Sir,i used the following code for trial purpose to see if i suceed..........

But it is showing no effect....no errors r being generated but no output is being given....it renders a blank page..

 

<?php

 

$dbConnect = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root") or die("Cannot connect database");

mysql_select_db("ABC") or die("Cannot select database");

 

 

$user = $_GET['uname'];

$passwd = $_GET['passwd'];

 

if (isset($_GET['submit']))

{

    $query = "select `fname`, `password` FROM details  WHERE `fname`='$user' AND `password`='$passwd'";

 

    $result=mysql_query($query);

    if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1)

    {

        header('Location:C:\xampp\htdocs\ABCcinemas\index1.html\');

    }

    else

    {

        echo "No match found !<hr />";

    }

}

 

 

 

?>

please post it in the php brackets next time

<?php
   
$dbConnect = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "root") or die("Cannot connect database");
mysql_select_db("ABC") or die("Cannot select database");


$user = $_GET['uname'];
$passwd = $_GET['passwd'];

if (isset($_GET['submit']))
{
    $query = "select `fname`, `password` FROM details   WHERE `fname`='$user' AND `password`='$passwd'";

    $result=mysql_query($query);
    if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1)
    {
        header('Location:C:\xampp\htdocs\ABCcinemas\index1.html\');
    }
    else
    {
        echo "No match found !<hr />";
    }
}



?>

 

what exactly is happening when this code is executed nothing?

$_GET gathers information from the browser, with tue $_GET['submit'] this makes me think that you are using a form probably in the form of a login form.

 

So in that case you'd change all your $_GET to $_POST

 

if it truely is a GET you are using, make sure you echo it out like:

 

<?php

echo "<pre>";
print_r($_GET);
echo "</pre>";

?>

 

that'll help you to see what values you do have in an array, it also outputs it in an easy to read fashion so you can help to debug your solution.  Although my money is on changing $_GET to $_POST

Hello ,

        I have 1 more query....

        If i have made my form's method as POST......and i have used GET in my php script will it work........

[radar]

no, 'cause your forms method is always post..  $_GET always gets from the browser address bar...  $_REQUEST gets from either (not a failsafe method though)...  recommended usage is $_GET from browser, $_POST from forms.

    }

}

}

 

?>

 

 

sir please help me out with...it...

if you are using xampp you should be accessing your site via http://localhost/

 

in which case, i'm guessing the form is on index.php or index.html or the like.  so your header would be: 

 

header("LOCATION:index1.html");

[cool_techie]

yes sir,i am using it on xampp via http://localhost

and my form is on index.html.....which uses php script login.php

now when i tried header("location:index1.html")

there was no effect............the redirected page is blank.....and in address bar contains address of login.php
