dlouis95 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 In the script provided, at if($email==$email2), it says it is false when I know it's true. I know that the cookie is the same as the email in the database, yet it sill wont work. I have even echoed the two to see myself if they were the same, and they were, yet it still is saying it's false. Anyone know whats up? Thanks! if(isset($_COOKIE['dan'])) { $email=$_COOKIE['dan']; $host = ...; $username = ...; $password = ...; $db_name = ...; $tbl_name = ...; mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); $user=$_GET['username']; if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT username FROM $tbl_name WHERE username = '$user'"))) { $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$user'"; $result=mysql_query($sql); $rows=mysql_fetch_array($result); $email2=$rows['email']; if($email == $email2) { ?><html>...</html><? } else { ...

Pikachu2000 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 What is this supposed to do? It's only part of a conditional . . . ---> if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT username FROM $tbl_name WHERE username = '$user'"))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only part of a conditional . . . ---> if(mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT username FROM $tbl_name WHERE username = '$user'"))) That's to check if a record exists. I googled a way to do this, this is what it gave me, and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Check the string length of each item. Maybe there's a space before/after one of the values. BTW, you really shouldn't use any value gotten from the URL without sanitizing it. <?php $user=mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['username']); ?> Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out my problem was nothing(space before $email)! Thanks for telling me to sanitize the url value. I haven't gotten to that yet, but have done it for forum entry's.
