You've still got one thing backward:

PHP Code:


		
			
 $_POST['Username'] = "$Username";

$_POST['Password'] = "$Password";

should be

PHP Code:


		
			
 $Username=$_POST['Username'];

$Password=$_POST['Password'];

As it currently stands, you're overwriting posted variables with blank values. Somebody earlier in the thread made a note of this (just didn't want to come across as if I was taking credit for the fix).

thanks i thought i fixed that.

now we got:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/virtual/site33/fst/var/www/html/php/sendinfo.php:9) in /home/virtual/site33/fst/var/www/html/php/sendinfo.php on line 42

i dont think i cut out for this stuff

why is it that almost every time i use the "header" command i get that same error.

Yeah, you still have this part backwards!

PHP Code:


		
			
 $_POST['Username'] = "$Username";  

$_POST['Password'] = "$Password";

That means put the value of $Username into $_POST. You need to have that the other way:

PHP Code:


		
			
 $Username = $_POST['Username'];

$Password = $_POST['Username'];

This will put the value of $_POST into $Username. Also, no quotes around the variable names.

Sorry, posted too late. I see you already got that info...

Take out the echo's for your header bit to work. You need to have a "clean slate" to send headers. No spaces or returns outside of <?php tags either. That counts as "sending content" too.

Dave... put this in your code

ob_start();

ob_flush();

Put ob_start(); at the very beginning, just below the <?php tag

and ob_flush(); just before the ?> tag

example:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

ob_start();



//...

// your code goes here....

//...



ob_flush();

?>

then repost your results

here is the code:

Quote:

<?php
ob_start();
$Host = "localhost";
$db_User = "*";
$db_password = "*";
$db_name = "*";
$Username=$_POST['Username'];
$Password=$_POST['Password'];
$svrConn = mysql_connect ($Host,$db_User,$db_password);
if($svrConn) {
$dbConn = mysql_select_db ($db_name,$svrConn);
} else {
echo "did not connect to database";
}
if ($dbConn){ //this assumes that you already
//successfully connected to the database
$strQuery = "SELECT Username, Password, custurl FROM Users ";
$strQuery .= "WHERE Username = '$Username' ";
$strQuery .= "AND Password = '$Password'";
//This also assumes that you already have the username and password
$results = mysql_query($strQuery);
$result = mysql_fetch_row($results);
if ($result){
$custurl = $result[6];
header("Location: $custurl");
} else{
echo "No results returned.";
}
}
ob_flush();
?>

Does anything show on the page before the error? Do you have any blank lines or spaces before the first <?php tag? You need to be sure those are gone. Shouldn't really need ob_start/flush here, but it doesn't hurt I guess.

take out all of the echo's that you put in there for debugging, and take out the ob_start and ob_flush, see if that helps...

drjone: Why dont you post what code you *do* have as opposed to asking for someone to write and design the code for you? That might get more users looking at the thread, also may I suggest you start another thread for this topic ? It'd keep things less cluttered..

We're more than happy to help, but there arent many who will just *give* code away...

Thanks..
