This is my first time using sessions. None of the data in $_SESSION['name'] is making it to my next page. Here is the source of the 3 pages I'm working with.
(Been trying to get this to work for hours)
(log.php)
<form name=login" action="in.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="password" name="pass">
<input type="submit">
</form>
(in.php)
<?php
session_start();
/******************************************/
$username="****";
$password="****";
$database="****";
/******************************************/
$user = $_POST['name'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$user' and password='$pass'";
$query2 = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE username='$user' and password='$pass'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
mysql_close();
/******************************************/
$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$name1=mysql_result($result,$i,"username");
$pass1=mysql_result($result,$i,"password");
$id =mysql_result($result,$i,"id");
$i++;
}
/******************************************/
$result = mysql_query($query2);
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
mysql_close();
$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$id =mysql_result($result,$i,"id");
$i++;
}
/*****************************************/
if ($name1 == $user)
{
if ($pass1 == $pass)
{
$_SESSION['name'] = $user;
header("Location: private.php?id=" . $id);
} else {
echo "pass is wrong";
}
}
else {;
echo "User or pass is incorrect";
}
?>
(private.php)
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['name']))
{
die ("You must login to view this page");
} else (
echo "It worked";
)
?>
