DW CS5 Submit Button

Hi:

Does anybody know why the Submit Button in my Log In User Form doesn't work? I have already set up the DW User Aunthentication > Log In User behavior, but when I click the Submit Button my LogIn page just erases the input text and stays put.

Browsing around the web I've read there's some extra php code needed to make the Submit Button work, is this true? Anybody has any idea on how to solve this? Jason?

Thank you for your attention.

It could be that a php error is occurring on the page.

add the following code at line 1 to turn on error reporting:

php:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors','on');

?>

post back any error that occur on testing and a copy of your page so I can take a look at the code.

Jason:

I pasted the code you sent and got the following error message:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\LovingPandaTest\Index.php:5) in C:\xampp\htdocs\LovingPandaTest\Index.php on line 81

I haven't entered or changed any code manually. Whataver's wrong has been done internally.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

the error is caused by a blank space after the closing php tag on line 4:
"?> "

remove the blank space at the end of line 4.

to trouble shoot further, add the following after the <body> tag of the login page:
<pre><?php var_dump($_SESSION); ?></pre>

also double check that the server is capable of storing a sesion variable, use the session test page from the following thread:
showpost.php?p=23826&postcount=2

Jason:

Inserting the code after the <body> tag generates the following message:

array(2) {
["sessemail"]=>
NULL
["test"]=>
string(4) "test"
}

The session variable test in the test page was always = NULL. What am I doing wrong?

please send a link where i can see the session test page.

If the session is always null, it is not something you are doing wrong, it is a problem with the server settings, most likely the session.save_path setting in the php.ini file that will need to be corrected by the host.

see the following page:
xampp-windows.html

in the what is where section, the list the location of the php.ini file

check the session.save_path setting.

make sure it points to a folder that exists on your computer.

if it s set correctly, the session test page should report the Test session variable having a value equal to "test" after clicking the second link.
