Hello guys.
Actually i am making my own theme with wordpress and i have a problem. I need to mark user that he's logged in and i can;t find an api for this. Actually i am using
wp_login($username, $password, $deprecated);
to check if user have entered good password and username but i have no idea how to after this mark him that he's logged in!
I should also add that i don't want to use page wp-login, i am trying to make my own 'log in form' from the site.
Any ideas?
Greetings

You could use this code.
<?php if (is_user_logged_in()){ ?>
This will display that the user is logged in
<?php } else { ?>
This will display when the user isn't logged in
<?php } ?>

yea i know that, and actually also using it: when he isn't logged in - shows a form to loggin, but when he is logged in show 'Welcome $username' but
i just want to get my user logged into the account after he entered good username and password. Just to mark him 'now dude u r logged!'
I guess it's a matter of a setting a cookie, am i right?

Okay I see you just need the login form.
<form action="<?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post" id="loginform">
<label>Username: <input type="text" id="user_login" class="text" name="log" tabindex="10"/></label>
<label>Password: <input type="password" id="user_pass" class="text" name="pwd" tabindex="11"/></label>
<input type="submit" id="wp-submit" value="Log In" />
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo "http://".$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="testcookie" value="1" />
</form>

But it still doesn't work with your code, because it's not creating a cookie. So it's not entering the function:
<?php if (is_user_logged_in()){
print 'welcome, u r logged in'
}
?>
