Posting data from a form does not work. I have included a sample login
form below that used to work on older versions of PHP. I add two echo
statements (which you can see in the code below) for debugging
purposes. I uncoment any of the ones that print the posting data and
the script works. If I uncomment the ones that print the posted data it
never reaches the "Here I am!" echo just before the redirect. It works
fine if the user or password are not in the database but if the
password and user are correct this is when it fails (i.e. it never gets
to the echo statement "Here I am!").
Here is the script:
<?php
// echo ("<p>User Name = $userName, Password = $password, op =
$op</p>");
$fontColor[0] = "color=black";
$fontColor[1] = "color=black";
$login = "no";
if ($op == "ds")
{
$login = "yes";
// check each required field and create an error message.
// if any of the required fields are blank, set $login to "no".
if ($userName == "")
{
$err = "<p align=\"center\"><font color=red>There are
errors!</font></p>";
$login = "no";
$fontColor[0] = "color=red";
}
if ($password == "") {
$err = "<p align=\"center\"><font color=red>There are
errors!</font></p>";
$login = "no";
$fontColor[1] = "color=red";
}
if ($login == "yes")
{
// echo ("<p>User Name = $userName, Password = $password, op =
$op</p>");
mysql_connect('localhost', 'userlogin', 'password') or die
(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('database') or die (mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM
users WHERE User='$userName'
AND Password=PASSWORD('$password')")
or die (mysql_error());
// echo ("<p>User Name = $userName, Password = $password, op =
$op</p>");
if ($row = mysql_fetch_object ($result))
{
$userID = $row->UserID;
$fullName = $row->FullName;
$userType = $row->Type;
$email = $row->Email;
session_start();
session_register('userID');
session_register('fullName');
session_register('userType');
session_register('userName');
session_register('password');
echo ("<p>Here I am!</p>");
header("Location: http://www.fancc.org/nbosp/menu.php");
exit;
}
else
{
$login = "no";
$err = "<p align=\"center\"><font color=red>The User or Password is
incorrect!</font></p>";
}
}
}
$form_block = "<form action=\"http://www.fancc.org/nbosp/login.php\"
method=\"POST\">
<p>
<font size=\"2\"
$fontColor[0]><strong>User</strong></font><br>
