PHP/Flash Tutorial not working

[Maggical]

Hi there, I'm having problems making this tutorial work:

http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/flash_chat/

Basically it's not inserting any data into the database, I really don't know why. I try the first_access.php script and it seems it never enters this conditional:

if(isset($submit) && isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['username']))

For example using this address:

http://www.javierespana.com/clientes...sername=Javier

Any ideas how to make sure it works?

Thanks,

Javier

For more information I tried adding this lines in the config.inc.php to check if all connects and it's working:

$link = mysql_connect($host, $dbuser, $dbpass);
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);

It shows the "Connected successfully" message when you run it...

Any help?

Any ideas?

For any of you having the same problem the solution I found was replacing this line:

if(isset($submit) && isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['username']))

with this one:

if(@$_GET['submit'] != "" && @$_GET['username'] != "")

It seems that the other method is quite old and can cause problems...

The files on the .zip are not updated, that seems to be the problem...
