[RESOLVED] Login page not working in IE

steveDD

I have made a login page it is coded using md5 for the password. What I require is when the user logs in it will divert them to the correct page in this case corparea.php. This seems to work fine in firefox browser but on the live server IE throws up a DNS/Server not available error.

Any ideas?

How do you "divert them to the correct page"?

//Login Query
    if (($_POST['myusername'] == "") || ($_POST['mypassword'] == "")) {
        $err="Complete both boxes to continue";
    } else {
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM `sign_up` where email ='".$_POST['myusername']."'";
        $result = mysql_query($sql);
    // Login check and error reporting
        if ($result==FALSE) {
            $err="Username invalid please check you typed it in correctly and try again";
        } else {
        $userdetails = mysql_fetch_row($result);
            if(md5($_POST['mypassword'])==$userdetails[17])
            {
                session_cache_expire(40);
                session_start();
                if (!isset($_SESSION['userid'])) {
                    $_SESSION['userid'] = $_POST['myusername'];
                }    

                header( 'Location: home2.php' ) ;
            } else {
                $err="Password invalid please check you put it in correctly and try again";
            }
        }
    }
?>

Hi, this is the main bit of code the header shows the divert.

I have yet to personally run into a case where it mattered, but you might want to try using a full URL in the location header() call, as the HTTP/1.1 protocol requires it.

header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/home2.php' ) ;

Just tried this and the same problem, works on firefox but not IE, really strange. Getting really frustrating now.

NogDog

Does the redirected URL work (or at least not have that DNS error) if you enter it directly into the IE address bar?

Spot on, the file was missing in one of the folders. Makes sense now :-)

Thanks for your help.
