Been programming too long today?

[steelmanronald06]

haha! yes. I wrote that script in 1 hour. there is a total of 286 lines! It is all one big switch! :(

[steelmanronald06]

hahaha!

[code]<?php //Set the variables from the url
$username = $_REQUEST['id'];
$code = $_REQUEST['code'];

//Update their information to activated
$sql = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET activated='1' WHERE username='$username' AND password='$code'") or die (mysql_error());

//Set their Private Message Inbox to activated
$sql2 = mysql_query("UPDATE users_pm_allow SET activated='1' WHERE username='$username'");

//Ensure Their Account Was Activated
$sql_doublecheck = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password='$code' AND activated='1'");
$doublecheck = mysql_num_rows($sql_doublecheck);

if($doublecheck == 0){
echo "<strong><font color=red>Your account could not be activated!</font></strong>";

//Include the bottom layout
require_once('../includes/bot.php');

//Exit the script
exit();
} elseif ($doublecheck > 0) {
echo "<strong>Your account has been activated!</strong> You may now login!<br />";

//Include the bottom layout
require_once('../includes/bot.php');

//Exit the script
exit();
} ?>[/code]

guess what I get?

[quote]Your account could not be activated![/quote]

No other error but my custom error is returned, and when I echo $username and $code it shows what it should, by matching it to the phpmyadmin entry.  so my question, why is it not activating?  It isn't updating the row :'(

[steelmanronald06]

so just checked something else!

see where there is that second update query for the users_pm_allow? that one works!  so it is just the one that isn't working  :o

I would personally check to see what $doublecheck is coming back with.  Use the die() function there after your query.  I don't know what you're set up like but it seems as if you're posting the right information and still getting the error, you're probably not getting the right info returned from your query.  This is why I use Adodb because it does my debugging for me = )

[steelmanronald06]

wow! i don't know what i was doing, but it works now! thanks for the help gijew and neylitalo (im moral support).

Ha, good luck and happy coding!
