linuxdream Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 You need to explain a bit more than that. Like posting some code and db structure would help.

AzK Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 theres not much code since its all done online..like i have a database filled with prices..and there are people with discounts that can login too see how much their pricing is, i can edit and delete users in this page called the authentication which allows me too add or delete these users. i added the user but it seems as if the system doesnt seem to recognise the new userthanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35469-mysql-php-web-login/#findComment-167844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Okay, there's a really good (and by really good, I really mean 100%) chance that there is in fact a lot of code behind your setup. It is simply located, as you said, online. Do you not have ftp access to your company's server that the website is located on? There is no way we can even begin to figure out why the script isn't working, unless (as mentioned) we see the actual code involved. Also, it would help if you were more specific than "the system doesn't seem to recognize the new user." Howso? Is there some kind of error message? Details, details.

.josh Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Okay...I meant ftp access to the actual scripts. You know, like, the scripts that actually produce this thing you are looking at? Like, logging in to ftp.yoursite.com and going to public_html/path/to/your/script.php ??

ober Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 How are you entering the new user? Some kind of registration form? Do you have access to the database directly? Normally these systems are setup with some kind of "enabled" flag or some kind of authentication process that needs to be followed to make the user "authenticated". My guess is that you're probably missing that step. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/35469-mysql-php-web-login/#findComment-168054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
