"Log In User" server behavior (PHP/MySQL)

[sjb34]

Hi, I have Dreamweaver MX and I am trying to create a log in page etc, but when
I click the server behaviours the user authentication behaviour is not there.
Is this the case for php/mysql in MX? Do I have to upgrade to 2004?

MX doesn't include user authentication for PHP. MX 2004 does, but the
code is faulty. I would wait for the next version of Dreamweaver
(expected later this year) if that's the main reason you're interested
in upgrading.

Hi David

Thanks for your input. The code being faulty in mx2004 in the user
authenication server behaviour, is that on the logout user? I am having a
nightmare with it, as it keeps coming up with undefined variable, when it is
clearly defined, and register_globals is off which is required for that script
to run. I downloaded the trial of mx2004 just so I could get on with the
tutorial, but I think I have hit a brick wall. And even when I run the
blog_samples files from the webiste tutorial, it won't run and just comes up
with session already started and I can't get beyond it. It's back to hard
coding of PHP I think, and spending more time trying to write a log in script.
Unless you could point me in the direction of one which could be nicely
customisable?

All the details are in the first post in this thread on the friends of
ED forum:

That explains what's wrong with the script, and how to fix it.
