<html>
<title>Instant Split Commissions >> Installations >> </title>
<head>
<link href="../common/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>

<h1><center>Instant Split Commissions Installation</center></h1>
<hr>


<?

if ($submit)
{

	while(list($key,$value)=@each($_POST))
	{
		$$key=$value;
	}

	// First create the config files.

	$bpath=$sitepath . "images/marketing/";
	$bdispath=$httppath . "images/marketing/";
	$rfile=$sitepath .".htaccess";
	$pt = "/{{(.*?)}}/e";

	$config  = "<? \n";
	$config .= "\$host = \"$host\";\n";
	$config .= "\$dbname = \"$dbname\";\n";
	$config .= "\$dbuser = \"$uname\";\n";
	$config .= "\$dbpass = \"$pass\";\n";
	$config .= "\$root_path = \"$sitepath\";\n";
	$path=$sitepath . "/templates/";
	$config .= "\$path = \"$path\";\n";
	$config .= "\$http_path  = \"$httppath\";\n";
	$config .= "\$http_prod_path  = \"$httppath\";\n";
	$config .= "\$bannerimg_upload_path  = \"$bpath\";\n";
	$config .= "\$bannerimg_display_path  = \"$bdispath\";\n";
	$config .= "\$mem_cookie  = \"member\";\n";
	$config .= "\$Ptn  = \"$pt\";\n";
	$config .= "\$htaccess_file  = \"$rfile\";\n";
	$config .= "?>";


	// Write the config file 

	$fp = fopen("../common/config.php","w");
	fputs($fp,$config);
	fclose($fp);


	// Create the tables

	include("createtables.php");

	



	echo ("<br><br><br><center><font class=\"tbtext\">Instant Split Commissions successfully installed. <a href=\"../admin/index.php\">Click here</a> to login as admin.");

	echo ("<br><br><br><center><font class=\"tbtext\">Please remove the install directory for safety purpose.");

if ($submit)

what is the value of $submit? if you're trying to see if there is a submission you have to do $submit = $_POST['submit'];

then you can do the if($submit)

good luck

 

[dreaminginspiration]

So i have to insert $submit = $_POST['submit']; infront of if($submit)

 

[legend2]

yes if the name of the submit button is 'submit' as your code shows. let me know.
