This redirect dosn't work on IE or Opera but works fine on FF, Chrome, Safari

[loozah]

I have tried everything I can think of and have had no success with the solutions I have found on forums so far. my problem is that the code below works just fine on FireFox, Chrome and Safari but stops dead on Internet Explorer and Opera...

 

###################################################

this is the "myconfig.php"

###################################################

<?php

session_start();

mysql_connect("localhost", "mydata", "my_pass") or die();

mysql_select_db("my_database") or die();

function logged_in()

{

if (isset($_SESSION['username']) || isset($_COOKIE['username']))

{

  $logged_in = TRUE;

  return $logged_in;

}

}

?>

 

 

###############################################

this is the login/redirect page  (input passed from separate login form)

###################################################

 

<?php

include "myconfig.php";

if ($_POST['login'])

 

{

//get the data

$username = stripslashes($_POST['username']);

$password = stripslashes($_POST['password']);

$rememberme = $_POST['rememberme'];

 

  if ($username && $password)

{

$login = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE email = '$username'");

    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($login))

      {

$db_pass = $row['password'];

 

        if ($pass == $db_pass)

  $loginok = TRUE;

        else

          $loginok = FALSE;

if ($loginok == TRUE)

 

{

if ($remember_me == "on")

setcookie ( $_COOKIE['username'], $username, time()+7200);

else if ($remember_me == "")

$_SESSION['username']=$username;

header("Location: ../admin.php");

exit();

          }

 

  else

die("error msg");

            }

          }

  else

      die ("error msg");

      }

?>

 

any help would be greatly appreciated by my three remaining hairs

 

Thanks in advance

           if ($pass == $db_pass)

 

where did you define '$pass'...??

 

i think this should be '$password'

[loozah]

You're absolutely correct. I did indeed use "password" in my script "pass" in the post is a typo... sorry bout' that

Thanks for your response

"pass" in the post is a typo...

 

You should be coping/pasting your actual code so that you don't waste everyone's time.

 

Post the form that is submitting the data to that code. You are likely using an image as a submit button and the browsers where your code does function are actually not following the HTML specification in sending the $_POST['login'] value.

Yup! I had an image as a button in the form... all is well now thanks. Bye the way I did copy and paste, the error was due to some changes I had made just before the post and... what can I say? I missed it... anyway thanks again.
