<FORM name="install" action="<?php print "$PHP_SELF" ?>" method="post">

your register_globals setting in your php.ini must be turned off

you have to use

 <FORM  name="install" action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

Tell us what's not working.

$loginname is not defined anywhere. If its comming from a form (via the post method), you need to use $_POST['loginname'].

These changes where made to php long before php5. You really need to update all your code.

<?

include("session.php");

include("language/english/en.php");

include("connect.php");

$return=ADMIN_LOGIN;

if($login=="wrong"){

$return=ADMIN_ERROR_WRONG;

}

else if($login=="missing"){

$return=ADMIN_ERROR_MISSING;

}

require("lib/html_login.php");

?>

***************************************************************

session.php

<?php

session_start();

$name=session_name();

$sid=session_id();

$usid=$_SESSION["adminid"];

I would suggest the main reason you haven't had further replies is bacause your questions have been answered yet you have failed to read the replies.

Thorpe, i did use $_POST['loginname'] like this;

$sqllog=mysql_query(" SELECT  * FROM  enter_code WHERE aname='$_POST['loginname']'");

but all i get is an error from Php.

Thank you

trq · December 11, 2007

That is syntactically incorrect, it should be....

$sqllog=mysql_query(" SELECT  * FROM  enter_code WHERE aname='{$_POST['loginname']}'");

but what error did you get?

Thorpe. This time it's no longer displaying any errors. But the login form is not logging in.

nitation · December 11, 2007

No one is willing to assist me on phpfreak. I have myself sitted here for more than 8hours trying to get this problem solved, but is proved abortive.

Am using php 4.4.7 and my login script is not processing. Administrators can not login into the admin area. The data is accurate in the database. Can someone help me please!!!!

Am really in need of this solution.

revraz · December 11, 2007

Plenty of people are willing to help, but it's hard to when you don't describe exactly what the problem is. Saying admin's can't log in isn't telling us the problem.

There is too much wrong in the code, it would be faster to just redo it.

If you'd read the replies you would have had a solution hours ago. register_globals is not enabled by default anymore. All these variable that used to magically appear, now need to be found within the $_POST and $_GET arrays. Fix these variables (site wide) and your problems will more than likely disappear.

As I said, these changes happened a long time ago, you should keep up to date with language/configuration changes if you expect to maintain an application over prolonged periods of time.

Guys i finally got out of my mess. I thanked everyone that contributed to my question. Rajiv, Thorpe and others i can't instantly remember ur usernames. Kudos to yah all.

Thanks

Just a comment:

Register_globals were turned off by default in php 4.2 in the year 2002. No new code, tutorials, books... should have been written after that point in time that relied on register globals being on.

Register globals were a huge blunder and created a security problem where values from outside your program can replace values in program variables that are set as the result of register globals (such as from session variables.)

Register globals have been completely eliminated in php6. Everyone who currently has code that depends on register globals WILL need to fix their code if they want their code to work on php6.
