Please post your code....

I've once wrote something like this..it might be usefull to you:

<?php
$submit=$_POST["submit"];

if ($submit)
{
$login=$_POST["login"];
$pass=$_POST["pass"];
$file = "$login.txt"; //I've got the login date in a file....
$fo = fopen($file,"r");
$correctPass = fgets($fo, 4096);
fclose($fo);
$cPass = crypt($pass,"AB"); //Just some security

if($cPass==$correctPass)
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['login'] = "true";
$_SESSION['user'] = $login;

echo "You're logged on, click <a href=whatever.php>HERE</a> to proceed";
}
else
{
echo "Wrong Login";
}

}
else
{
?>
<form action = "<?php echo($PHP_SELF); ?>" method=post>
Login <input type=text size=40 name="login><br>
Password<input type=password size=40 name="pass"><br>
<input type=submit size=40 name="submit" value="Login">
</form>

<?php
}
?>

In every next page you can check the login status by using this:

<?php include 'info.inc';

session_start();

if($_SESSION['login'] == "true")
{
$user= $_SESSION['user'];
$login= $_SESSION['login'];

echo "User :: $user";
....
}
else
{
echo 'NOT LOGGED ON';
}
