Preventing the redirect URL from showing in address bar (login script)

[realityjames]

I have a login script that enables only people with the passcode to view certain pages, (only a previous server) after successful login the URL address bar would always have just the link to the login.php file only, not the destination URL.

eg. www.realitycreations.com/private/login.php should only be shown and not show the actual address of the page it linked to, (if the page was refreshed it would bring up the login page again.

This was a very useful feature but it’s now not working. The working script is at www.realitycreations.com/private/login.php

the php script is below, when logged in you’ll be able to see that the destination address of the page is visible. Is there any way to retain just the login.php address in the browser bar?

Thanks,
James

thanks but the issue is not to make the URL shorter but to hide the URL of the private landing page and only display the login.php address (not the final destination page after login). Is it possible to do this?
