MYSQLi Log In User

I have viewed all of your tutorials and I cannot for the life of me get this function to work.

I have a record set tested and connects and displays data. I have a form which is set to POST data.

In the "Find Record" tab, it should be pulling the username and password from the record set correct?

"Store Value" tab, can that be left blank or must each column have a value in the "save in session as"?

Does the password have to be encrypt or can it be plain text?

no, it should be using the form elements.

Saving the sessions is optional

the password does not have to be encrypted.

send a copy of the page rather than pasting the code into your message please.

or better yet, would be to send a link and give FTP information so i can troubleshoot the code in place, i would also need a test login.

Rule #1 when working with forms:

All form processing MUST occur on the page that is the action attribute of the form tag.

the form tag:
<form action="cp.php" method="post" id="enter">

action attribute on your page is to send the form post to the cp.php page

this means that the login behavior that is on the enter.php page will never be executed. when the form submit button is pressed, the form data is sent to action page, in this case the cop.php page.

for the login behavior that is on the enter.php page to be able to run, the action of the form needs to be set to the enter.php page.
<form action="enter.php" method="post" id="enter">

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.
