?
Thanks in advance.

Possibly because you are mixing HTML and XHTML, and possibly because you do
not have an end tag for the form element. Take a look at
http://www.intraproducts.com/beta/requiredform.asp for some tips about
presentation of forms (you can convert to PHP easily).

OT: The home page of your intraproducts site has problems in IE6, if I set
the font size bigger than "smaller" in my browser some of the navigation
cells on the left of the page break and when the size is set to "medium" or
above the email text at the top right of the page becomes obscured. I hope
you don't mind that I mentioned this.
Signed,
me

Don't mind at all. That site is due for an overhaul anyway. Thanks for
the heads up.
