Hummm let me see if I understood you correctly.You want to access your site using this login page but when incorrect or hacker puts incorrect username and password, you want to show a page but a "fake" one?If this is so, and you are the only login user for this situation, I would do this. Use cPanel to protect the directory or page with password. This will popup login and password screen. But when incorrect user and password is entered (like 3 times) it will show the Forbidden Access page. You can modify the .htaccess to customize your Forbidden Access page and write a simple redirect script to the fake page. The frontend user would think that he/she cracked the password and think that the page shown is the true content of your site.

It ties your login password with stored password so that you can have multiple people using the same password or individually assigned password.

BuffaloHELP It helped out a lot but still isn't right thing.. I will post a bit later the look on webpage so it will be clearlyer to understand.. Because I have alredy an login box that is working, and there is alredy members.. but I want to edit it so it works with nw look and diffrent page redirected..

apollo.. I think he won't tell me anything how he made it because it's his BIG secret ..

Ok here is an example how I want to be:

I have this league page with login that works perfect: Click here
And I tryed to edit it, I didn't had any file of that page so I get it by File > Save Page As.. Then I edited it like I need and puted on net.. But now it works like: like this..

If you are clever then you will see that everyone can login members with password and anyone even not typing password..

So that I need is to make it work like only members can enter it, so can anyone help m out now??

Dawiss, based on this part of your posting above:

I have this league page with login that works perfect: Click hereAnd I tryed to edit it, I didn't had any file of that page so I get it by File > Save Page As.. Then I edited it like I need and puted on net.. But now it works like: like this..

If I understand correctly, you saved a php-generated page that will only be an Html document, so the Server-side aspect of the php page is now static. Get what I mean? You have lost the capability to be dynamic with your passwords and the variables passed by php.
When the page you " saved as " is generated, it produced only the html.
So when you did the " save as ", you saved only one set of variables trapped into the page and the php functions are all gone now. Does this make sense to you?
Best you be writing a new page with the php dynamic variables included in your Log-in script for the page.

Actually BuffaloHelp, they can check the server headers, and pro crackers will know that it is a 401 error
