Thanks for the suggestions, grep, when i type a valid username, and leave the password blank, it is giving me the correct message "Enter your password" so it is looking at the next condition, i did make the change to the prepare statement though, but actually im pretty sure my problem is in how im assigning the return values to the hash %info because when i type in a valid username and an invalid password, it still gives me the 'invalid username' error even though its a good username, if i type in the correct username and correct password, i get the loan amount printed on the page, which is also what its suppose to do. Any other ideas?

Thanks for the help
