SQL gurus:

A few days ago we went live with a PHP/MySQL site.  One of the pages
requires entry of a username and password.  If a corresponding record is
found in the password table, the next page appears.

The authentication technique we used was a session variable.  For most
users, but not all, the server returned "You have an error in your SQL
syntax near '' at line 1".  So we passed the variable in the URL, and most
users still get the same error message.

Today I experimented on two computers.  One consistently got the error
message; the other consistently did not get the error message.  Both
computers were Win98SE with IE6.0.  Their Win 98 and IE settings were
identical (except for trivial stuff like home page and mouse controllers).
They are on the same network.

My partner and I are completely baffled by this.  How can a Web page
generate an SQL error on one computer, but not on an identical computer on
the same network?

Do any of you have suggestions for diagnosing something like this?  Or maybe
you have the secret for fixing the problem?  Is this the proper list for
asking a question like this, or would other lists or forums be more
appropriate?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
