Configure Apache and PHP

[Dolda2000]

That admin.php file, have you made that yourself? Because I don't think that it even should work. Sure, I haven't used PHP in a while, but when you log in, the name and passwd variables won't be set, and therefore it will just continue to the displayForm() part.

Hi,

I didn't get your message. Why won't the username and password variables get set, the same code works perfect when I hosted it in a Windows machine using phymyadmin. Its just that it isnt working on a Linux box.

I don't know anything about using this stuff on Windows, but I'm pretty sure that POST data sets global variables like that. You have to retrieve them through the HTTP_POST_VARS array. Try adding this right after the session_start line:

if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["name"]))
    $name = $HTTP_POST_VARS["name"];
if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["passwd"]))
    $name = $HTTP_POST_VARS["passwd"];
