Well, it took me over a year to find it, but here it is: http://www.thistle.org/penguin/

I wish someone would invent some clever way to search through all of the stuff out there on the internets.

Hey Sam/Frik,

thanks for the tut Sam. I am implementing it right now.

I wanted to respond to Frik and his button problem. If you haven’t figured it out yet you should try using CSS to style your button.

That’s all…Thanks again for the great tutorial.

the straight input type=”image” doesnt work in php apparently. ive tried several javascript workarounds for image submit buttons, they dont go well either. i will do some more research on ‘image button in php’.

thanks for the great script sam!

if you are posting html tags you can use decoded representations of greater than (>) and less than (<) signs.

> = & g t ;
< = & l t ;

Just leave out the spaces.

im trying to find out now. at “submit”, the original php just reloads.

none of the
———–
echo $query; die();
———–
or
———–
echo “-”.$username.”–”.$password.”-”;
———–
works either.

its like ie doesnt even process the php.

Ah, glad you fixed it. I wish the code portions here copy/pasted better. Maybe i need to provide the files in txt format.

That redirect looks like it should work, if not try to either build the string before hand or do header(“Location:”.$username.”.shtml”) to concatenate the string.

Thanks for visiting! I am trying to post things I have done that I would hope could help people so if you have any ideas for future posts let me know.

ahhhhh! i got it! ok its not any error i thought it would be. just that i ‘cut & pasted’ your codes directly from here, and it tuns out all your has been actually copied to clipboard as ! so all i had to do was change em back to the correct apostrophe sign. thanks sam!

while im here, im trying to make your code redirect to a specific user page, would changing (“Location: $username.shtml”) work?

thanks again! your script is brilliantly easy!

Make sure your syntax is correct here…
$username = $_POST[‘username’];
$password = $_POST[‘password’];
$query = “SELECT * FROM admin where username=\”$username\” and password = \”$password\” “;

Specifically, be sure you have all your $ in front of variables, your post variable names are the same as the names and id of your form fields in html
… name=”username” id=”username” …

and be sure your $query string has the correct post variables.

Another debugging technique would be to print out your variables after they should have assigned data. So this should work…

echo “-”.$username.”-
-”.$password.”-”;

Hey frik,
What debugging have you tried so far? Typically with a database query i will try something like printing the query to the screen to make sure that is correct (later you can run this directly on the database if you have access to do this).

In phplogin.php (after line 19 where we set $query) do

echo $query; die();

This will print the query and stop execution . I’ll try to come up with more suggestions if the query is correct.
