Log in Set Cookie if field = 1

Question

Can anyone help me with this please.
I have a log in page which issues a cookie and seems to work
brilliantly but now need to add the ability to activate/deactivate
a user.
I've added an 'active' field to the database where active can
only equal 1 or zero. So what I'd like to do now is edit the login
script to deny login if the 'active' field = 0.
I'm sure it's quite straightforward but I'm afraid it's
proving a bit beyond me. I've attached the existing code in case
anyone has the time to help me out.
Cheers
Dave

You can modify the code to work how you want, you might get a
red exclamation mark in your server behaviors panel, but the code
will work on the server. try using this code in place of your
query. This examples needs a coulmn named dcc_active in your db,
change to what ever your is named.
mysql_select_db($database_con_dcc, $con_dcc);
$active_UserValue = 0; // Use 1 if that equals an active user
$query_rsLogin = sprintf("SELECT dcc_user, dcc_password FROM
dcc_users WHERE dcc_user= '%s' AND dcc_password = '%s' AND
dcc_active = '%s'",
$myUsername_rsLogin,$myPassword_rsLogin,$active_UserValue);
