Upgrade to PHP 5 problem

[rupertbj]

I have the following code and was wondering why it no longer works in PHP 5.

This is the if statement at the beginning of authenticate.php:

if (!$_POST['username'] || !$_POST['pwd']) { include("emptyUser.php"); exit; } 

and later in the authentication.php file that sets the session:

session_start();
$_SESSION["username"] = $username;

and in the header.php of each page:

session_start();
if ( isset( $_SESSION[ 'username' ] ) && ( $_SESSION[ 'username' ] = $username ) )
	{
	}
else
	{
	include("emptyUser.php");
	exit;
	}

Anything here that won't work in PHP 5?

Many thanks in advance!!!

OK - I narrowed t down to the $_POST - working on it, but any ideas?

Those individual commands taken out of context do not tell me anything. There's certianly nothing about them screaming, "I won't work!" Without a bit of context and clarification as to what you mean by, "it no longer works," there's not much I can tell you. All I can suggest is that since it involves an include(), your problem might be within the included file rather than the command that does the include.

Make sure you have all error reporting turned on to help get debug info.
