Re: $_POST["mypassword"]; ***Undefined index: mypassword

To All,
I am so thankful to Dimiter, Bedul, Chris and Mikael for their input in
this issue of mine.
I spent at least three full crazy, frustrating long days and nights
working this so-called problem only to find out it is simply the PHP
parser looking at a "moment in time" with the login.php function. After
running the script, the incredible PHP "mind" saw two 'empty' and
'unlabeled' containers amongst all the other 'properly' dressed containers
and whatnot, that happened to be associated with the $_POST array.
This to my mind is a bit of a bug. For you all see that it is 'normal'
that certain functions and resources are only 'holding' values for as long
as they 'have' to. Their nature is to be empty, and ready to take another
value for as long as the contract is called for, and not a microsecond
longer.
So the PHP trigger_error()(generated in PHP code like an E_WARNING) is
simply not able to hold itself back from commenting on issues such as
this.

Anyway, I learned things I would have never learned this soon and rewrote
these function about twenty times looking for a better way. God, I love
coding!
Blessings,
Chetanji -(a he)

For example, you cannot create a connection to a database and store the
connection id as a session variable and expect the connection to still be
valid the next time the session is restored. PHP functions that return a
resource are identified by having a return type of resource in their
function definition. A list of functions that return resources are available
in the resource types appendix.
