i were working offline all the time with wampserver installed in my comp.
but after i loaded it in school server i experienced a problem,
in my web after login in your own profile appears also their is a link were you see other members profile.
My problem is that when you open other profile and tend to open again(myprofile)your own profile which is also as a link after opening another profile.
some of the datas of the other member especialy the last registered member appears on myprofile,while offline i didn`t have such a problem.
How can i overcome this???????????

That's strange. Is there any change of version in php/apache ? I can't think of a reason why your script is acting weirdly !

You have http://localhost hardcoded in your script, use the host name of the web server.

This would explain why it works on your workstation but not the server. When you have no session data it's because you've been transferred to the web server running on your workstation, and the session data is on the remote server, so php doesn't see it.

To find it all, shut down the server running locally and you'll get 404's wherever you have a hardcoding.

To avoid this use:

header( "refresh:5; url=http://{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}/website/myprofile.php" );

or

header( "refresh:5; url=/website/myprofile.php" );

instead of

header( 'refresh:5; url=http://localhost/website/myprofile.php' );

Either works...

Hardcoding host names in links will always cause broken scripts so never do it unless you are going to a different host and there is no other way 8)

I learned this from working in a disciplined environment where we had:
www.servername.com
qual.servername.com
dev.servername.com

Hardcoding caused the qa guys to get completely broken sites. You learn really fast when it takes a week of red tape to get changes moved, then another week to get the fixes put in to fix your hardcodings ROFL.

Schools do not often secure properly other users directories and once you login into system you able to browse other users work, this is just side observation

there is no change in php/apache.
i`m suprised because offline it works well.

Its very difficult to say what is going wrong. Try unsetting the session variables and see if it does any trick.

mrcniceguy 5 Posting Whiz in Training · Answer 5 · 2008-05-15T18:12:03+00:00

do you mean at the end of my session??
should i put something like this:
session_unset();

nav33n 472 Purple hazed! Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 6 · 2008-05-15T18:17:50+00:00

Umm.. When you visit someone's profile, will his details be added to the session ? If yes, then unset the session variables before using it again. If no, then, I can't think of anything else.

mrcniceguy 5 Posting Whiz in Training · Answer 7 · 2008-05-15T18:35:04+00:00

when you visit somone`s profile,his Details are not added to the sessions))
