[FX.php List] Error problem

[Steve Winter]

Ha ha...!!

So guess number two was correct, something further up the page was changing
a value of one of your 'important' variables...

Something I've done elsewhere is to actually define values for the database
parameters;
  define('serverIP', '127.0.0.1);
  define('serverPort', 80);
  define('serverPassword', 'myPassW0rd');
etc... then you won't run into the problem that you were having since you
can't do serverPassword = $_GET['pw'];

YMMV

Cheers
Steve

As usual, I eventually found my stupidity. I shouldn't try to work on  
PHP at 2AM.

I was processing a login, from which I was getting an email and  
password value. This is a cart that I wrote a couple of years ago,  
that I've cloned for another client, so I forgot that I'd used the  
variable "pw" for the password.

So...

In my server_data file, I'm storing the password as--you guessed  
it--"pw". So when the login variable was passed in, it overwrote the  
stored password variable, and the query never happened.

I spent over an hour trying to find the source of the problem before I  
figured out what was going on...
