Can anyone help me to mix my project with php (session hadling ) and javescript ?
All i wanna do is making my visitors to enter their username and pass word - using session , and the javascript code is used for checking if the entered username and pass word is null , if null then do the alert . My code is like this

<?
session_start();
?>
<script language = "javascript">
function Validate()
{
if document.LOGIN.username.value="" || document.LOGIN.password.value="")
{
alert("You should enter username and password to login !");
}
</script>
<?
.....
........

<form method=post action = login.php name=LOGIN onSubmit = return Validate() >
...........
...........

</form>
..........
?>
The first problem is on the top of the page there is a scentence "Warning: open(/tmp\sess_0ccee9d6f5ad6c764fcd7fd1682c3496, O_RDWR) failed: m (2) in d:\fox\www\login.php on line 2) . How can i solve this .
and the next problem is that when i don't type a word in username and password and click on submit button , it goes to the login succeful page (it did not alert ) . Where does it go wrong ?
Waiting for your help .

<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>

<form name="LOGIN" .......
........

<input type="button" value="Login" onClick="Validate()" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Firstly, to see if something is equal to something else in javascript, you need to use 2 equals signs.

if(document.LOGIN.username.value == '')

And you dont need to put return Validate() on the form.

You could just check it with PHP. If you need any more help, just post back. :thumbsup:

Remember, session_start() must go before the <html> tag, or any other tags for that matter

You need to create a directory called tmp, to find out exactly where it should go, look in your php.ini file

if (document.LOGIN.username.value=="" || document.LOGIN.password.value=="")
