[disclaimer]
I am new to LAMP, php, mysql, ect... come from 'wintel' world and mostly "MikeRoweSoft" languages
[issue]
I am having a lot of difficulty with sessions. I have tried three examples from different sources, and something is not happy....
with the wonderfully simple and great example 'Login with sessions' I get the following errors
[errors]
Notice: Undefined index: username in /var/www/html/auth.php on line 9
Notice: Undefined index: username in /var/www/html/auth.php on line 14
Notice: Undefined variable: username in /var/www/html/auth.php on line 29
Notice: Undefined variable: password in /var/www/html/auth.php on line 29
[code snippet]
here is the code from SDE's example, starting on line 8, first php code on line 9;
// convert username and password from _POST or _SESSION
Line 9 --->if($_POST["username"])
{
$username=$_POST["username"];
$password=$_POST["password"];
}
Line 14 ---->elseif($_SESSION["username"])
{
$username=$_SESSION["username"];
$password=$_SESSION["password"];
}
// start and register session variables
session_register("username");
session_register("password");
// connect to database
include("connect.php");
// query for a user/pass match
$result=mysql_query("select * from users
Line 29 ---> where username='".$username."' and password='".$password."'");
