PAGE NOT LOADING!?

[cyandi_man]

I have a password change page that uses a php file that updates password on an mySQL database.

however when submit is hit i see the current page go blank and it does not redirect to the "password success" page.  The password HAS indeed been updated - however there seems to be an issue with my header function that sends the user to the notification page.  I have other sections in this website that use the EXACT same coding and it works without flaw!....eg. other member password update pages.

 

I am using IE - what on earth is going on??

 

<?
$user="Proadmin";
  $host="localhost";
  $password="mypassword";
  $database = "mydatabase";
  $connection = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password)
       or die ("couldn't connect to server");
  $db = mysql_select_db($database,$connection)
       or die ("Couldn't select database");
  $db = mysql_select_db($database,$connection)
       or die ("Couldn't select database");
$clientN= $_POST['clnt'];
$user = $_POST['puser2'];
$password = $_POST['ppassword2'];
$query = "UPDATE vendors SET pass = '$password', user = '$user' WHERE vendor_number='$clientN'";
if(mysql_query($query)){
header("Location: http://provicanhealth.com/vendor_pass_successEX.php");
exit;
}
else{
header("Location: http://provicanhealth.com/vendor_passchange_errorEX.php");
exit;
}
?>

Do you have this script included in some other script that has output before the header?

When learning php, developing php code, or debugging a problem with php code (as in this case), turn on full php error reporting to get php to help you. Set error_reporting to E_ALL (or the equivalent numeric value when done in a .htaccess file) and set display_errors to ON.

Obviously your Caps Lock key works, so really no need to put your Subject in all Caps, unless you think your issue is more important than everyone else's.

And don't forget that

php -l <filename>

from the command line is your friend
