Pikachu2000 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 These 2 lines don't make much sense together. The second conditional is redundant and would be better as a count of the records returned to verify that one and only one record matched. if($rec=mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM plus_signup WHERE userid='$userid' AND password = '$password'"))){ if(($rec['userid']==$userid)&&($rec['password']==$password)){ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/215298-signup-works-login-doesnt/#findComment-1119655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chintansshah Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I am eager to know from where you set these two variables $userid and $password, I can't see any $_POST, $_GET or $_REQUEST. $userid=mysql_real_escape_string($userid); $password=mysql_real_escape_string($password); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/215298-signup-works-login-doesnt/#findComment-1119693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 It doesn't do us any good to just tell us some code doesn't work. We already know that because you wouldn't be posting on a programming help forum if your code worked. You have got to tell us what you see in front of you when you tried it. You could be getting a blank page, a php error, a mysql error, an error message from the application or any number of other symptoms that would tell us what might be the problem with your code on your server with your database.

Pikachu2000 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Instead of trying to learn php by downloading scripts and trying to install and run them, you'd be better off to find some good tutorials, or buy a book to read. Much of the code you'll find online is either old and obsolete, or has security issues.
