I am using PHP, Mysql on IIS5. Process 1 - submit a unique user name, password 2- check against database and if successful enter details in database which creates a primary key which is the constant between the client details table and the projects 3 - when a successful login if the first time a blank client details form, or if an existing client an update form with list of projects.
I do not understand how to get the primary key generated after the initial submission to be available on each page to tie all the elements to the right client. I am thinking if I send the unique username as a form variable or http variable I can use that to filter the password table to finfd the unique ID Mind you if I do that why don't I just use the username as the unique Element???? The problem now is that something that my book is telling m,e is dead simple aint so simple for me. When I try to read the form variable I get ---- Notice: Undefined index: username in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ias_php\success.php on line 9 I have tried altering this parameter to 1 for an IIS server with no joy. cgi.rfc2616_headers = 0 This is the page in question. <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <p>seuceees <?php $HTTP_POST_VARS['username']; ?> </p> <p> </p> </body> </html> Any pointers or answers will be much appreciated Steve -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
