Need help for Yahoo Webhosting : Login script

[aowaow]

First of all. Pardon me, I'm really new in php and mysql world.
I may sound dumb because I usually use the Install.php or setup.php that had been provided from other scripts. Now this is manually installation, but in return it's worthy to me because i can learn more with your script.

Okay, let's start with the story:
I was using Yahoo!Small business as my webhosting and MySQL as my database.
Had downloaded the script of 1.1 version. extract and read the readme.txt
Then I upload it to using Filezilla to a Yahoo's root with new folder called "authentication" folder
and try to change the settings.php

Inside settings.php, I saw:
<?php
$url = 'http://yourdomain.com/';
$site_email = 'admin@yourdomain.com';
$domain_name = 'yourdomain.com';
?>
==Question: Which $url should i refer? is it URL of my mysql database or URL in my Yahoo's root "authentication" folder (example: yourdomain.com/authentication/)?
i think the $site_email must be webmaster email,
and $domain_name should be my domain's name.

Then i opened mySQL and installed the code and made the table according to file coming with the script zip.

Lately i try to trial and error all possibilities of my admin link-url.
when opened the browser. Firefox, IE, Opera. All is blank.
And had tried another php file, login, confirm, etc etc. blank..

Well, i'm blank for 1 week trying to find the bugs, no clues Please, help me admin.
Am I missing something in here. Thank You.

btw:
Had check and opened using Macromedia Dreamweaver, seems the script no problem,
in "design" template it's showing.

The $url should reflect the installation folder of your auth. folder.
$site email i sthe email that appears as the sender of all emails sent out via register.php and the rest of scripts (admin email).
$domain_name = domain name ex: domain.com


Does the blank page appear when you run a certain page or on all pages? Does your server support short tags? Did you tried puttin "error_reporting(E_ALL)" at the very start of your scripts? Are you sure that everything in db.php is correct?

ok, i will check for this. I will let you know if I found the bugs.

From my experience, yahoo does not allow the PHP mail() function to be executed. You will need to modify register.php as well.

ok dokie. i found the trail. it was my macromedia settings on the browser setting. forgot to checklist the Localfiles testing. uploaded to my server, open it and tada.. , i'm still adapting to the source code. not yet fully use for my sites.

Of course you can. You can do whatever you want. The whole package is released under GNU.

Dear rS,
Thankx for all your supports!
you have mentioned that yahoo doesnt allow PHP mail(). I think this is true. Can u plz help me... what kind of modification we have to do in register.php to overcome this problem?

[roScripts]

you need to setup a smtp mailer to send emails via SMTP. But even that is hard to trick with yahoo hosting since they only allow secured connections from my experience. They really really suck.
