override

Did you ever get this figured out im having the same problem.

input any text into the box you will get a “you fail ” if the script is working.
with out header
https://securityoverride.com/Challenges/1/overidepoints.php

with header <?php require_once(‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>
https://securityoverride.com/Challenges/1/overidepointswithwpheader.php
no “you fail” script does not work

its almost as if whatever text is input into the form is not being passed to the php code

tryed
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password, new_link );
and same thing works outside wordpress
does not work inside wordpress

Ok sorry i skimmed over it and didnt see anything ill take a closer look. Thank you

But it works great outside of wordpress?

with <?php require_once(‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>
it does not make the mysql connection and it does not echo any of the results.
All that is displayed is the form and when click submit it just reffreshes the form.

thanks esmi yeah i shold have mentioned that i tryed renaming all veriables to of the wall stuff like $username33333 and $password333333
and it still does not work.
That was my first thought as well though

Let me try and explain a little better im confusing my self.
Put the code above in a blank php page out side of wordpress and it works great.
Add
<?php require_once(‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>
to the top of the page and the code will stop working

i put the php code inside and actual page ie page.php
and the include statment i tryed in side just a regualr page outside of wordpress to see if wordpress was what was causing the error, and the code works great outside of wordpress as long as you leave out the include. But inside wordpress or ouside wordpress with the include header it does not work.
