The home page is index.php and it contains an include for a different sidebar_signin_block.php file that creates a user login block. In the sidebar_signin_block.php if the login succeeds I am using this javascript to send them to a login success splash page: echo "<script>window.open('login-success.php','_self')</script>";}Now on the other hand if the login fails I have an else statement with a javascript for an alert box that looks like this: echo "<script>alert('Email or password is incorrect please try again')</script>";
Here is my problem that I need help with. While at the index.php page if the login succeeds or if it fails the included file sidebar_signin_block.php opens up and is the web page in view. I want to stay on the home page index.php and do not want the sidebar_signin_block.php page to open. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Just in case you need it for diagnosing I am including the entire sidebar-signin-block.php file below:
<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="sidebar-signin-block.php">
<table width="90%" border="0" align="center" bgcolor="white">
