"Quicky PHP question"

I've asked this before, but can't find the topic.

I've just formated my Hard Drive, and installed all the things I have to run a Server on my machine, for testing sites and scripts, etc.

The problem now is PHP doesn't pass Variabes from page to page, so submiting forms or adding them onto the ends of addresses doesn't work anymore, and I'd like to know what I have to change to allow this to work again.

I know it's something in the PHP.ini file, but I can't remember which item I'm supposed to alter in order to make the Variables work.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can jog my memory :)

You're using the wrong functions I think. Try fread() instead of fgets().

Me again, with a Whitespace problem :(

When writing data which contaings carrage returns from a Form into a text file, there is no problem. The data is from a textarea input.

When PHP tries reading the file and displaying it however, it cuts off as soon as it gets to the end of the first line, and I would prefer it to read the whole file.

$fp = fopen("$File", 'r') or die("ERROR:");
flock($fp, 1);
$Data = fgets($fp, filesize($File) + 1);
flock($fp, 3);
fclose($fp);

Would anyone know of a simple solution around this little glitch in my code??

Thanks :)

The Script is basically an Error Log system for a friend Web Site. Somone can fill in a Form to report an Error, and its saved in a Text File, which is then accessed by the index.php script to list each error in its own Table layout.

Each table has a 'Report Error as fixed' link, which is for my friend to when she has fixed the reported bug, so she knows that bug has been corrected.

The link takes her to Error_Fixed.php?ID=1, with the ID refering to which error it is that's being reported fixed. Now, this part of the script works fine, well it did until I added the login area.

session_start();
if (file_exists("Authorise.php"))
include("Authorise.php");
else
die("

Unable to Authorise you, due to a required file missing

");

$User = Verify("$Details[Username]", "$Details[Password]");
if (! $User) {
header("Location: Login.php?Target=Error_Fixed.php?ID=$ID");
exit;
}

Was the original code, and you'll see the $Details[] bit is the actual array from the Seesion.

However, I also used $Details as an array for the bits of data for each Error report, $Details[0], $Details[1], etc, which caued confusion in the script, and so I changed the Seesion Variable from $Details to $Session ...... and all it was, I forgot to change that in the code above

$User = Verify("$Details[Username]", "$Details[Password]");
.. to ..
$User = Verify("$Session[Username]", "$Session[Password]");

... and everything works as normal. I was complrtly looking into the wrong area, as if you look at the script at the top, because the $Session[] wasn't in the Verify function, it was always going to return false, and therefor send me back to the Login page every time.

I feel very stupid .... but thank you for taking the time to look into it everyone. It just goes to show that there is geeraly a simple reason for something not to work.

:) thanks again, and sorry for the bother.

Hm, just copied your code into a couple of files and ran it. I only encountered 1 problem with it though. I got the header info already sent error, but that disappeared when I removed some whitespace from the end of authorize.php. Other than that if I put:

http://localhost/login.php?actionflag=Login& Username=Username1&Password=Password1&Target=user.php

It behaved as the code intended (as far as I can see), ie it redirects to user.php.

I agree with the suggestions. Are you sure
