Validation conditions

I would like to create a condition where if the values match the a success message appears then redirects the user to the index page, if the values don't match I want to stay on the current page and display an error message.

login.php

 <?php
        //If input set then check if user input matches store details
        if(isset($_POST) and $_POST)
        {
            $success = false;
            $email = $_POST['email'];
            $pass = $_POST['pass'];
            $success = login($_POST['email'],$_POST['pass']);
            //If successful display alert, redirect to index page
            if(isset($success))
            {
                $success = true;
                echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Login successful\nRedirecting now.')</script>";
                header('Location: index.php');
                die();
            }
            //If unsuccessful display alert
            else
            {
                echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Login failed!')</script>";
            }
        }
    ?>

configure.php

<?php   
//Define constants
define("EMAILAD", "[email protected]");
define("PASSWORD", "pwd");

//Create function to compare input to constants
function login($email, $pass)
{
    $success = false;
    if(($email == EMAILAD) && ($pass == PASSWORD)) 
    {
        $success = true;
    }   
    return $success;
}?>

At the moment all it does is redirect me to the index page, could someone let me know where I've gone wrong, please?

isset() will always be true as you set it twice. Instead, check the variable itself.

if ($success)
