Hi all, Im working on a site and I am making it locally running on a server pc, and it works totally fine (PHP5). But when I upload it to my hosting server (PHP4.3) the sessions don't seem to work. I can log in but when I click a link its logged out again. I've checked and session.use_only_cookies is off here but on on the hosting side, but when I look in my cookies folder there is a cookie from my hosting with the session ID so that can't be the problem.

The website is www.ge64.nl/alpha/ , you can log in with Lalala and bla. What it should do is show stats when you click Home Base but it doesnt, and it isnt a mysql problem because the top5 member thing does work. Here is the code for loging in:

Code:

if(!empty($_POST['login_name']) AND !empty($_POST['login_pass']))
{
    $login['name'] = $_POST['login_name'];
    $login['pass'] = md5($_POST['login_pass']);

    connectdb();

    $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE `name` = '" . $login['name'] . "'";
    $result = mysql_query($query);
    $num = mysql_num_rows($result);
    if ($num < 1) { $loginattempt = "wrong user"; } 

    mysql_close();

    $i=0;
    while ($i < $num) {

    $name = mysql_result($result,$i,'name');
    $pass = mysql_result($result,$i,'pass');

    $i++;
    }

    if($pass == $login['pass'])
    {
    $_SESSION['name'] = $login['name'];
    $_SESSION['pass'] = $login['pass'];

    $loginattempt = "successful";
    }
    else
    {
    $loginattempt = "wrong pass";
    }
}

And here is the code that checks if there is someone logged in:

Code:

function islogin() {

if(!isset($_SESSION['name']) OR !isset($_SESSION['pass'])) {
return NULL;
} else {

global $sqlhost, $sqluser, $sqlpass, $sqldb;

mysql_connect($sqlhost,$sqluser,$sqlpass);
mysql_select_db($sqldb);

$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE `name` = '" . $_SESSION['name'] . "'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);

mysql_close();

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$name = mysql_result($result,$i,'name');
$pass = mysql_result($result,$i,'pass');
$i++; }

if($pass == $_SESSION['pass']) {
return $_SESSION['name'];
} }
}

Can anyone please help me

:grin: Hey Ge,

Nice to see you back. The guys who code and know the ins and outs of websites are offline right now. I am sure that they will be around later today.

Be patient, I am sure they will have some ideas for you.

Hey there Ge64

.

You forgot to call session_start() before defining the session variables. I would recommend calling this at the beginning of the script, as it has to be called before anything is output to the browser.

Hi,

I did call session_start(); at the top of index.php, and all other pages go through there. I uploaded the entire source to http://www.ge64.nl/files/src.zip

It does work on my PHP5 server but not on PHP4.3.

PHP5 is not backward compatible with PHP4. The only thing in the entire two scripts that look remotely PHP5 is the AND operator, and that can easily be changed to && to make it PHP4 compatible (I think).

I changed it, but it makes no difference. According to the php site the only difference is which goes first like ^ goes before * etc.

So there has to be something that doesn't work in PHP4 and does work in PHP5, but doesnt generate any errors... Somehow I thnik it's something with the sessions
