grivix Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi all, I'm a newby. I have installed PHP5 in my local computer (Windows 2000) as no web-server. I would like to execute several examples of php-code embeded in html documents that call .php files. Actually I succeed when I upload the files to a web server that runs php. But it fails if i try to run it in my computer. Sombody knows where am I wrong? The pieces of code that i'm testing are in the folowing two files: <!-- Forma.html --> <html> <head> <title> Example </title> </head> <body> <form method="POST" action="password.php"> Usuario: <input type="text" name="user" size="10"> <br>Password: <input type="password" name="password" size="10"> <br> <input type="submit" value="Send" name="private"> </body> </html> <? // Password.php if ($user=="abcde" && $password=="12345") { $valido="yes"; } else { $valido="no"; } ?> <html> <head> <title>private page</title> </head> <body> <? if ($valido=="yes") { ?> ' Our private page... <p>Welcome to the private page</p> <? } else { ?> <p>incorrect user or password</p> <? } ?> </body> </html> Thanks in advance, grivix Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49020-newby-trying-to-configure-php5/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Your code relies on setting called "register_globals" to be turned on in order for it to work. I do not recommend you code in this style as it can cause security exploits in your code. To make your code work change this line: if ($user=="abcde" && $password=="12345") to this: if ($_POST['user'] == "abcde" && $_POST['password'] == "12345") Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49020-newby-trying-to-configure-php5/#findComment-240381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grivix Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thanks Wildteen88, but the effect is exactly the same in a local installation as no web server. When i fill the form and press the Send-button a screen for DOS-commands appears, quickly it inform or do something, and disappears. When i execute the same in a rented web-server, it puts a new html-page as it is embedded in the file "password.php". Please try it at www.esenios.org/estudio/php/forma_usuario.html Usuario: tuuser Password: tupass Maybe i am disattending somethig at the installation process. Thanks in advance grivix Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49020-newby-trying-to-configure-php5/#findComment-240519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I have installed PHP5 in my local computer (Windows 2000) as no web-server. What exactly does that mean? Have you installed a webserver or not? The code you have posted uses html forms with php. This needs to be submitted and processed using a webserver.

Koobi Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i think he means he's running a PHP as a CGI. grivix, if you're not sure how to answer us, please create a file (let's call it phpinfo.php, for example) and place the following code within it, access it via the browser and post it here as an attachment or however you want: <?php phpinfo(); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49020-newby-trying-to-configure-php5/#findComment-242742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
