Re: [PHP-DB] That crazy IF command!
Matthew Weier O'Phinney wrote:
if (strpos($query_holder, big fat)) {

That's completely wrong. Well try this :
$string = big fat fatty;
if (strpos($string, big fat)) echo 'found';
else echo 'not found';
It will always return false, because strpos in this case returns 0
(because the searched text is at position 0) so the IF statement will
never pass. The corrected version of the code above :
if (strpos($string, big fat)!==false) echo 'found';
else echo 'not found';
Regular Expressions are always a better and more elegant solution so
take a look at www.php.net/preg
These were my 0,02$

Replace this line - $connection = @mysql_connect ($db_host, $db_user, $db_password) or die (error connecting); - with this one - $connection = @mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password) or die (Error connecting : .mysql_error()); - so you can debug better. However take a look here www.php.net/mysql_connect . $db_user and $db_password are the username and password to log on the MYSQL DATABASE. You probably want to login from a database table which will contain a password and username field. Here's an example : $dbHandle = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die (mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($db_name); $sql = SELECT * FROM `table_name` WHERE `user_field` = ' . $_POST[txt_name] . ' AND `pass_field` = ' . md5($_POST[txt_password]) . ' LIMIT 1; $result = mysql_query($sql, $dbHandle); if(mysql_num_rows($result)!=0) /* Logged on */ else /* Invalid Username/Password */ There're lots of tutorials out there, google's your friend. P.S.
