You'll need to check your html form. For some reason it's not passing what you expect it to pass.

It works for me, no problem.

scrupul0us

do you have errors enabled?

it WORKS for me but i get those errors when i have my debug mode on...

Installer

Yes, I have error reporting/display on fully, and get none.

hrm... wierd

scrupul0us

could it be one of php's core functions like a "register_globals" type of thing?

	/*-----POST VARIABLES-----*/
	if (!empty($_POST['u']) && !empty($_POST['p']))
	{
		$user = strip_tags($_POST['u']);
		$pass = strip_tags($_POST['p']);
	}

that seems to work... wierd but it makes sense...

you cant assign a variable a value that doesnt exist... if the post data isnt there, theres no post array to get the value from.... hence the error
