Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Forms not working while on http://localhost

You are sure PHP is working?  You say the login script works if you
hard-code the username and password.  Check your access and especially error
log for info about PHP when you try to login with variables there instead of
hard-coded values.  Maybe provide a snippet of code you're using, and the
log files when you try to access it.  Was the PHP app written for PHP prior
to 4.1.0?  Some things changed in the way PHP accesses some predefined
global variables.  Get the PHP manual in CHM format from http://php.net/ and
search for "predefined variables".
