php and POST form not acting normal...
Hi All,
I have recently built a site using PHP and MySQL, and started to implement a basic forum into it. However, the form to post messages doesnt do what I want it to. If there is no user logged in (ie no session) then it posts the message fine. But if there is a user logged in, it loads my login.php page instead of my post.php page??? Code for both pages below: >>>>>>>>>READ.PHP>>>>>>>>> <?php session_start(); include("mngmnt.inc"); connect_to_db(); @$threadid=$_GET['thread']; $_SESSION['page']="Forum - Read/Post"; print_header(); print_menu(); print "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"post.php\">\n <input name=\"thrid\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"".$threadid."\">\n"; if($threadid=="new") { print "<center><table width=\"400\"><tr><th width=\"*\" align=\"left\">Post:</th></tr>\n <tr><td width=\"100%\" align=\"center\">Subject: <input name=\"thread\" type=\"text\" size=\"60\"></td></tr>\n"; } else { $threaddata=mysql_query("SELECT created, date, starter, username, area, thread, body FROM forum WHERE tid='".$threadid."' ORDER BY created LIMIT 1"); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($threaddata)) { extract($row); print "<a href=\"forum.php?area=$area\">$area</a> - <b>$thread</b> (Started by "; contact($starter); print ")<p>\n"; } $threaddata=mysql_query("SELECT created, date, username, body FROM forum WHERE tid='".$threadid."' ORDER BY created"); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($threaddata)) { extract($row); print "<table width=\"100%\" columns=\"2\"><tr><th width=\"*\" align=\"left\">By "; contact($username); print "</th><th width=\"225\" align=\"right\">Posted on "; mysql_timestamp_to_human_basic($created); print "</th></tr>\n <tr><td align=\"left\">$body</td><td align=\"right\" valign=\"bottom\">Last edited: "; mysql_timestamp_to_human_basic($date); print "</td></tr></table><p>\n<center><table width=\"400\"><tr><th width=\"*\" align=\"left\">Reply:</th></tr>\n"; } } if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) { print "<tr><td width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"><textarea name=\"postbody\" cols=\"50\" rows=\"10\"></textarea></td></tr>\n <tr><td align=\"center\"><input name=\"postsubmit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Post\"><input type=\"reset\" value=\"Clear\"></td></tr></table>\n </form>\n </center>\n"; } else print "Login to reply</center>"; print_menu_right(); print_footer(); ?> >>>>>>>>>>POST.PHP>>>>>>>>> <?php session_start(); include("mngmnt.inc"); connect_to_db(); @$thrid=$_POST['thrid']; @$postbody=$_POST['postbody']; @$logpost=$_POST['postsubmit']; if($logpost=="Post") { $ts=timestamp_to_mysql(); if($thrid=="new") { } else { $threaddata=mysql_query("SELECT starter, aid, area, thread FROM forum WHERE tid='".$thrid."' LIMIT 1"); while($row1=mysql_fetch_array($threaddata)) { extract($row1); $putpost=mysql_query("INSERT INTO forum(created, date, starter, username, aid, area, tid, thread, body) values(".$ts.", ".$ts.", '".$starter."', '".$_SESSION['username']."', ".$aid.", '".$area."', ".$thrid.", '".$thread."', '".$postbody."')") or die(mysql_error()); if(!$putpost) print "ERROR PUTTING POST"; else print "<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"10; url=read.php?thread=$tid\">\n</head>\n<body>\nPost Complete. Now returning to the thread, please wait...\n</body>\n</html>\n"; } } } mysql_close(); ?> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any ideas? TIA. Alec.

Code for > both pages below: <snip unindented code> > Any ideas? Yes. 1. Indent your code. 2. Remove *all* error-suppressing '@'s from it. 3. Add the following lines to the top of your scripts: error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); 4. *always* check the return value of mysql_query() calls $sql = "select a, b, c from table where id=4"; $x = mysql_query($sql) or die("Error in query [$sql]: " . mysql_error()); Apart from this, if something is behaving the opposite way you intended, maybe reversing the if() will have the desired effect. if(isset($_SESSION[úsername'])) /* your version */ if(!isset($_SESSION[úsername'])) /* reversed version */ -- Mail to my "From:" address is readable by all at http://www.dodgeit.com/ == ** ## !! ------------------------------------------------ !! ## ** == TEXT-ONLY mail to the whole "Reply-To:" address ("My Name" <my@address>) may bypass my spam filter. If it does, I may reply from another address!
