So I have a code that is suppose to save form sessions and then redirect to another website. It does redirect but the sessions are never saved when I go back to my site. And yes, I do have session_start() at the very top of the page. And also, the sessions do get saved on locahost server but not live server. Do you know why this is happening? Here's the code example. if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $name = trim($_POST['name']); $email = trim($_POST['email']); $_SESSION['name'] = $name; $_SESSION['email'] = $email; $errors = array(); $db->beginTransaction(); if(empty($name)) { $errors[] = 'Name is required.'; } if(empty($email)) { $errors[] = 'Email is required.'; } if(empty($errors)) { $db->commit(); $new_url = 'https://www.google.ca/'; ?> <script> window.location.href = '<?php echo $new_url; ?>'; </script> <?php exit(); } else { $db->rollBack(); } }

I've got a session $_SESSION['product'.$i.''] that I am trying to echo out. The auto increment on it is working, the $i is auto incremented. So if I do: $i = $_SESSION['count']; echo $_SESSION['product'.$i.'']; echo " ("; echo $_SESSION['count']; echo ") "; It will come up as "Ham Pizza (4)" if it is the 4th time I have done the process and so on. If I echo the sessions out like below: echo $_SESSION['product1']; echo $_SESSION['product2']; echo $_SESSION['product3']; It will come out with the associated product names in the order I done them, eg: Ham PizzaMargheritaBBQ Pizza What I want to know is how to echo them all out at the same time. This is so a user can see what is in their cart, and when I get to it, the checkout too. Any help please?

Hi, I've been going out of my mid for almost a week now trying to figure out how to make this work... I want multiple users to have their own individual usernames and passwords and be able to log in and view certain pages that non-registered guests can't see. I've set up my databases and usernames and passwords. I've actually gotten my login code to work now and then, but in trying to get sessions to work and not allow just anyone to manually type in the addresses of certain pages I've managed to mess that up and it doesn't work now either. I've been to MANY different sites and used examples but just can't get the login to work properly nor figure out how to get the sessions to check for a logged in user. My code so far...I've taken out my real password login,php <?php $connection = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'mypassword'); if (!$connection){ die("Database Connection Failed" . mysql_error()); } $select_db = mysql_select_db('login'); if (!$select_db){ die("Database Selection Failed" . mysql_error()); } if (isset($_POST['username']) and isset($_POST['password'])){ $username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; $username = stripslashes($username); $password = stripslashes($password); $username = mysql_real_escape_string($username); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($password); $query = mysql_query("select * from members where password='$password' AND username='$username'", $connection); $result=mysql_query($sql); $count=mysql_num_rows($result); if($count==1){ session_register("username"); session_register("password"); $_SESSION["authorized"] = true; header("location:membersarea.php"); } else header ("Location: login.html"); } ?> And this is what I put at the top of each secured page... membersarea.php <?php session_start(); if ($_SESSION["authorized"] = true) { } else { header("Location: login.html"); } ?> Thanks in advance!

Hi, I have created a webpage that so far was working using SESSIONS. As soon as the user successfully logs in, i save some variables inside a SESSION array and pass them to the mainpage.php script (or any other script that needs these variables). Now i want to implement "REMEMBER ME" feature. I know that i need to store the variables i want into a COOKIE and then access the cookie to get the variables i want. How do i restructure my code now? In case of not selecting REMEMBER ME: I check to see if a SESSION is set and i use only the SESSION variables? In case of selecting REMEMBER ME: I check to see if a cookie is set and then retrieve the variables from COOKIE array? If thats the case i will need to check every script to check this? Is there an easier way to configure it? Regards, Chris

Hey guys, I wanted to share something with everyone. I hope this is helpful. This is basically a native solution to easily store PHP session data in a MySQL database. Session variables contain data that is saved for a specific user by associating the user with a unique identity. Typically, PHP would store session variables in a local file system on the server by default. While this may be acceptable to many people who are running small to moderate PHP applications, some larger applications that require load balancing would need to be run on multiple servers with a load balancer. In such cases, each server running PHP would need a way to ensure that sessions continue to work properly. One common way to achieve this is to override where PHP opens, reads, writes, and destroys the session variables so that it can perform these operations on a table inside of a MySQL database. When this is performed, the web application can gain advantages such as session management, session logging, and session interactions. I have provided my source code for your reference here: https://github.com/dominicklee/PHP-MySQL-Sessions Hope this helps someone out!

