Hi, I'm using PHP and mySQL to create a website. I currently have a
mySQL database which includes a table for username/password which is
checked by a PHP script when someone attempts to login. If a successful
login attempt is made the PHP script sends to user to a certain HTML
webpage, but I realise a malicious attacker could simply point his
browser to the HTML page and bypass the security.

Can anyone offer a solution?

thanks in advance
