I'm having a strange problem here. I created the registration.php and connect.php files, but I cannot seem to add the info entered into the form to the SQL table, unless I have the $dbc constants inside the register.php file.
Originally, I was using the require() function to pull in the SQL connect file. But I keep getting the "System Error You could not register due to a system error." message when I submit the form.
I did several tests to try find out where the problem is and I believe it has something to do with the constants not being able to be used in the require() and include() functions. Also, I found if I copy the contents in the connect.php file into the register.php, it works.
I checked my php.ini file, both allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include are on. So I'm not sure why I can't include/require constants in my PHP files. Also, when I used the require() function I was using an absolute URL path to the connect.php file. Any ideas?
Thanks!
