hi,
new to site and to php programming so please be patient. Here is my problem. I origionally coded my website as a html but due to need for
login/member registration I changed to php MySQL. However I have gotten turned around and need guidence as to where (what php file) I
should put the session code and how to code it correctly. Based on code samples I see the code needs to be at the top of my index.php file
and that is where I put it but cant get code to work properly. Here is seq of calls: index.php==> leftcolumn_login.inc.php
(form)==>checklogin.php… I can login from my home page ok but I have not been able to track my sessions to enable me to display the home
page (and other pages) with the correct header once I have logged in for the first time…ie I initially display SignIn links on all pages when user
hits site, but once they login I give a “welcome back member” msg and want to change the pages to display SignOut links only so I need to
track the seession logins (hope Im explaining it correctly…the db is working fine).One more thing, based on the way I tried to code the index file I
wanted to select a particular include file (that shows a differenct header) based on the session that user is on but this may not be the best way
to do it. I am definately open to changing my code based on your expertice but do not want to make too many drastic changes unless
necessary but I do want to know what I’m doing wrong. I can attach my code which will be several include files along with my index file (i can
zip it if needed) but for now I will give a few samles of my code to see if its enough for you all to see something immediate however I do not
want to glog this msg. I would really like to commicate with someone through my personal email rather than make too many post to this site. I
am in ATL and trying to communicate with the PHP group here.Thanks for anyones help ahead of time.Here are the code snipets…you may
see in code where I commented out some code that I was trying to use:
Index file:
|
Username: Password: Click to sign-up Forgot Login? |
$sql=“SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username=’$myusername’ and password=’$mypassword’”;
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
echo $where; echo $myusername; echo $mypassword;
if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file “login_success.php”
$type_login == ‘1’;
echo $type_login;
session_register(“myusername”);
session_register(“mypassword”);
//if login successfull redirect to Welcome Back member home page
header(“location:index_member.php?typelogin=$type_login”);
} ElseIf ($myusername > ‘’) { // PHP Elseif Statement
$type_login == ‘2’;
echo $type_login;
//if login unsuccessfull redirect to home page
header(“location:index.php?typelogin=$type_login”);
} Else {
$type_login == ‘’;
echo $type_login;
header(“location:index.php?typelogin=$type_login”);
}
?>
