Hi, 

I tried it on many PHP forums but with no answers  

I am making a login page, but as soon as I login I receive an error message saying: 
"Error in query: select username, md5(password) from tblusers where tblusers.username = 'ADMINISTRATOR' and md5(tblusers.password) = '6c84cbd30cf9350a990bad2bcc1bec5f' No Database Selected" 

The problem is the database table exsists (of courses I figured that one myself), and when I query the same query in mysql I dont recieve an error. 

This problem happens at random; sometimes I can log in, which makes the problem more frustrating 

(sometimes I also receive the following popup error:APACHE caused an invalid page fault in 
module PHP4TS.DLL at 015f:100ddfc1. 
Registers: ....) 

Here is the scource code below: 
------------------------------------------------------------------- 
<?php require_once('scripts/sessions.php'); ?> 
<?php require_once('Connections/OfficeBox.php'); ?> 

<? 

if($_POST['signal']!="") { 


$logusername = $_POST['username']; 
$logpassword = $_POST['encrypt']; 



$query = "select username, md5(password) from tblusers where tblusers.username = '$logusername' and md5(tblusers.password) = '$logpassword'"; 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query " . mysql_error() ); 
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result); 
if($numrows == 0) 
{ header("Location: logoninvalid.php"); 
exit; 
} 
else 
{ 
$_SESSION['sessusername'] = $logusername; 
header("Location: logonok.php"); 
exit; 
} 

mysql_close($connection); 
} 
else{ 
?>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

My connection file looks like: 
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
<?php 
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm" 
# Type="MYSQL" 
# HTTP="true" 
$hostname_OfficeBox = "localhost"; 
$database_OfficeBox = "Systemapp"; 
$username_OfficeBox = "root"; 
$password_OfficeBox = ""; 
$OfficeBox = mysql_pconnect($hostname_OfficeBox, $username_OfficeBox, $password_OfficeBox) or die(mysql_error()); 
?> 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 

MD5 in the query is not the problem. Mysql excepts the query (I ran the query from within mysql for testpurposes) Furthermore most of the time it does except my password. 


Something about the script itself:this script encrypts(using md5) the form passwordfield through javascript. When it is encrypted it checks it with the encrypted value from the database. (so in the mysql database the password is just common and readable) 

I installed 
apache_1.3.26-win32-x86-no_src.exe 
and 
php-4.3.0-dev-zend2-win32-alpha2.zip
I am using windows98

kind regards
Patrick

Does this happen with this snapshot:

http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip

(make sure you replace ALL the files from previous install with the files found in this package! php4ts.dll being the most important one)
 [2002-07-20 04:02 UTC] georg@php.net 
Please use mysql_select_db function before sending 
queries, or specify a table identifier in your query, when 
you don't use mysql_select_db.

Note: You also should upgrade your mysql-server to the 
lastest  version, some win98-bugs are fixed there.
