Yes that was the problem.

in most php installations, you don' tneed to use $_POST[] ,although it could be good practice and it is more secure if you dont want people to be able to enter variables in the url.

Actually that guide I gave you on installing Apache with PHP in the Linux forum, when I did it I have to use Post and it is the latest one out... (although it is Apache 1.3.27). But true it is more secure too.

user/pass like i said isn't that critical to be in the url for the site, as it is more of a security risk on the clients end when someone is looking over their shoulders.
And when you look back in the history as well, you can see lets say his sites name is lll.asd

well if you type in lll.asd you could see the old history, things like lll.asd/blah.php?asd=asd&lll=ddd
