Errors in my login script

i want to make login for my php,by using staffID and password.

password and staffID actually must be found in tblStaff ( database table name)

so when i click 'submit' , it would retrive to tblStaff,to make sure that there is password and staffID in the list of tblstaff

if correct,then staff can add,delete and edit list,if not then show valid staffid and pasword

and for the session variable for staffid must start with 2 uppercase letters 'ST' followed by 3 digit

password must be alphanumeric, minimun 3 characters and max 10

and i want only type='A' that can delete,edit and add the list staff

thanks

You could start with putting your code within php or code tags. That would make it at least more readable. The way it shows now is a mess.

1. what is the purpose of session_start(); and session_destroy(); right after each other?
2. your stafflog.php and stafflog2.php code look identical to me.
3. I don't see any <form> (I see a </form>) and I don't see any submit button.

You probably do some header things in "helplib.php" and/or in the "connectdb();" call. The session_start() should definitely be at the start of each script.
