twsowerby Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hi all, I've been playing around with strstr and str_replace to try and check if the current page is a restricted area of the site. I'm getting a bit frustrated because I'm new to this and not sure why its not working. I think I've just been staring at ti for too long now, so if anyone can help me out that would be awesome. $current = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; // If in users if(strstr($current, '/users/')) { $current = str_replace("users/", "", $current); $current = strtolower($current); // users/ resitricted pages if($current == 'userarea.php' || $current == 'logout.php' || $current == 'deleteproduct.php' || $current == 'deleteproductc.php' || $current == 'changeproductstatus.php' || $current == 'index.php') { checkIsLoggedIn(); checkSession(); } } My folder structure for the users folder is as follows: localhost/sites/fyp/htdocs/users/ I have got myself into a bit of a muddle here and I can't figure out how to fix it. There are no errors, its just not restricting access to the pages it should.

AP81 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I'm not quite sure why are taking this approach, it would seem more sensible to include a file on each of the restricted pages which does the authentication, i.e. In area.php you would include a file called authenticate.php <?php require_once('authenticate.php'); ?> <html> <head> ... authenticate.php would need to include the checkIsLoggedIn(); and checkSession(); functions. This way you don't have to hard code any page names.
