Greetings,
I've copied the code from the Wrox download on pages 59 through 62.

The first part presents a form box prompting the user for a username and password.

The receiving php script (movie1.php) takes the form values into the session.

$_SESSION['username] = $_POST['user'];

If the correct form values are presented - the user is authorized.

The conditional runs like this:

if (($_SESSION['username']=='Joe')AND($_SESSION['userpass']=='12345'))
 {
   $_SESSION['authuser']=1;
 }
else
 {
   echo "Sorry, etc...";
 }

If the name username and password are not correct - the user gets: "Sorry you don't have permission, etc."

I have run this script line for line and get the latter of the two:
"Sorry you don't have permission, etc."

using the hardcoded values of:
Joe
and
12345

Could somebody on the NG please help.
Thank you.
TR

the first 8 lines in the moviesite.php must be deleted.
thatll work.
you dont need the $_SESSION['authuser']=1...

Would you enlighten us as to why this is the solution to the problem?

Rich

I have the same problem too! You have to use $_SESSIOIN because that is what the lesson is teaching you to learn how to use passing the visitor;s username and if you have permission to view the next page.

Can we get some help here?

thanks

Future forum goers please post your questions about this example to this thread:

Which has solutions to the problem and relevant snips of the code.
