I am having trouble getting a session to work, I have the registration page working, have my login area accepting the username and password to the point where I see the message "Login Successful" as I asked to happen in one of the login documents I created.
The trouble is that when returning to one of the pages Ive created, on which a menu appears for logged in users, it does not appear.
I have followed tutorials to learn what I know and where Ive referenced from one to benefit the other I think Ive got my wires crossed, If I post the area that I think is the problem could someone clarify what I need to do where?
Code: Select all
<?php
// Connect to server and select databse.
$host="picfrisky.com"; // Host name
$username="example"; // Mysql username
$password="example"; // Mysql password
$db_name="users_db"; // Database name
$tbl_name="users"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// username and password sent from form
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password=MD5('$mypassword')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
header("location:login_success.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password...";
}
?>
Code: Select all
if ($rowcount==1)
{
//log the user in
$_SESSION['user']=$post_username;
$_SESSION['id']=$id;
echo $_SESSION['user'].", you have been logged in! <a href='hshsite.php'>Return</a> to the main page.";
