I'm getting an error of: Fatal error: Call to undefined function validate_credentials() in /home/a2954500/public_html/messages/core/init.inc.php on line 18 When I login.

header('Location: index.php?page=inbox');

die();
}

session_start();

mysql_connect('mysql12.000webhost.com', '*Hidden*', '*Hidden*');
mysql_select_db('a2954500_users');

if (isset($_POST['user_name'], $_POST['user_password'])){

Umm are you sure you posted the code right? You're saying init.inc.php is exactly the same as user.inc.php...

Fixed. Sorry about that

You're not including user.inc.php in your init.int.php file so the function is never being defined.
