could be a whole bunch of things.

You should post the code that is creating the errors and copy and paste the errors for us to see.

why wouldn't you just do that right off the bat .. save people's time.

with your initial post, how is anybody really supposed to know what is going on, unless somebody, out of sheer chance, has had the exact same problem as you.

best to come prepared, post what you know .. what errors are happening .. the messages associated with those errors .. and what you're trying to accomplish.

on submit it just does all errors and inserts nothing into the database

Axeia · April 27, 2009

you left your password in there..

Knowing what errors are put out would help to.

premiso · April 27, 2009

Does your friends computer have the same database? Does it have the same version of PHP? Perhaps posting some of the errors would help.

My bet is you did not re-create the database on his computer like you would need to for this to work.

laffin · April 27, 2009

did ur friend run the prescribed script after installing php?

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Yer using long tags which is good, but ya fail to mention the errors.

we arent mind readers.

check yer apache logs for errors

check yer php logs for errors

blink359 · April 27, 2009

Sorry worded it wrong it echos out all if errors etc

premiso · April 27, 2009

Your version of PHP has register_globals turned on, his has them off.

You should use the superglobals ($_GET['user'] or $_POST['user']) instead of $user to grab information submitted from a form. This is why you use those, cause register_globals should be turned off for security reasons and it is being depreciated in PHP 6. I thought that you were told to do this in another thread. Seems like you disregard important information very easily.

laffin · April 27, 2009

What errors?

web server errors

browser errors

php errors

Thats like calling yer car mechanic and saying "My car dun work, what's wrong with it?"

if you dun know the sympotons, how is he gonna give u a diagnisis.

and web server/php gives u a log for these errors. so makes yer job a lot eaier.

Thanks ill try that

Does that also mean i have to change it where it says

$dbhost = "localhost";

$dbuser = "root";

$dbpass = "ascent";

$dbname = "logon";

mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);

mysql_select_db($dbname);
