    Hello I have the following code
    Code:
    <?PHP

    $password = $_SESSION['password'];
    }
    else
    {
    //if the username is not passed then it goes back to the login page
    	header("location: ../player_login.php");
    }
    
    if (isset($_SESSION['playernumber']))
    {
    	$ssPlayerNumber=$_SESSION['playernumber'];
    } 
    //gets the player_number from the security table
    else
    {
    	echo "session not set";
    	$checkplayernumber  = "Select player_number from security where userid = '$user' AND password = '$password'";
    	$getplayernumber = mysql_query($checkplayernumber) or die (mysql_error());

    The code above does not seem to want to post to itself. Can you please let me know where my minor error is?

    Just do this for the form tag:

    <form name = "form1" method = "post">

    No action defaults to self.

    You have this condition ...
    if (isset($_POST['helpSubmit']))

    I think if someone using IE hits ENTER instead of clicking the button,
    your if statement will be "false". IE doesn't see the button when ENTER key is pressed.
