[snip] Son of a Bitch... Soon as I closed that down at line 265 the search now isn't redirecting to edit.php.... Do you debug by hand? Or do you have something that helps you to do that? I've been tearing my hair out for hours trying to find that and I couldn't see it... [/snip] Debugged by hand. And I never tried to load in a browser. 1. Searched for edit.php in the file to make sure it appeared nowhere else. 2. When I found the form call I looked for the closing form tag. None found till after your search query. BINGO! Knew that if you viewed the source that your opening form tag (subsequent ones get ignored, you must close each form tag first) would have an action of edit.php, not PHP_SELF Now, I am old school and your code had reasonable whitespace and indentations...BUT NO COMMENTS! Well some, but not enough...you never explain the logic, just things like // Show your login form here. YOU MUST EXPLAIN THE LOGIC OR YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS MAINTAINING THE CODE 2 WEEKS FROM NOW MUCH LESS 2 MONTHS FROM NOW. So Jason you learned three valuable lessons today. a. plan your code (use paper and pencil or something like it) b. always account for security c. comment properly Now, here is something you can do for a project; create a file parser that will look for all opening/closing tag pairs. I did not need one in this short code, but had it been longer I might have thrown something like this at it. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
