hey,  
A friend helped me create a gui a while back for a php/mysql site and he created one user and password which is stored in a MySQL table. I believe the session function is being used to validate the password. The password is encrypted and it works fine. I go to the front page of the manager section. I log in with the username and password that is stored in the table and I am in… I have tried to add a second username and password and it never works. I always get an errror. The encrypted password in the table is 16 characters long, and I am not sure how to add a second one. If anyone can shed some light on this I would appreciate it. I know I am being pretty vague but I don’t know how to explain it differently.

Any help is appreciated.  
Cheers  
Kay
