Not sure if this is a phpMyAdmin bug or not, but you might try to clear out all cookies that your browser has from john.swartzentruber.us. For that matter you should see if you *have* any cookie set from john.swartzenruber.us. I'm not pointing fingers at phpMyAdmin, but just tossing out a possible solution. > > My phpinfo() output is at http://john.swartzentruber.us/test.php > > For example, I'm trying to use a simple file upload script called "file > thingie" that is at http://www.solitude.dk/filethingie/download.php > > I have edited the original file only to decrease the maximum file size > to 500 bytes and limit uploads to text files.

I wouldn't suggest putting user / pw combos onto the web even if you intend on changing it later.

How > would I go about debugging this? Start by going to the form page's action page (since your test.php page only displays phpinfo() I'm not sure what this is going to be). We'll call this page action.php. The simplest way to debug this (but it's effective) is to var_dump($_POST) at the top of action.php. Insert this at the very top of the page (likely to cause a lot of errors :) and then gradually cut / paste that code throughout the action page. Do this until you narrow down the problem code. Since this is a file upload script you are doing you will probably want to var_dump($_FILES) as well. Heck, if you're having *session* problems then you should be looking into the $_SESSION array and (possibly) the $_COOKIE array. > > Thanks for any help or pointers. -- Teach a man to fish...
