I suggest not using the TechTuts user system as it is very unsafe and is prone to hackings due to it using cookies as opposed to sessions.

But anyway, have you set up your MySQL database?

I just looked on his account and he has.

LOL, your nice aren't you.

[Robbie]

Heh, thought I might as well :p

[Topps]

Heh, thought I might as well :p

Would you ever muck up his account though?

[Robbie]

Nah, I wouldn't.

Really, I wouldn't!

HONESTLY! SO STOP HIGHLIGHTING!

The username and password fields are blank?

cookies as opposed to sessions.

If it is vulnerable, then that's a result of using cookies incorrectly.

They weren't before.