Hi! I have read like crazy to find a tutorial on a login page without My_SQL. Anyway I am working on a easy login/logged out page with sessions. Here is the login page with tree users in an array. The things that I need some hints to solve is, when clicking on login the error message don't show. Instead the script goes to the logged in page right away. And when you write the wrong password you get loged in anyway. I am not sure how or if it's possible to write a varible to a file this way. But I tried and recived a parse error with the txt varible. When searching for topics I get more confused with the My_SQL varibles. I am near a breaking point at cracking the first step on PHP, but need some advice. <?php $page_title = 'Logged in'; //Dynamic title include('C:/wamp/www/PHP/includes/header.html'); ?> <?php session_start(); //A array for the sites users with passwords $users = array( 'Dexter'=>'meow1', 'Garfield'=>'meow2', 'Miro'=>'meow3' ); //A handle to save the varible users to file on a new line from the last entry $handle = fopen("newusers.txt, \n\r") $txt = $users; fclose($handle); if(isset($_GET['logout'])) { $_SESSION['username'] = ''; header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); } if(isset($_POST['username'])) { if($users[$_POST['username']] == $_POST['password']) { $_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username']; }else { echo "Something went wrong, Please try again"; } } ?> <?php echo "<h3>Login</h3>"; echo "<br />"; ?> <!--A legend form to login--> <fieldset><legend>Fill in your username and password</legend> <form name="login" action="777log.php" method="post"> Username: <br /> <input type="text" name="username" value="" /><br /> Password: <br /> <input type="password" name="password" value="" /><br /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login" /> </fieldset> </form> <?php //Footer include file include('C:/wamp/www/PHP/includes/footer.html'); ?> The logged in page <?php //Header $page_title = 'Reading a file'; include('C:/wamp/www/PHP/includes/header.html'); ?> <?php session_start(); //Use an array forthe sites users $users = array( 'Dexter'=>'meow1', 'Garfield'=>'meow2', 'Miro'=>'meow3' ); // if(isset($_GET['logout'])) { $_SESSION['username'] = ''; echo "You are now loged out"; //The user is loged out and returned to the login page header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); } if(isset($_POST['username'])) { //Something goes wrong here when login without any boxes filled if($users[$_POST['username']] == $_POST['password']) { $_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username']; }else { echo "Something went wrong, Please try again"; $redirect = "Location: 777.php"; } } ?> <?php if($_SESSION['username']): ?> <p><h2>Welcome <?=$_SESSION['username']?></h2></p> <p align="right"><a href="777.php">Logga ut</a></p><?php endif; ?> <p>Today Ben&Jerrys Chunky Monkey is my favorite!</p> <?php //Footer include('C:/wamp/www/PHP/includes/footer.html'); ?>

Hi all, I'm trying to build a simple shopping cart, there are only 8 products and I want to save the quantity value into a section for each product (product1, product2, etc). I'm having a problem where the I can't get the session value to increase by one if the same item is added to the cart again. Here is the code I have so far, am I missing something or is there a php setting that would cause this not to work. <?php session_start(); // setup if(!isset($_SESSION['product1'])) $_SESSION['product1'] = 0; if(!isset($_SESSION['product2'])) $_SESSION['product2'] = 0; if(!isset($_SESSION['product3'])) $_SESSION['product3'] = 0; if(!isset($_SESSION['product4'])) $_SESSION['product4'] = 0; if(!isset($_SESSION['product5'])) $_SESSION['product5'] = 0; if(!isset($_SESSION['product6'])) $_SESSION['product6'] = 0; if(!isset($_SESSION['product7'])) $_SESSION['product7'] = 0; if(!isset($_SESSION['product8'])) $_SESSION['product8'] = 0; // add product if(mysql_escape_string($_GET['add']) != '') { $addItem = mysql_escape_string($_GET['add']); $_SESSION["product$addItem"] = $_SESSION["product$addItem"] + 1; } echo "product$addItem = ".$_SESSION["product$addItem"]; ?> Thanks!

Hello users: I am exploring the delightful world of PHP for web applications. I am in the stage where I need to use SESSIONS and COOKIES and MYSQL for a user/membership/profile structure. I understand most of the grammar behind PHP and am excited to apply this in application. I am searching for recommendations and comments about using: 1. COOKIES 2. SESSIONS 3. MYSQL/SQL Almost every website has an authentication mechanism, profile, and use information. My website required this similar structure, but I have been having some problems completing all of the technical steps for production. If anyone has code samples or places where I can review code on this topic, that would be wonderful. I am specifically searching for more advanced topics in these area for general robustness. Please kindly send me a message or respond to this post. Regards, Diamond

Hi, I have my login system working fine with sessions. Now I want to use access levels. So if user 1 with access level 1 logs in, he redirects to profile.php. If user 2 with access level 2 logs in, he redirects to main_stats.php. Here is what I have so far for my login.php, however it is not reading the $user_id nor the $access_id: http://codepad.viper-7.com/Ck0Tsr Wondering if anyone can help?

