PHP login error, help needed!

[JustNewbie]

OK, I'm using my own computer as a webserver. So, I installed Apache2 and PHP5 on my windows XP. Everything seems fine to me after that. However after I installed some guestbook and poll scripts (I tried a lot of them and lots of them use admin control panel), and I try to login, typed username with password and nothing happens! Seems like the page did refreshed, but I'm still at the login page! I'm very sure the usernames and passwords are correct since I tried many times.

All of them doesn't use MySQL database, I did read their requirements. Since it's my own webserver, do I need to do the chmod (if yes, how)? Anyone who knows what is wrong there, please tell me!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. Maybe the scripts are not compatible with PHP5, but very unlikely.
2. You need to set a temp directory for storing session data. Do that in php.ini. But if was is the problem it'd give an error message.
3. Does anything else work in PHP? Simple scripts, etc.

I don't think the scripts are not compatible with PHP5. And also no, it didn't gave me any error message. However, only one guestbook script that works, but others gave me the same result.

Read the first post. It's my own webserver.

I think either your script is not compatible with PHP5 or with MySQL server. Please check that. I was also experienced similar problems. But they solved by restarting server. I am using IIS.

Firstly, I didn't install MySQL and secondly, all of the scripts doesn't use MySQL database. Moreover, I tried a lot of scripts, not just one, and I don't think it's possible for all of the scripts not compatible with PHP5.

Step ONE:
Create a new file and enter the following in, exactly as shown here.

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

That makes sure PHP works. If some purplish table with alot of info prints out, PHP's fine.

Step TWO:
Check the scripts and make sure they don't need any special PHP requirements like MySQL (or any database for that matter), GD, bcmath, aspx, flash....etc......

Step THREE:
Show us where it is. As well as the script location: where it can be found, product name, download address etc....

STEP 1:
<php?
?>
I found those but didn't found phpinfo();. My PHP do works, one of all the scripts worked.

STEP 2:
Yes, I did read their requirements, it's PHP and text-based database. No ASP, No CGI, No MySQL.

STEP 3:

There are lots more, and I'm tired to list them.
