php mysql authorization

[hermzz]

i have a problem with a user manager script. it has created with a dreamweaver mx extension from felixone.it. the problem is that it works fine at localhost (my computer using pws) but when i upoad to my online server it doesnt work completely. the script has two pages, one the default index.php where theres a form to login that works on a mysql db, and a second one that has a script to make sure that therehas been a user authentification, and logout script. the second page is the password protected one. the script that makes sure that the person is logged on is the one that doesn't work. the script is as following:

<?php
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this page
$FF_authorizedUsers=" ";
$FF_authFailedURL="index.php";
$FF_grantAccess=0;
session_start();
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_Username"])) {
  if (true || !(isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"])) || $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"]=="" || strpos($FF_authorizedUsers, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["MM_UserAuthorization"])) {
    $FF_grantAccess = 1;
  }
}
if (!$FF_grantAccess) {
  $FF_qsChar = "?";
  if (strpos($FF_authFailedURL, "?")) $FF_qsChar = "&";
  $FF_referrer = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
  if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']) && strlen($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']) > 0) $FF_referrer .= "?" . $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
  $FF_authFailedURL = $FF_authFailedURL . $FF_qsChar . "accessdenied=" . urlencode($FF_referrer);
  header("Location: $FF_authFailedURL");
  exit;
}
?>

does anyone have any idea of what may be wrong?
there are two options, sever settings are diferent and may cause an error or that the script is wrong.

hi,

the problem is probably with your database connection and not the script. dreamweaver uses a couple files one called connections.php at the top of your script where it holds all the database stuff.. like hostname, username, password!

You need to make sure that the hostname/ip address is pointed to the correct place!

oh yeah, i made sure of that, as matter of fact i have two files, one set for my computer and the other for the server, and i make sure i change them when i upload to the server. i was thinking that the error might be caused by some wierd server configuration.
