Advanced #DGPAI1 Chapter 13

I've beaten my head against the wall on this one and decided to post here. Apparently the authentication part of the Chapter 13 lesson is broken. It freezes my client when loading. I've tried a number of different things to try to fix it. Couple things stand out.

One is that it's referring to game_login.php which is not provided anywhere. I've tried changing this to authenticate.php, tried using the game_login.php that exists in the old authentication resource on the site, tried a number of things. Curious if anyone has gotten this working?

You do realize that you need to provide your own security system (ie. database back-end) for the authentication lesson, right? I didn't do this exercise yet for that reason.

Looking over the pages and on the CD, it seems that authenticate.php is the correct program to use for the server, not game_login.php. I did a quick web search and found about a dozen completely different uses of that same name (game_login.php) !

My day job as as a database guy, I'm having problems though figuring out how exactly this is supposed to be working in this case. The code is obviously broken on the CD, but even with functional code it wasn't really explained at all or how the account tables are supposed to be set up. I rigged it up with my best guess of how the tables should be set up in SQL, but no luck on getting the script to do anything.
