Definately not due to encrypted passwords.

Just test it here: http://www.opportunitynowhere.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl

Login in as Test, Password test and then click the Gallery button in the menu.

i noticed this varible in the album.pl you sent me

$::auth_module="eblah_auth.pm";

but then i notice thru the rest of the file it doesnt call the varible at all. is this meant to be?

i give up i sent FTp info via email .. i cant find why its using yabb decrypt . i even uploaded the whole thing over again and readded my config and the album.pl you sent

Can you email his fix please, always handy to know solutions.

sent. basicly he said the script assumed the user file was in a specific order and he just worked around that. god why cant perl be run in like vb heh. i woud love to be able to run it and check each varible and line step by step
