I have a script that asks a user to login using an ID and password, it then displays a login menu based on the users access type. This script works on another machine, but I have attempted to set up PHP on two new machines and keep getting the same problem. The script runs but when the user types in their data and clicks the continue button the parameters being input into the script do change but it looks like it is being ignored. e.g Calling the page for the first time works: http://160.221.21.129/timelog/index.php Self-calling with the additional user_id parameter set results in the login screen being shown again! http://160.221.21.129/timelog/?user_id=99999 This should now show the users menu options. (As on the other system!) If I don't put in a user Id and password the screen is updated to reflect this, I don't understand this as again this is calling itself to perform this change. My script is included below, any help would be much appreciated: <?php // (Re-)Start the session handler session_start(); include ( $to_root.'scripts_php/common.php' ); if ( isset ($_GET['LOGOUT']) ) { $_SESSION = array(); header ('Location: http://'.$thiswebsite); } // Get the task_id, if supplied $task_id = trim ($_REQUEST['task_id']); $errormsg = ''; // Login requested? if ( $_POST['login'] == 'Click To Login' ) { $username = trim ($_POST['username']); $f_username = fixquotes ($username); // fixed for SQL statements $passwd = trim ($_POST['passwd']); // $f_passwd = fixquotes (md5 ($passwd)); // fixed for SQL statements $f_passwd = fixquotes ($passwd); // fixed for SQL statements // Error check the form data if ( strlen ($username) == 0 ) { $errormsg .= 'You must supply a username in the form <em>Lastname Firstname</em>.<br />'; } if ( strlen ($passwd) == 0 ) { $errormsg .= 'You must supply a password.<br />'; } $allok = ( strlen ($errormsg) > 0 ) ? false : true; if ( $allok ) { // Check that supplied data is valid $sql = " SELECT UserID,UserName,UserType,LastLogin FROM userlog WHERE UserName='$f_username' AND UserPassword='$f_passwd' "; $rs = @mysql_query ($sql); if ( !$rs ) { $errormsg .= 'There was a problem accessing the database.<br />'; } elseif ( mysql_num_rows ($rs) != 1 ) { // Details not OK - error $errormsg .= 'Username and/or password supplied was incorrect.<br />'; } else { // Details OK - process login $_SESSION['LoggedIn'] = true; $row = mysql_fetch_object ($rs); $_SESSION['User_ID'] = $row->UserID; $_SESSION['User_NAME'] = $row->UserName; $_SESSION['User_TYPE'] = $row->UserType; $_SESSION['LastLogin'] = $row->LastLogin; header ('Location: http://'.$thiswebsite.'?user_id='.$row->UserID); } } } // End of Login requested? ?> <?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?".">"; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Time Reporting Website</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <!-- Honeywell Intranet Template Header Files --> <link rel=stylesheet type='text/css' href="http://my.honeywell.com/inc/styleurl.css"> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://my.honeywell.com/inc/properties.js"></script> <script language='JavaScript' src='http://my.honeywell.com/inc/framed.js'></script> <script language='JavaScript' src='http://my.honeywell.com/inc/left_framed.js'></script> <!-- End of Honeywell Intranet Template Header Files --> <? include ( 'metas.php' ); ?> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> <!-- function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) { document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }} else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload(); } MM_reloadPage(true); //--> </script> </head> <body> <div id="logo">Time<br />Reporting<br />System</div> <!-- Honeywell Intranet Template Top Row --> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://my.honeywell.com/inc/globalnav.js"></script> <!-- End of Honeywell Intranet Template Top Row --> <!-- Honeywell Intranet Template Left Navigation List --> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://my.honeywell.com/inc/menuload_url.js"></script> <script language="JavaScript"> // Change this value to highlight required link in menu if ( LoggedIn == "1" ) { honeywell.list.selItem=0; } else { honeywell.list.selItem=0; } </script> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://my.honeywell.com/inc/leftmenu_div.js"></script> <!-- End of Honeywell Intranet Template Left Navigation List --> <div id="container"> <?php // Check for Login parameter if ( $_SESSION['LoggedIn'] ) { ?> <h3>Utilities available to <?php echo $_SESSION['User_NAME'] ?>.</h3> <p><hr> <table bgcolor="gray" width="70%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4"><tr><td> <p><font color="blue"><h4>OPTIONS:</h4></font><p> <?php switch ( $_SESSION['User_TYPE'] ) { case 'viewer': echo ' <a href="#" onclick="openwin (\'inputer.php?user_id='.$user_id.'\',\'work\',true,700,525,15,20)">Enter time against projects.</a>'; echo ( is_numeric ($user_id) ) ?
