PHP Config?

[sjparkes]

Hi 🙂

like nearly everyone else - I am trying a login script - but I think the problem lies with the config of my php (or whatever)

I have a login.html
<form name="form-1" id="form-1" method="post" action="login.php">
<input name="username" type="text" size="20" />
<br>
<input name="password" type="password" size="20" />
<br>
<input name="login" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

when the submit is pressed, it takes me to login.php

if(isset($username) || isset($password)) {
echo("DEBUG - isset - failed username/password");
}

for some reason the Variables $username and $password are not being passed through to login.php

is there some php setting that I need to change from default?

system Win2KPro
php 4.2.1

many thanks

$POST'username'] and $POST['password']

or if you want to continue accessing the variables the way you are (which isn't currently working), set register globals to on in your php.ini file

Are you using an include( ) function to query the database?

To test your work, create variables to represent your submissions.

$user = "Admin";
$pass = "admin";

if ($user == $username && $pass == $password) {

echo "Whatever";

} else {

echo "The information you entered is incorrect";

}

thanks chaps........

chose the $_POST route.

The ironic thing here is that I use that code in the script further down to addslashes to the username and md5 the password!! Doh!

the joys of being new to something.
