What's the difference?
Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2005 6:58 pm
This was originally posted in the code forum, but then I realized it's obviously a database question (please don't yell at me for double posting).
I have the following code (this is just part of one file):
When I run it on my local server, I get:
And the messages are, in face, sent. When I run it on our Web server, I get nothing.
The database is definitely exactly the same on the web server as it is on the local server.
Here's what can be deduced in regard to what's going on with the Web server:
Since no output is being produced, the echo inside the while loop is probably not being executed.
One might think that, since the last echo command inside the if statement ("Messages sent.") is not producing output, the request method may be something other than "post". If this were the case, however, the browser would be redirected to login.php, which it is not.
Any ideas? I'm pretty much stumped.
Thanks,
Jason

send_message($email, $subject, $message);
}
echo "<div class=\"normalFont\">Messages sent.</div>";
}
// if the user wasn't referred by a script, they shouldn't be here
else header("Location: login.php");Code: Select all
