    phpInv seems like a nice and useful little application. Just what I was looking for for my spring cleaning. But I'm having problems using other browser apart from Netscape. But I'd like for Opera to work, which is the browser I prefer. Neither Opera nor Konqueror logs me in correctly. That is, it seems to work, I get the "Successfully logged in" message, and are promptly directed back to the screen where I started, complete with the login fields. The same happens when using Opera or IE on Windows. Any idea why?

      I've tested phpinv with netscape (linux), opera (linux + win) and ie (win) without any problems loging in.
      *) Maybe your accessing phpinv through a proxy which caches the site ?
      *) Does the session hash change when you successfully logged in ? It has to be different after you're logged in!

      Obviously something is not quite right at my site then. I am running squid on the server, but have not used it for a while since I can't really see any performance increase. Just now I tried stopping squid just in case and do a test from IE. The initial page I'm directed to is;

      /phpinv/category.php?hash=

      After typing my admin name and password the page:

      /phpinv/user.php

      is loaded and then redirected after a few seconds to:

      /phpinv/category.php?hash=7f625727c809bd212bfbf3c59e8d1727

      The username and password fields persists though, and I have no access to either the categories or the admin menu.

      Netscape works fine on both Linux and Windows though..

        I have no idea what's going wrong there cause it's working with NS but not with IE. Let's try some stuff:
        *) What happen if you try to login with a wrong password or username ?
        *) Are you able to login on my demo site (http://phpinv.sourceforge.net) with your browsers ?
        *) Which version of opera and IE are you using ?

        bye

          Ok, let's see.

          Wrong password/username gives me an error message: "Error: Invalid login". That makes sense.

          The demo site is behaving exactly as my own, I can login with admin/test, it seems to work, but I have no access.

          Browser versions:
          IE: 5.5
          Opera (Linux): 6.0 Beta 1
          Opera (Windows): 6.01

            Hi
            Now I know what you are talking about. I checked IE 5.5 and IE 5.0 on WinNT and Win98. On WinNT it works without any problems but on Win98 I was not able to login successfully.
            Unfortunately I have no idea what's going wrong :(

            I'll try to fix this as soon as I knwo what's not working.

            bye

              The windows machine I've been testing from is running Win2000. But at least you've been able to reproduce the problem after a fashion. I know how to get it to work, so there's no rush. I thought you might want to know about it though.

                Thanks for the bug report :-)

                Any browser which useragent was greater than 50 chars wasn't able to login so this is fixed now in v0.6b.

                bye
