Topic: User list: not reading $_GET vars

Experiencing an odd problem when trying to view/use userlist.php.

Even though the displayed URL shows the form variables that were changed (userlist.php?username=*&show_group=-1... etc.), the page viewed after clicking Submit defaults to the original variable values (the name of the logged in user) and returns the original result (a single link for their info).

Any clues as to what has happened here?

I have integrated the forum into another pre-existing site and have adjusted the forum login process to be triggered when the user logs in to the main part of the site, but I don't think that should be causing a conflict here.

If anyone can point me in a direction to pursue, I'd be thankful.

Re: User list: not reading $_GET vars

So, did you edit userlist.php? If you didn't just replace it.. but I'm pretty sure you did. And I'm not fully understanding whats going on.. maybe some screen shots?

Re: User list: not reading $_GET vars

No, I did not edit userlist.php.  I believe the problem has something to do with header.php (and perhaps the include/user/header_forum.php file that is pulled in ... which adds the site's main header).

At any rate, I've uploaded 2 gifs. 
When I log in and attempt to view the userlist, I see the following:

Okay, the only member listed is me, even though the forum has 42 members.
If I try adding * in place of my username, I see:

Re: User list: not reading $_GET vars

Just reporting back in case this can be of help to someone else ... since it seemed that something in header.php was causing the $_GET vars to be "lost", I moved lines 44-47 to appear below the require statement for header.php.

Now all is functioning as norrmal.

Re: User list: not reading $_GET vars

it could be something with the mysql databases. Maybe it's getting confused with previous tables?
