If you use mysql:

first grab the submitted data

<?
if(!empty($_POST['/'] && !empty($_POST['q'])){


Then see if the data matches any record in the mysql database :)

Hokay! I guess no one really gets what i am tring to say. Well here see if this helps:

If you look at thisClick here for the template! (http://www.4templates.com/view/search=4x5S0KTtq6iBSoUJlUZBpqk1FblhWpkhgoN3KlyNxSSOjMTBEPDsSJQUWYlSFUUmJna8pXCIuA1nRGqnlWiiU5AXKL0zA DgaU5kYl5XaJFrk1_ZdtAgzpHC7/1/VA0123OR)

And if you scroll down to the "Home Page Preview", you should see a Account login area, thats what i am tring to say. Like say that was my template, what would i have to edit in the entire login area, or the Submit button.

Hope that helped, thanks, and please help me asap.

that portion of the page is just a css styled html form... that's how a user is expected to input data into a php script... there is a tutorial on html forms at w3schools... just google it.

here's an example of such a form:

<form method="POST">
login&nbsp;name: <input type="text" size="20" name="login">
password&nbsp;$nbsp;:<input type="text" size="20" name="password">
<input type="text" size="20" name="q" value="password">
<input type="submit" value = "login" />
</form>


the etire html file to see an example is:

<html>
<body>
<form method="POST">
login&nbsp;name: <input type="text" size="20" name="login">
password&nbsp;$nbsp;:<input type="text" size="20" name="password">
<input type="text" size="20" name="q" value="password">
<input type="submit" value = "login" />
</form>
</body>
</html>



google to figure out how to interface it with php
