    <p>Hello i have a weird scope problem</p> <pre><code>require 'connect.php'; $name = $_GET['R']; echo $name; if(isset($_POST['prev_password']) &amp;&amp; isset($_POST['new_password']) &amp;&amp; isset($_POST['rep_password'])) { echo $name; if(!empty($_POST['prev_password']) &amp;&amp; !empty($_POST['new_password']) &amp;&amp; !empty($_POST['rep_password'])) { $user_password = $_POST['prev_password']; $user_new_password = $_POST['new_password']; $user_rep_password = $_POST['rep_password']; if($user_new_password == $user_rep_password) { $mysql_query = sprintf("SELECT username, password FROM users WHERE username='$name'", $name); $query_run = mysql_query($mysql_query, $mysql_link) or die('COULD NOT PERFORM QUERY'); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query_run)) { $qUser_name = $row['username']; $qUser_pass = $row['password']; } if($qUser_name == $name) { echo 'Match'; if($qUser_pass == $user_password) { $mysql_query = sprintf("UPDATE users SET password='$user_new_password' WHERE username='$name'", $name); $query_run = mysql_query($mysql_query, $mysql_link) or die('COULD NOT PERFORM QUERY'); echo header('Location: main.php?C=1'); }else { header('Location: main.php?C=4'); } } }else { header('Location: main.php?C=3'); } }else { header('Location: main.php?C=2'); } } </code></pre> <p>anyway, the problem is with the first variable $name, when i 'echo' $name its ok, displays the content correctly, but inside the (if sss) ITS EMPTY, idk why, i've tried using global, the GLOBALS array, and its still empty, ... so .. the query its executed with an empty parameter.</p> <p>please help, if someone can see what could be possible wrong.</p> <p>PD: this is a Changepassword.php the $_GET['R'] is getting from the user Main.php site, AND I KNOW, im not Hashing password,, that is not really the problem here </p>

    2. COAre you sure `$name` is empty and not `$qUser_name` for example ? on which line ? Also, do not use `mysql_*` it's deprecated and risky.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
