can u see the problem?

$uname = $_POST["name"];
$data = file_get_contents("http://$uname.stumbleupon.com/favorites/");
$msite = $_POST['msite'];
$regex = '/$msite/';

if (preg_match($regex, $data, $match)){	
echo "You Stumbled Successfully!";
}
else{
echo "Try Again!";

PHP:

What is happening is that the outcome is always successful even though it is a false statement.

 

$regex = '/$msite/';

PHP:

$msite won't be parsed between single quotes. Use double quotes instead.

 

Change:

$regex = '/$msite/';

Code (markup):

to:

$regex = "/$msite/i";

Code (markup):

 

Actually, since you're using user input in the expression, you might as well want to use preg_quote() to avoid errors.

 

I tried your advice with a session register but the script keeps on randomizing the output....

for example if I echo one of the session variables and then hit submit it tries to verify it against a different random variable...meaning sometimes it will fail and at times it will succeed.
