Strange login problem

PHPRunner General questions

Many of my users are receiving invalid login messages when they try to login to their accounts. When I check the database and verify the entries and try them myself I also get the invalid login message. If I delete the account and add it back exactly as it was it then works. Still others are working just fine. Any ideas what might be going on?
Thanks!

Hi,
looks like there are some trailing spaces in usernames and passwords.

Hi,

I have a similar problem. An original user works OK but any that are added result in "Invalid Login".

I look at the records using MySQL Admin and the username and password are correct NO TRAILING SPACES but still fail to login.

Any suggestions.
BTW this was working fine on a test server before being migrated to a production server.
After migrating to a production server all works OK except login.

Richard,
you can try to upload your application to Demo Account and if this error is reproducible there send the URL to support@xlinesoft.com for investigation.

I had a similar problem.
When analysing it, it was only the users that I had added to the users list. And only those where I had used cot and paste from emails to put them in the database. The cut and paste added a tailing space to the username.
I then went into the database and deleted all the tailing spaces (this is where inline editing comes in handy :-) and the problem was solved.
