Question about form classes

Hi all,

I have a quick question about form classes. I am following this
tutorial: http://www.evolt.org/article/PHP_Log...384/index.html

Basically, it is a login system. There is a session.php and a
process.php that is called when validating a login. The problem I am
having, is on my login form I fill out the fields and then the <form>
calls process.php. In process.php, the $form->num_errors is being set
correctly. Then, it redirects back to my login form.

Well, for some reason I am losing $form->num_errors when returning to
the login form. I am new at this, so I am not sure what is causing
it.

Quick rundown of what I think is happening...

login.php has 'include ('session.php') ' at the top...
The $form is created at the bottom of session.php...
login.php submits to process.php...
process.php also has 'include ('session.php') ' at the top...
if login is incorrect, process.php calls 'header("Locati on: ".
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);'
login.php is loaded and $form is empty

Can anyone give me an idea of where to start looking?

Thanks

Looks like your losing state between your redirect. Make sure that
the the value for $form->num_errors are either being passed with a
request method (POST/GET/SESSION) and 'rebuilt' within
session.php...o r that $form is being serialized and passed, then
unserialized.

Thanks for the reply. Sadly, 30 minutes later, I figured out the
problem. It's called Zone Alarm...lol! For whatever reason, it was
blocking my info on the development machine. As soon as I turned it
off, everything worked as it should. Just thought I'd post that in
case someone else runs into a similar problem.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
