Hi,
from what I see the problem is that you add the authentification passwords to the
database via password('password')
but then your script checks for entries in the database where username= username &
password = password
which cannot work.
You have to make it
where username = username & password = password('password')
exactly:
"
// query the database to see if there is a record which matches
$query = "select count(*) from auth where
name = '$name' and
pass = password('$password')";
"

Hendrik

Sorry for the long post--and the cross-posting to a MySQL list, for those of you
seeing this a second time--but I'm using with difficulty the 2nd edition of
Welling/Thomson's PHP and MySQL Web Development as a textbook for self-teaching (and
I'm at the end of my rope).
After being pleased to work my way thru to Chapter 14, not memorizing the earlier
material, but having some success basically understanding it--I get to the first
"meaty" topic that I was really looking forward to getting into: the business of
authentication.
So I went into MySQL and created the database auth and the table auth, using the
following script:
create database auth;
use auth;
create table auth (
name varchar(10) not null,
pass varchar(30) not null,
primary key (name)
);
insert into auth values
('user', 'pass');
insert into auth values
( 'testuser', password('test123') );
grant select, insert, update, delete
on auth.*
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
identified by 'rivet';
I used my username that I log into the computer I'm working on--an offline
Powerbook--at the bottom, 'stevet', as well as the password that belongs to that
username, 'rivet'. Since I'm using the test server 'localhost' on the Powerbook, I
used that in the code, as well. These have worked when called for in previous
PHP/MySQL exercises, so it's not something new I invented just for this batch of
tutorials.
Next I opened listing 14.2, secretdb.php--placed properly at the root level for
accessing in my test server--in my browser. Here's secretdb.php:
<?php
if(!isset($_POST['name'])&&!isset($_POST['password']))
{
//Visitor needs to enter a name and password
?>
<h1>Please Log In</h1>
This page is secret.
<form method="post" action="secretdb.php">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th> Username </th>
<td> <input type="text" name="name"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th> Password </th>
<td> <input type="password" name="password"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Log In">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php
}
else
{
// connect to mysql
$mysql = mysql_connect( 'localhost', 'stevet', 'rivet' );
if(!$mysql)
{
echo 'Cannot connect to database.';
exit;
}
// select the appropriate database
$mysql = mysql_select_db( 'auth' );
if(!$mysql)
{
echo 'Cannot select database.';
exit;
}
// query the database to see if there is a record which matches
$query = "select count(*) from auth where
name = '$name' and
pass = '$password'";
$result = mysql_query( $query );
if(!$result)
{
echo 'Cannot run query.';
exit;
}
$count = mysql_result( $result, 0, 0 );
if ( $count > 0 )
{
// visitor's name and password combination are correct
echo '<h1>Here it is!</h1>';
echo 'I bet you are glad you can see this secret page.';
}
else
{
// visitor's name and password combination are not correct
echo '<h1>Go Away!</h1>';
echo 'You are not authorized to view this resource.';
}
}
?>
I was greeted by the Please Log In screen. I used 'user' as username and 'pass' as
the password, as that was one of the two combinations the first bit of code above
inserted into the table auth. After submitting, I got the customized error message:
"Go Away! You are not authorized to view this resource."
Just to make certain, I substituted 'root' and my root password in both pieces of
code for 'stevet' and 'rivet', and got the same error screen.
I don't understand why either of those username/password combinations don't work. I
mean, they're in the authorization table. And I'm obviously connecting to the
database, as I'm getting past that stage of the code. Can anyone tell me what I'm too
dense to see?
Thanks very much.

looks like you need to use $_POST['name'] and $_POST['pass'] in the query or
assign those values to $name and $pass first.

Not really, considering those kinds of notices are what can prevent some

Hi there,
I am trying to figure this out and can't find the right combination to
get what I want in a certain situation.
Suppose I am running a script from an URL like:
http://127.0.0.1/~myname/foo/bar.php
on this page I want to redirect to another page and send a full http
string like:
$redirect = "http://"; . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/foo/hello.php";
In this case, $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] is 127.0.0.1
How can I get the ~/myname/

Edwin, you quoted the American Heritage Dictionary:

http://www.phparch.com/mailinglists/msg.php?a=729121&s=japanese+character&p=&g=
I am simply explaning that part of the dictionary definition is incorrect.
The statement above, "The characters are simplified kanji", is equal to
the statement, "kana are simplified kanji". The ISA relationship between
kana and kanji is false and does not exist.
However, I do agree without question that kana evolved from kanji.

Agreed, and the flexibility of smarty allows for quite a bit more
functionality for the template developer... Anyone seriously considering
template engines should take a hard look at Smarty.
Just my $0.02.
Oh, and if you don't like top-posting, ignore this msg, as I will

Hello Guys,
I need a little bit of help with recursion. I've searched our PHP website
and Google, but none helped me understand my problem. There is a code below
this message in order to help you understand what I am trying to achieve.
Here is an explaination:
What I'm trying to do is list a typical category/subcategory system with
parents and children associated with those parents. My database table
(categories) lists all the parents and children together, each with a
parent_id field
(with root being a value of 0). What I want to do is, if a user clicked on
one of the parent categories, only one level of that category will show (or
only the direct children of that specific category will show). I want the
depth to be endless because I want to control the depth some other way. I
know that using a recursive theory would cost a lot as far as speed goes,
but I'm willing to risk it for now.
Here is the problem: The problem is that the recursive method yields several
arrays, instead of one long array. I tried to use an array_push() function,
but that doesn't seem to work well with multi-dimentional arrays. I tried
the straight way, i.e. $menu_array[$count]['name'] = $name_of_category or
$menu_array['name'][$count] = $name_of_category, but that yields several
arrays instead of one long array or category names. The depth of the
categories can be determined by the $_GET string passed, $_GET['some_path'],
which is in the format: parent1_child1_grandchild1_grandchild2,
etc.($some_path = 1_4_6_8), where all of these are related to each other.
These, of course, are split using the underscore delimeter: $path['0'] = 1,
$path['1'] = 4, and so on.
And finally, here is my question: How do I get all these categories, parents
and children, listed into one array and then returned. I want to be able to
list them on the web page using one array. I will also include id,
parent_id, and other info with each array, but first I want to get the name
listings of the categories to work. Also, if anyone has any suggestions
about a more speedier way to do this, please let me know.
Sorry for the long explaination, I just wanted to make sure you guys
understood my goals. Thanks in advance to anyone that responds, I appreciate
it very much. Here is the code I promised:
-----------------------------------------
function menu_tree($parent_id = '0', $cPath = '', $menu_array = '') {
if (!is_array($menu_array)) {
$menu_array = array();
$cPath = $this->separatePath($_GET['cPath']); // separates $_GET
string into array of category ids
} else {
reset($cPath);
array_shift($cPath);
}
if (sizeof($cPath) >= 0) {
$db = new base_db();
$query = "select cid, name, parent_id from categories where
