Hi folks,

I'm a total newbie, so my apologies in advance.

I have auth code (see below) that works... once. Aarrggh. On the first trip to the page, the user sees a username and password box. If the user inputs a valid uid and pwd and submits, checkAuth() returns true and the user is presented with a input text box for a wishlist. So that tells me I am successfully connecting to my db and validating the user.

So everything is going great, until the user enters the wishlist and submits it. At that point, I had wanted the form to process such that checkAuth() would again return true, but it doesn't. Instead, the checkAuth() returns false and presents the user with the username and password boxes.

Hmmm. Any thoughts? Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Smile

The code that works... once. Sad

<html>
<head>
<?php
require_once('db_login.php');
require_once('Auth.php');
function loginFunction()
{ echo '<form method="post">
Enter username: <input type="text" name="username"><br>
Enter password: <input type="password" name="password"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>';
}
$AuthOpts = array(
'dsn' => "mysql://$db_username:$db_password@$db_host/$db_database",
'table' => "users",
'usernamecol' => "username",
'passwordcol' => "password",
'cryptType' => "md5"
);
$a = new Auth("DB", $AuthOpts, "loginFunction");
$a->start();
?>
</head>
<form>
<?php
if ($a->checkAuth()) {
echo 'All I want for Christmas:
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="wishlist">
<P><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="submit">';
}
?>
</form>
</html>
