I'm new to PHP and can't get this to work. Client asked that user get
kicked after 2 unsuccessful login attempts.

//MAXATTEMPTS is set to 2
//$attempts is set to 0 at the beginning of the file
$attempts=(int)$_REQUEST["la"];
if ($attempts==MAXATTEMPTS) {
Header("Location: http://foo.com/foo.htm");
} else {
$attempts++;
Header("Location:
modules.php?name=$module_name&stop=1&la=$attempts");
}

I never drop into the foo.com relocation, and $attempts is blank (I
tacked it onto the header "&attempts=$attempts").

Global variables is enabled on the server (hostforweb.com)

Any ideas of what I'[m missing? It seems so simple to do that I'm
getting pretty POed by now! :)

Mark,

Do you mean:

$attempts = $_REQUEST['la'];

This should work fine .... if not, have you tried without the global
variable?

$attempts = $la

Weeeellllll, this is the simple snippet:
if(isset($la)){
Header("Location: http://foo.com");
}else{
Header("Location:
modules.php?name=$module_name&stop=1&la=1&a=$la");
}

I put $la into the Header so I could see if there is any value...but
the URL ends up "...&la=1&a="

Now, I don't know if $la is empty, or if I am trying to debug this in
an odd way (how do you all debug without alert();? ). I tried the
above, $_GET['$la'], and $_REQUEST['$la']... nothing. Honestly, I
flummoxed by not having an alert that I can pop up easily with a
client side script...

$1a is NOT a valid variable name (and can/need you cast the array element??)

But as it is l(ogin)a(ttempts), I needn't worry.

Now I can't seem to get the nuke function is_admin() to work...damn,
something ain't right here...
