what would cause the authenticate.php to come up as a blank on the webpage?

Question

as fare as i can tell every thing is in order does any one have any sugestions

Answer 1

The odds are that there is some error being generated, and it isn't being sent to the browser. Start the file with a line like this...

error_reporting(E_ALL);

If you want to fine-tune, you can modify the error reporting around a tricky part of code, and set it back afterwards, like this...

$old = error_reporting(E_ALL);
// insert code here
error_reporting($old);

Don't forget to use your web browser's View Source command to see if something isn't being generated, but invisible in "HTML mode".

Answer 2

Well, there are several things that can cause that, even as simple as a bad table tag. If you view the source what is shown? You might want to post the page code and maybe we can tell you.

Generally with PHP its a bad or missing tag somewhere.
