include("connection.php");
// $ec=$GET['ec'];
//switch($ec)
if(isset($GET['ec']) ) {
switch($_GET['ec'])
{
case 0:

$message="
Your user name or password is incorrect!
<a href=index.php>Please try again.</a>";
break;
case 1:
$message="
There was an authentication error.
Please<a href=index.php>Log in </a>correctly.";

}
}

If there are only 2 accepted values for the variable, an if-else structure would be better.

I suspect that the problem could lie in the version of PHP, i.e. $HTTP_GET_VARS should be used before PHP 4.1.0 instead of $_GET

hi,

i used $_GET because PHP version is 4.2.2....
. $HTTP_GET_VARS used in earler versions...
then there is around 8 conditions inside the switch so it's good to use switch than if-else...

can u figure out my pbm...

I think you need to describe your problem more clearly then.

What is $_GET['ec'] ?
How does the code not work?

hi,

$_GET['ec'] is my error code which i am passing from previous page like this:

header("LOCATION:ERROR.PHP?ec=0");

in the next page which is my ERROR.PHP i am using switch to display error messages when user wrongly enters anything....

this was working perfectly fine on windows ,PHP version 4.0.5

hi all,

now it's working fine......it was php version 4.2.2 only and my code also was correct....but a small mistake....i saved my file as ERROR.PHP IT WAS THE CAUSE OF MY PBM.....since it was linux it is not recognising my php file at all when i saved in capital letter....now everything i s ok..... 😃

thanx a ot for all....
