Any Ideas on method?

[lalonde4]

Now when I send the activation link in an email to a user. They go to the activate page and then enter in their info but then the method doesnt work. Can anyone see where that might be. I have done a few debugging. but not all.

 

<?php $title = "Productions - Activations"; ?>
<?php  require("styles/top.php"); ?>
<div id='full'>
<?php
    $getcode = $_GET['code'];
    
    $form = "<form action='activate.php method='post'>
<table>
<tr>
	<td>Activate Code:</td>
	<td><input type='text' name='code' value='$getcode'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>Username:</td>
	<td><input type='text' name='username'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>Password:</td>
	<td><input type='password' name='password'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td></td>
	<td><input type='submit' name='submitbtn' value='activate'></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>";

if ($_POST['submitbtn']){
	$code = strip_tags($_POST['code']);
	$username = strip_tags($_POST['username']);
	$password = strip_tags($_POST['password']);

	if ($code && $username && $password){
		if (strlen($code) == 25){
			$pass = md5($password);
			require("scripts/config.php");
			$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password='$pass'");

			$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
			if ($numrows == 1){

				$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);
				$dbcode = $row['code'];

				if ($code == $dbcode){
					mysql_query("UPDATE users SET active='1' WHERE username='$username'");
					echo $sql;

mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

					echo "Your account is now active you may now login.<a href='login.php'>Click here to login.</a>";
				}
				else
					echo "Your acttivation code was incorrect. $form";
			}
			else
				echo "Your username and password are invalid. $form";

		}
		else
			echo "You have not registered your information. $form";

	}
	else
		echo "You did not fill out the entire form. $form";

}
    else
	echo "$form";

    ?>
</div>

<?php require("styles/bottom.php"); ?>

"doesn't work" is not a helpful explanation. What DOES it do and what is it supposed to be doing differently? If you've tried some debugging, what have you tried and what were the results?

[lalonde4]

Yeah i tried displaying like the db connection see if it connected and it does but do you have any other debugging im new in php actually so Im kinda getting on my feet if you can understand you all are a big help.

When I go to the link in the email it takes me to activate.php and then i enter in my username and password and then hit activate. Problem that comes is after hitting the submit it takes me to a 404 error web page.

Well, there's

</pre>
<form action="'activate.php" method="'post'"><

[lalonde4]

Well, there's

<form action='activate.php method='post'>

 

Well its set as that already just I can't get the page to get the information. That's what it seems anyway.

Well, there's

<form action='activate.php method='post'>

 

Well its set as that already just I can't get the page to get the information. That's what it seems anyway.

Look at your quoting.  Missing something?

[lalonde4]

What do you see? I don't.

[Drummin]

<form action='activate.php' method='post'>

Missing that end quote after activate.php.

[kicken]

    $form = "<form action='activate.php method='post'>

 

Your missing a quote.

    $form = "<form action='activate.php' method='post'>
