sending and receiving wrong information

[Raistlin Majere]

with css label is on the left and labelled is on the right
without css, label is on the top and labelled is on the bottom
If modify.php is:

<form action="modify2 .php" method="post">
<div class="category ">
Modify
</div>
<div class="element" >
<div id="label">
Email:
<br>
<br>
Password:
</div>
<div id="labelled">
<input name="email" class="text" type="text" size="40"
value="<? echo $email; ?>" id="email">
<br>
<br>
<input name="password" class="text" type="password"
size="20" value="<? echo $password; ?>" id="password">
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Modify">
</div>
<div class="hack">
</div>
</div>
</form>

and modify2.php is:

session_start() ;
include ('../others/automatic.php') ;
mysql_connect(" localhost", $mysql_username , $mysql_password ) or
die(mysql_error ());
mysql_select_db ("Intermediary" ) or die(mysql_error ());
sanitize("post" , "email");
sanitize("post" , "password") ;
echo $email;
echo $password;
mysql_close();
I type te*****@testing .com for username and testing for password at
modify.php, but modify2.php echoes te**@test.com for username and test
for password. Why???

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean!!!

sanitize("post" , "email");
sanitize("post" , "password") ;
echo $email;
echo $password;

modify.php, but modify2.php echoes [e-mail] for username and test

I suspect it has something to do with sanitize(), but you didn't post
the details of that function.

you've not provided anything like enough information for anyone here
to make a meaningful diagnosis. The only advice I can offer is, "If
in doubt, echo out". Put code in to echo out all the variables you're
working with to make sure they really do contain what you think they
do.

I suspect it has something to do with sanitize(), but you didn't post
the details of that function.

function sanitize($metho d, $variable)
{
$variable=$_{$m ethod}[$variable];
$variable=htmle ntities($variab le);
$variable=mysql _real_escape_st ring($variable) ;
}

$_post is NOT the same as $_POST!

Are you sure that what you have shown us as the contents of
modify2.php is really all that is in it and do you have Register
Globals switched on?

Your sanitize function is not valid php and should display some
errors. It is certainly not going to influence the contents of any
variables in the main modify2.php script.
