if your do_login script doesn't require any cookies or session information you can just redirect right after auth:
<?php //do_login.php $url = "http://www.somewebsite.com";; //do stuff if($loggedin == true){ header("Location: " . $url); } else{ //possible postback with get var error i.e: header("Location: do_login.php?error=failedLogin") } ?> "Michael T.
