I noticed that there are serious problems in registering and logging in in PhpWiki 1.3.4.
From all pages a user can log-in filling the space with a username; once a user enters a username he is redirected to a log-in page. This page is really confusing:
In the text you read "no password is required" so: why redirect the user to a log in page? Once a user enter for the second time the username the log in fails...
The log in fails even If you try to enter a password...
According to me you can put a "Log - in" link in each page: when a non registered user wants to log in he clicks on the link and he is redirected to a log-in page in which he can enter a username and a password (according to me a password is necessary... now everyone can enter an existing username which doesn't belong to him...).
Once a person is logged in its username appears instead of the "Log in" link in pages.
Thanks for the attention everybody will give to this message!
