I think all php functions are case sensitive and must be all lowercase. try changing "IsSet" to "isset" and give it a run. I im not 100% sure because i always type every function in php lowercase and keep it the same throughout the application so i dont ever have to worry about that. Just a thought. -phpninja -----Original Message----- From: Richard Lynch [mailto:ceo@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, March 04, 2005 11:03 AM To: John Swartzentruber Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Re: Authentication fails - problem line found John Swartzentruber wrote: > I stripped down my original script until it started receiving POST data, > then I kept modifying it until I figured out where the problem was.

WILD GUESS: Somewhere in your form and/or the logic, you are sending GET data for $action as well as POST data for $action, and you are confusing the two.
