Session Variable blank - what am I doing wrong?
Posted: Mon Sep 25, 2006 5:07 pm
Hi there
Have the following PHP code for a login screen.
Problem is when I attempt to display the username entered on the successful login page it doesn't show anything. I've tried different methods but to no avail.
What am I doing wrong???? I'm new to this and it's really starting to bug me..
any help / guidance appreciated.
Have the following PHP code for a login screen.
Code: Select all
<?php require_once('Connections/Like_A_Like.php'); ?>
<?php
// *** Validate request to login to this site.
session_start();
$loginFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($accesscheck)) {
$GLOBALS['PrevUrl'] = $accesscheck;
session_register('PrevUrl');
}
if (isset($_POST['Username'])) {
$loginUsername=$_POST['Username'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$MM_fldUserAuthorization = "";
$MM_redirectLoginSuccess = "test page address here";
$MM_redirectLoginFailed = "failed page address goes here";
$MM_redirecttoReferrer = false;
mysql_select_db($database_Like_A_Like, $Like_A_Like);
$LoginRS__query=sprintf("SELECT username, password FROM registered_users WHERE username='%s' AND password='%s'",
get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? $loginUsername : addslashes($loginUsername), get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? $password : addslashes($password));
$LoginRS = mysql_query($LoginRS__query, $Like_A_Like) or die(mysql_error());
$loginFoundUser = mysql_num_rows($LoginRS);
if ($loginFoundUser) {
$loginStrGroup = "";
//declare two session variables and assign them
$GLOBALS['MM_Username'] = $loginUsername;
$GLOBALS['MM_UserGroup'] = $loginStrGroup;
//register the session variables
session_register("MM_Username");
session_register("MM_UserGroup");
if (isset($_SESSION['PrevUrl']) && false) {
$MM_redirectLoginSuccess = $_SESSION['PrevUrl'];
}
header("Location: " . $MM_redirectLoginSuccess );
}
else {
header("Location: ". $MM_redirectLoginFailed );
}
}
