I've completed the code for the "Try It Out" sections up until page 70, and everything had been working fine. After logging in, it takes me to the "movie1.php" page, but then, when I click on the links, it shows me the error (ie "else" response) from my moviesite.php file. I'm guessing that the variables aren't being passed from the login, but I don't know why. I changed some of the text and the button value because I get called a loser enough already, but haven't touched the variables.
Here's the code I have:
LOGIN.PHP
<?php
session_unset();

<p>Enter your password:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Am I Wrong?">
