not setting

[searls03]

can anyone tell me why $username is not setting properly?  the password is, but $username is no.  it is setting as blank:

if ($_POST['go']) {
//Connect to the database through our include
if ($_POST['logid'] ==  "&#59;5757120050531338739=49121200000?"){
$username="oldcheney";
$username = stripslashes($username);
$username = strip_tags($username);
$username= strtolower($username);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);

$password="password";}
else if($_POST['logid']=="&#59;5757120050531338721=49121200000?"){
$username="yankeehill";
$password="password";}
else if($_POST['logid']=="%6277202936423578^00000000^X?"){
$username="holdrege";
$password="password";}

$password = md5($password);

my guess is that none of the conditions are being met, so $username never gets declared.

However, since you have $password = md5($password); out of any conditional block, even if none of the conditions are met, $password will still be set to d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e which is the md5 hash of an empty string.

You should be receiving an "undefined variable" error with this, if you have error_reporting set correctly.

you are correct.  how do I set this up to work then? do I need html code for a ; or can I just enter the ;?  this is scanning from a card, and then logging someone in.  how would I do this so that they set correctoly?

Use this code to turn on error reporting. Put it at the bottom of <?php tag

 

ini_set('error_reporting', -1);
