Hi all, is there any reason why an included remote file does not return a variable?
I have constructed a login page, where a user can enter his username and password. After completion of the form, I include a verification file on a remote server, that checks the given username and pass with the database on that remote server. I have set up the line as follows: $person_id = include("http://www.someremoteserver.com/check_login.php?user=$user&pass=$pass") and in the remote file: $query = "SELECT * FROM persons WHERE per_username='$user' AND per_password='$pass'"; $result = mysql_query($query); if (mysql_num_rows($result)==1) { $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $person_id = $row["per_id"]; return $person_id; } else { return -99; } The inclusion was succesful, checking username and pass is succesful, but returning the variable fails, so the value of $person_id is always set to 1. Could this be due to some settings on the remote server, that prevent it from passing variables back? -- Imar de Vries - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ICQ 6972439 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
