Hey dan, anything new you want me to try and work on? if anyone was wondering i made the hookup and unhook script for the truck and trailer.

I have a working login script using sessions. It works on xampp (my program to test my php files). when i transfered it to the dcole server the login worked correctly but the session did not last from page to page. I could use the session variables i set on the page i set them on but when i went to the home page, i could no longer use them. here is most of my script.

<?phpsession_start();$userlogedin = false;$username = $_POST["username"];$password = $_POST["password"];require_once("userdata.php"); //include the file that contains the user records$size = count($users);for ($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++){  if (($users[$i]['username'] == $username) and ($users[$i]['password'] == $password))  {    $userlogedin = true;    $_SESSION['username'] = $users[$i]['username'];    $_SESSION['first'] = $users[$i]['first'];    $_SESSION['last'] = $users[$i]['last'];    $_SESSION['email'] = $users[$i]['email'];    $_SESSION['website'] = $users[$i]['website'];  }}if($userlogedin){ $first = $_SESSION['first']; print "you should be loged in $first ";}else{ print"the username and password do <u>not</u> match!";}?>

the login works because when i type in my password and username it gives me the message you should be loged in Charles but when i type in nothing or something random it gives me the username and password do not match! so it must be something with my sessions. I know i can use the ones i set on the page i set them on because it gave me my name in the message that said that i was loged in. but i cant use the session on my home page where i go something like

<?phpsession_start();$username = $_SESSION['username'];$first = $_SESSION['first'];$last = $_SESSION['last'];$email = $_SESSION['email'];$website = $_SESSION['website'];?><?php if(isset($_SESSION['username'])){ print" Welcome $first $last | <a class='welcome' href='/login/profile.php'><div class='welcome'>Profile</div></a> | <a href='/login/logout.php'><div class='welcome'>logout</div></a> ";}else{ print"Welcome <a href='/login/newuser.php'><div class='welcome'>Guest</div></a>| <a class='welcome' href='/login'><div class='welcome'>Login</div></a>";}?>

I want to figure out why this is happening only on the dcole server. the sessions work just fine for me on xampp.

That's right, IE was never meant to become a flagship product, only a Netscape killer.  Once Netscape died, IE development did too, and now they're trying to pick up where they left off.  Any programmer who has come back to a project after 5 years and looked at the code probably knows the feeling of sitting there trying to understand what you did and asking yourself why the ###### did you do that.There's a paid version of IE?  Who would actually give someone money for such a thing?  That's like paying a mugger to punch you in the face.

I got another idea. go to the yabb forum. ask in the programing section. many of the people that work on the actual yabb forum also answer questions. they could probably tell you how they do the online/offline thing. I think they use perl but you could probably do it a similar way using php. here is another idea. you could use somethign like "Inactive" if the user hasnt viewed a page in the last hour or something. just make a script to check the last page view time.Edit: i just hate it when i am posting a message and someone slips their post in first. o well

I see now. that one is complicated. do you want to consider the user loged out after they leave your site? I am not sure how to do this. there is probably a way. If i were you I would just look at the time they last visited a page on your site. that would be close to the time they would log out.Edit: Try and get the source of a php forum. take a look at how they do it.

obviously it isnt working... thus there must be something wrong. MOgaard will probably be like dan did you try this yet? and it will work...

But if the user is inactive for a certain period of time, the cookie stored at his computer will be deleted and logged out of my site. But the statistics remain the same, how can I change that?Without having the statistics trace the cookies ?

Whos calling me

just on the crazy chance that you did what dcole did, check to make sure there is a space inbetween the equals sign and your email in the php.ini file.

Dan, I think you should just start all over. try to do everything an different way but get the same end result. there are many ways to do one thing. just try a different one. remake your file manager and everything but no coppy and paste!

I know domains are never free but i was more referring to subdomains. I have a free subdomain from dyndns.com but they dont seem to have any that would go well with noreseland4h

What would be a good color that would go with both 003399 and F0F8FF

Even though it may be depreciated all the browsers i tested it in still support it

oh yeah that was when i was working on the code. it is pretty much fixed now. just a few minor things that probably only I will notice.

ok um i dont get what the problem is. my text wraps on its own. I dont have a scroll bar. It isnt set to have or not have a scroll bar any more.

I could use javascript but then there is what if javascript is disabled. It isnt that big of deal. I got most of the bumps smoothed out of my html and css now.

setting all the classes may work together and it may not but it will Not work for rounded corners. I wish i could draw a picture here but i cant. each div is a line each line gets longer then you have your main div and theneach line/div gets smaller. thats bassically how the rounded corners workso if you only had one div with all the classes set at onec you would have a corners that has just one px missing.

My therory is that IE has some problem setting the height of the div because the height of the tabel and td it is in are precents. if i set a specific height for the td (in px) then the div is the corect height. the position relitive mad no difference the position absolute mad everything end up sitting ontop of eachother.Edit: when one thing works in FF it doesnt work in IE. When one thing i try works in IE It Makes it display wrong in FF.Theory #2 When the page is loading it decides the height of the td from the div inside(even though it should be a % of the table) then it goes to the next div inside and it is like oh no the td is too small. now insted of adjusting the previous div too it just makes the td size adjustment then moves on.Theory #3 IE tried to change W3 standards but forgot that it couldnt.Edit #2: I got it working 95%. the only major thing is that in IE it scrolls and in FF it places a scroll bar there but it scrolls only half a line. if i could i would like to remove the bar in FF. I wish there was some sort of way for php to dectect the type of browser the user has.

I was working on a websit for my 4H. I just need a domain or a subdomain that works with norseland4h. I would like to have something like http://norseland4h.com or .org. if it was a subdomain i would like it to be something like http://norseland.fourh.com or norseland.4h.com or something that relates to 4h. I would prefer something that is free but the club would be willing to pay some money for a domain

edit: fixed link to ie screen print

The location of the script should not be an issue when doing file operations, so the only thing that I think could be the issue is the path to the file.

I didnt see what was wrong with it in IE6 I want that scroll bar there if that is what you are talking about.

I dont think php can detect the screen resoultion. it is a server side script. you should just use javascript. is there a reason you have to do it in php?

they are different!this is a compleatly different topic. If i didnt have rounded corners it wouldnt even relate to this. my problem would still occur without the rounded corners. my problem is with tables and divs more than rounded corners. I have rounded corners down but the div inside of the table is what is bothering me.

the horizontal scroll bar clutters my site so it really isnt that bad of idea to make sure it doesnt appear. I always manually wrap my text. I try to make my site look the same on all browsers. this topic should be closed. I will do things my way.
