I've abled to authenticate the members and redirect them to members/index.php ... It just that i'm curious about making the url become index.php?member=a which a was the member name..Thanks...

Sorry, have a google for php POST and GET methods, this is what you're asking for. So for example if you have a textbox called 'Member' depending on the forms response method you can do something like:

 

My username = $_GET['Member']

 

in the HTML the form method should be get.

 

For the get method it would be like how google's URL for searches

e.g.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=php+get+method&meta=

(note hl is one parameter, and q is another parameter and meta is the last paramater).

 

The POST method will not show the information in the URL, this will be for security.

 

GET will be displayed in the URL. Whereas, the POST method will not be displayed in the URL

 

 

**So in short, the answer is change the POST to GET in your method
