I am even less proficient with php than a beginner, so go easy on the laughter. I had code written that doesn’t work properly and it may be due to the order of certain code (purely a guess). This code is supposed to check for valid user login and redirect to another page, refund_letter.php, if the visitor is a valid user, but it goes to a page not found error. If anyone can spot the problem and offer a solution, thanks in advance.
[php]

AND refcode = '".$_POST['refcode']."'")); if($q_rows >= 1) { $_SESSION['fname'] = $_POST['fname']; $_SESSION['refcode'] = $_POST['refcode']; header("Location: http://lslostandfound.com/process/refund_letter.php"); // url to send after login } else{ $error = "Invalid combination of full name and refcode, Please try again.."; if(!isset($_COOKIE["err_count"])){ setcookie("err_count",1,time()+604800,'/'); }else if(isset($_COOKIE["err_count"]) && $_COOKIE["err_count"] > 2){ header("Location: http://lslostandfound.com/contact-us/"); }else if(isset($_COOKIE["err_count"]) && $_COOKIE["err_count"] <= 2){ setcookie("err_count",$_COOKIE["err_count"]+1,time()+604800,'/'); } } } ?> <?php /* Template Name: Page-login */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <?php get_sidebar('top'); ?>
