Re: Authenticate problem

Also, not sure about your situation, I'm not sure your resource id can always be counted on to be == 1. The sort of syntax I would suggest: if (!$conn=mysql_connect(SERVER,USER,PWD)) { header("Location: http://.....notlogged.htm"); } else { header("Location: http://.....logged.htm"); } obviously, somewhere on your "notlogged" page you would display the error messages. koelwebdesign wrote:

I think it should be:

$strconnectionuser=mysql_connect("123.345.567.789","$USER","$PASSWORD");

You won't execute the header functions if you exit (die) the script. 2. Your header functions won't work if you allow warnings to print.. Try testing for a valid connection, then passing the error string into the redirection url of a header call if it returns false and then exit. -ib -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
