[RESOLVED] php search - HTML Forums

Hello, Obviously I'm new to this forum but I need some help.

This is what I'm trying to do:
Allow my PHP login script to accept URL value things.

Normally I have a log in page where someone adds their username and password it logs in 100% perfectly.

Now when i do www.mysite.com/login.php?fn=me&pass=something i just go to my login.php as if i didnt input any values. when it should have entered fn and pass

heres what i got

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$name = $_POST["fn"];

$pass = $_POST["pass"];





$con = mysql_connect("","","");

if (!$con)

  {

  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

  }



mysql_select_db("", $con);

 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM secret Where FirstName='$name'");



$succ=" There is no record of $name. ";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

  {

if ($row['Password']==$pass)

$succ="True";

    

else

$succ=" Incorrect password: $pass ";

}



if($succ=="True")

echo "Welcome  $name!";

else

echo "<form STYLE='DISPLAY:INLINE;'  name='login' action='login.php' method='post'>

User Name:<input  size='10' name='fn' type='text'  maxlength='10' />

Password:<input  size='10' name='pass' type='text' maxlength='10'/>

<a href='javascript:document.login.submit()'>Login</a><font color='#FF0000' size='-1'>$succ</font> | <a  href='register.html'>Register</a></form>";

?>

see?

Heres what i think it may be:

Possibly my begining
$name = $_POST["fn"];
$pass = $_POST["pass"];
Overrights the URL input ?

Please respond.

Anything included in the page URL by the & sign is in the $_GET variable, not the $_POST

Changing that should solve your problem

i just did

PHP Code:


			
if ($_POST["fn"] == ""){

$name = $_GET["fn"];

$pass = $_GET["pass"];

}

if ($_GET["fn"] == ""){

$name = $_POST["fn"];