There are lots of discussions about this topic online. My issue wasn't subdomain sessions being recognized by the primary domain (and vice versa), but rather just a subdomain handling things at all. You set something in the subdomain, refresh the page, and then the thing was unset. Here's what I currently have: session_name( "blah" ); ini_set( "session.cookie_domain", '.dev.example.com' ); session_set_cookie_params( 0, '/', '.dev.example.com', true, true ); setcookie( session_name(), session_id(), 0, '/' , '.example.com' ); session_start(); Things that were required, apparently: 1) Session name 2) setcookie Now with this setup, I can do this: start session in dev.example.com, access it in subsub.dev.example.com, go back and forth... session holds as expected. But what I cannot do, is: start session in subsub.dev.example.com, refresh page, have the session data hold. So lots of questions. Obviously the most important: why doesn't a session hold when I start the session in the subsub domain? Why is a session name required? (Is it?) Why is setcookie required when all I want to do is start a session? (Is it?) I don't use this step if it's a single-domain type of setup.

I'm editing the Woocommerce e-mail files, and have got a session working. When it's echoed on the e-mail it appears as expected - "1 Day Health & Safety Awareness Chelmsford". However the if statement is not working. This is shown below, can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? if (strpos($_SESSION['ahsname'], 'safety awareness') !== false) { // This is what I want to happen, the session should (and does) contain the string shown above //include( get_template_directory() . '/instructions/chelmsford-hsa-ahs.html'); echo "YES"; }else{ // This should not happen but it does! echo "NO "; echo $_SESSION['ahsname']; // the session is echoed with the bit I'm checking for included as mentioned above }

Hi all ! I have an index file which begins as <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); define('INCLUDE_CHECK',true); require_once 'fran_load.php'; session_start(); // works fine with session_start() //sess_start(); // was working fine earlier but is now problematic header("Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only: default-src 'self' img-src 'self' data: https://www.google.com/ https://ajax.googleapis.com/ https://www.gstatic.com/ http://localhost/xampp/franchisee/; report-uri http://localhost/xampp/franchisee/reports/reportcspviolation.php"); // mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT); $mysqliDriver = new mysqli_driver(); $mysqliDriver->report_mode = MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT; $timezone = "Asia/Calcutta"; if(function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) date_default_timezone_set($timezone); // set_exception_handler('exception_handler'); . . . and an email activation request page.verifymail.php which begins as <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); session_start(); header("Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only content=default-src 'self' https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/"); define('INCLUDE_CHECK',true); require_once 'fran_load.php'; /* echo "<pre>"; echo $_SESSION['user_token']; echo "</pre>"; exit(); */ $message = ''; $terminate = false; . . . sess_start() is function sess_start() { $session_name = 'sec_session_id'; // Set a custom session name $secure = false; // Set to true if using https. $httponly = true; // This stops javascript being able to access the session id. ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1); // Forces sessions to only use cookies. $cookieParams = session_get_cookie_params(); // Gets current cookies params. session_set_cookie_params($cookieParams["lifetime"], $cookieParams["path"], $cookieParams["domain"], $secure, $httponly); // 0, /, ''. session_name($session_name); // Sets the session name to the one set above. session_start(); // Start the php session } Earlier all seemed to work well, but suddenly there is an issue. On submitting the form with action = "verifymail.php" which sends from the index.php to verifymail.php, i find that the $_SESSION variable is blank, thereby not maintaining the session on that page. I am setting some session variables in the form before it is submitted. I commented out sess_start() on index.php and simply used session_start() and all seems to work fine. I would like to use sess_start, since I am setting the cookie timeout and other values therein, if I can. Please can someone suggest why this is happening and how it can be overcome to use sess_start(). Thanks all.

Hi, The 'admin' section of my website stopped working a couple of months ago and I'm just trying to fix it - I was getting an error about Session_Register being deprecated and I'm now trying to knife and fork my way around it with results from various google searches. I'm an advanced SQL user but only occasionally dabble with PHP so any help would be appreciated. So, basic set up, login page checks credentials against the DB, a session cookie is set and you're let into the admin area - my script is looping me back to the login page as my !isset is true.....because I can't figure out how to set it with the new functions! This is the login include..... <?php $host="database.lcn.com"; // Host name $username="blahblah"; // Mysql username $password="blahblah"; // Mysql password $db_name="blahblah_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['username']; $mypassword= md5($_POST['pass']); // 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); $sql="SELECT * FROM users WHERE is_obv = '1' and username='$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 $mypassword, table row must be 1 row if($count==1){ // Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php" $_SESSION['username'] = $myusername; $_SESSION['pass'] = $mypassword; header("location:../admin"); } else { header("location:http://www.web.co.uk/ooops"); } ?> and this is the 'login_success' include that I include on each protected page.... <? session_start(); if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])){ header("location:http://www.web.co.uk/login"); } ?> Darren
