nrcorpx Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hello everybody! I just started developing in PHP and have used this site as a resource many times. Thank you guys for your support and I hope I can contribute as well. I am currently developing a login page for a client using PHP5. I made a very newbie mistake and did not test my script with IE, only Firefox. I finished writing the code with everything working fine on Firefox and now the login page doesn't work in IE. I have spent all day yesterday trying to figure it out (ie. session problem, cache problem, redirection error, etc...) but with no results. If you guys could help me out -- it would be so awesome. The url for the live test is : http://www.eamoo.com/test I have a simple authentication process where the input is checked and upon successful login, the user is redirected to his designated page where only his files will be displayed. The login/pass is : needhelp / thanks Everything (sessions, redirection) works fine in Firefox. The code for my index.php login page is at: http://www.eamoo.com/test/loginauth.txt I'm guessing it's a cache-related problem but I may not be sure. If you guys could also note any "bad" coding techniques I am using, I would greatly honor any comments. Thank you so much guys -- use the login/user for a test on Firefox. My email is nrcorpx@eamoo.com. Thank you once again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoform Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 you might want to rephrase the "secure login" thing if it's not using HTTPS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Oh, I see the problem. Actually if it works with Firefox then Firefox has the problem, not IE. If your 'submit' is handled by an image, then $doSubmit should not exist in the $_REQUEST array (sloppy when the form uses the method "post"). Instead what exists are the x and y coordinates of where the image was clicked relative to its upper left corner. The variables in the passed array are $_POST['doSumbit_x'] and $_POST['doSubmit_y']. Try checking for either of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrcorpx Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Dear fellas, You guys are pure geniuses. I only hope to become good programmers like you. How in the word did you figure that out, AndyB?? Geees -- where do I have to go to learn the extra mile of coding experience? And yes -- agentsteal, I did see that problem. Thank you! I was running the post through the html field box which I don't even need to do. And to neoform...haha yes -- it is rather not secure. I am so glad -- you guys are truly awesome and I will continue to only use this board. Hopefully, there is a super newbie (more newbie than me) that I could help out. And also, one more question if I may ask, how is my code, in general? I am rather new at programming so I am not that certain. Finally, how about my headers? Is that fine? I guess I have to read more about it. Once again, thank you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
