really need some help with a php script

i purchased 2 php scripts and followed installation correctly however when i go to log in to the admin the page just refreshes and asks for the password in the admin

the other does the same for the admin and the user signup, i have no idea how to fix this, is there anyone what would be willing to look it over so see if there are any corrections to be made? you would have a free PTC script and forced matrix script for looking it over to see what is wrong.

Thanks
Richard

 

Most common problem that yields result like that is that register_globals needs to be on for the script to work and your hosting has it set to off.

With some hosting you can turn it on by adding:

to the .htaccess file. On others it is added to the PHP.ini file. On some it is not allowed at all which is really the best course of action as having it set to ON is a security issue.

Best wishes,

 

IMO, register_globals is evil. If the php script isn't programmed securely, you'll end up getting hacked and having a lot of issues down the road.

 

awesome thanks for the help

 

If you're still having trouble with this feel free to email it me (jay [a t] jaygilford [d o t] com)

 

i checked with technical support and followed the directions on how to do the globals but it didn't work, any other suggestions? the php.ini file with the globals on would i put that into the main directory where the script is?

 

Yep. It goes in the web directory root.

register_globals = On
