brianbayer1 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 i wanna start a session per user from the time they login. i'm learning so i wanna write this myself. So, if i use a class to generate the page a member logs into, can i assume i have to $_POST the session id from page to page or is there a way i can do that in the class? I am afraid when generating new pages that the class will generate a new session id per instance of the class and i don't want that. here is the class i am using(basic i know), and then the code for the page created from it. page_class.php <?php // Page class class Page { // Declare a class member variable var $page; // declare session variable var $PHPSESSID; // The constructor function function Page() { $this->page = ''; } // Generates the top of the page function addHeader($title) { $this->page .= <<<EOD <html> <head> <title>$title</title> </head> <body> <table width="800" border="1" cellspacing="2" align="center"> <tr> <td colspan="2"><p> <h1 align="center">$title</h1> </td> </tr> EOD; } // add navigation function addNav($page1, $page2, $page3, $page4, $page5) { $this->page .= <<<EOD <tr> <td align='center' colspan='2'> <a href='$page1.php'>About Us</a> / <a href='$page2.php'>Contact</a> / <a href='$page3.php'>Register</a> / <a href='$page4.php'>Login</a> / <a href='$page5.php'>home</a> </td></tr> EOD; } // Adds some more text to the page function addContent($content) { $this->page .= <<<EOD <td>$content</td> </tr> EOD; } // adds an image function addImage($attribute, $image, $height, $width) { $this->page .= <<<EOD <tr> <td> <div align='$attribute'><p><img src='../images/$image.jpg' height='$height.px' width='$width.px'><p> </td> EOD; } // Generates the bottom of the page function addFooter($year, $copyright) { $this->page .= <<<EOD <tr><td colspan="2"> <div align="center">© $year $copyright</div> </td></tr></table> </body> </html> EOD; } // Gets the contents of the page function get() { return $this->page; } } ?> index.php created from page class <?php session_start(); // does session_start() carry the sess_id from page to page or // do i need to $_POST it from page to page??????? $username = $_SESSION['username']; $password = $_SESSION['password']; // members only area if ($_POST['logged'] = true) { echo "<b>Members Only Area</b><p>"; require_once 'page_class.php'; // Instantiate the Page class $webPage = new Page(); // Add the header to the page $webPage->addHeader('Know Your Enemy'); // add menu $webPage->addNav(about, contact, register, login, page); // add image $webPage->addImage(center, me, 200, 100); // Add something to the body of the page $webPage->addContent("<p align='center'>Welcome $username</p>\n"); // Add the footer to the page $webPage->addFooter(date('Y'), 'Shamrock Productions LLC'); // Display the page echo $webPage->get(); } else { $_POST['logged'] = !true; header("Location: http://localhost/test/login.php"); } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iarp Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 on your login page, when you call on the database table for the users info $query = "SELECT user_id, first_name, userlevel FROM tablenamehere WHERE (username='$un' AND password=SHA('$p'))"; $_SESSION['user_id'] = $row[0]; $_SESSION['first_name'] = $row[1]; $_SESSION['userlevel'] = $row[2]; session_name('whateveryouwanthere'); // this allows you to specify the sessions name and as long as you have both of these lines all the $_SESSION['']; data is accessible. session_start(); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
