[Issues running PHP 5 in my hosting]

Hi everbody!

 

I developed a web portal totally in PHP 5, and I had it running on my college server flawlessly. Now, I just hired a hosting (Dreamhost) and I have serious problems to make the code work, it seems like anything that is variable session related it just doesn't work, like the login system, calendar, captcha, etc...

 

So, I upload one phpinfo() at every server, one in my college at the other one at Dreamhost, but I suck so bad that I don't even know where to start looking :S

 

If anyone wanna give it a look and save my ass:

 

College server is at: http://citmalumnes.upc.es/pfc/fcases/info.php

At Dreamhost: http://www.soroll.cat/info.php

 

Is the register_globals thing, maybe the session table? gee I'm totally lost, any tip on this I'll apreciate.

 

Thanks for reading.

 

[Logging out from an HTTP Authorization]

Hi fellas!
Well definetely I'm taking the javascript solution, thankx!!

[Logging out from an HTTP Authorization]

Hi everybody! A friend of mine gave me a hand to finish the script that follows, it works ok so, of course, feel free to use it in your sites. Now the problem is that I can't log out!!! I've tried to unset the $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) and the $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) but I can't figure out why it doesn't log out. So here you have the script to log in, any idea to log put will be much appreciated!!!

<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="admin"');
header('HTTP/1_0 401 Unauthorized');
    echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
    exit;
} else {
$nick = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
$passwd = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];

$sql = "SELECT nick,passwd,id_admin FROM admin WHERE nick='$nick' AND passwd='$passwd'";
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($res);
if( $row['nick']==$nick && $row['passwd']==$passwd ){
$_SESSION['id_admin']=$row['id_admin'];
/* redirect id the username or pass are correct */
$redirect = "admin/index.php";
header("Location: {$redirect}");
die("If the page doesn't redirect click <a href='{$redirect}'>here</a>");
}else{
    echo 'Text to send if user entered incorect username or password!';
    exit;
}
}
?>

[sending form data to an external function]

Hi everybody!
I'm trying to send some form data to a different page where I have all my site's functions.
My form page it's like this:

<form  method="post" action="functions.php?action=checkgroup"> /* is this action right? */
Group Name: <input type="text" name="group">
<input  type="submit" name="submit" value="check">
</form>

Then, in my functions.php page:

function checkgroup(whattheheckshouldIputinhere?){

sql stuff...

return something..

}

Well , so what am I missing? is it something related to GET action and stuff?
If anybody can give me a hand I'd appreciate it!
Thnkx!
(and my register_globas is on)
