I'm just beginning with PHP/mysql... so i don't know what i'm really doing...

I'm working on this script where paying members (which would also be registered vbulletin users) would go into a password protected area on the site and be able to enter their user name and password (which would be validated) and their usergroupid would be updated to "members" (which allows them to access certain parts of the forum where plain registered users won't be able to)..... in other words.... like the vbulletin.com paying members section validation...

This is what I've come up with so far:

The form page which would go into a normal php/html page:

Code:

 
<form name="updateid" method="post" action="useridupdate.php">
                          <input type="hidden" name="action" value="memberupdate">
						  <input type="text" name="username">
                          <input type="text" name="password">
                          <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Update">
                        </form>

and the here is the php/mysql code I'm using:

PHP Code:


			


<?PHP



if (action=="memberupdate") {

  include("./global.php");

  if (isset($username)) {

    // get userid for given username

    if ($user=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid,username,password,cookieuser FROM user WHERE username='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($username))."'")) {

     if ($user['password']!=md5($password)) {  // check password

    //    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_wrongpassword")."\");");

    $msg="Wrong Password";

       exit;

     }

      $userid=$user[userid];

    } 

    

    else { // invalid username entered

 //     eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_wrongusername")."\");");

     $msg= "Invalid Username Entered";

      exit;

    }



    if ($user['cookieuser']==1) {

      vbsetcookie("bbuserid",$user['userid']);

      vbsetcookie("bbpassword",$user['password']);

    }



$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET usergroupid='8' WHERE userid=$userid");



 $msg= "<p>User Updated!</p>";

      

 } 

}

?>



<html>

<head>

<title>Test</title>

</head>

<body>

<? echo "$msg"; ?>

</body>

</html>

The actual problem I'm having is NOT getting the usergroupid successfully updated when the correct user/pass combination is used..... because it DOES properly update the usergroupid...

However, the problem is.... I can't get the script to display a confirmation or error message.... actually when it's runed it displays *nothing*, i.e. no 'echo' text...
(note: I'm running this from the /admin directory simply for testing purposes, and i will definitely move it out of their after i get it working)

Thank you in advance to anyone who's able to debug this script....

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
