Idea to implementation: Password protect the Admin site and Use PHP Upload
In this article, Matt continues his write up of his brief to build an artists' portfolio site. The customer requires an administration area of the site to upload, delete and rename images that are displayed on the front-end of the system. Matt teaches you how to build a password protected admin area using PHP and MySQL, and teaches you how to use the PHP Upload Extension to allow uploading and management of the image files.

Set cookie doesn't work either

Apologies for my first review... BUT
set cookie code at line 32 just won't create the cookie... the cookie ain't created, so the index.php keeps sending you back to login.php even if ya entered a valid username and password in the login.php page

Hi, if you're having problems with the code, drop me a mail, I'm more than happy to help out with any problems you might encounter. The most likely reason for a cookie not being set is that you have some whitespace somewhere before the PHP code, preventing the cookie from being set.
