Redirecting after login ?????

[andrew_biggart]

can anyone tell me how to redirect to the page you were currently on, after you login???

[MadTechie]

you can use JS, HTML or PHP

the PHP one is

header("Location: newpage.php");

 

 

[andrew_biggart]

yea im using php but im just wondering do u use variables or ids or what so that after u log in it redirects you to the page u were viewing before you had to log in

[MadTechie]

basically you need to grab the details before redirecting to the login page then when the login is check redirect to that page

basic example

 

<?php
session_start();
//check if the user is logged in
if($isLoggedInn)
{
$_SESSION['page'] = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header("Location: login.php");
}
?>

 

 

<?php
session_start();
//blar
//logged in
header("Location: ".$_SESSION['page']);
?>

ok i semi understand haha

rite im using the following codes

 

my check login code is

 

<?php

 

                include ("config.php");

 

 

// username and password sent from form

$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];

$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];

 

// 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 $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";

$result=mysql_query($sql);

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

$userid = $row['user_id'];

$userav = $row['user_avatar'];

$name = $row['name'];

 

// 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

session_register("myusername");

session_register("mypassword");

$_SESSION['myusername'] = $myusername;

$_SESSION['myuserid'] = $userid;

$_SESSION['myname'] = $name;

$_SESSION['avatar'] = $userav;

header("location:my_account.php");

}

else {

echo "Wrong Username or Password";

}

?>

and to check for my session im usuing this code at the top of each page !!!

 

 

<?php

session_start();

if(!session_is_registered(myusername)){

header("location:registration_page.php");

}

?>

 

how do i intergrate this new code into my existing one then ???

 

Thanks very much by the way !!!

[MadTechie]

<?php
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(myusername))
{
$_SESSION['page'] = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "/" . $_SERVER['QUERYSTRING'] . "/";
header("location:registration_page.php");
exit();
}
?>

 

and update

      $_SESSION['myusername'] = $myusername;
      $_SESSION['myuserid'] = $userid;
      $_SESSION['myname'] = $name;
      $_SESSION['avatar'] = $userav;
      if(!empty($_SESSION['page'])) header("location:my_account.php");
      header("location: ".$_SESSION['page']);
exit();

u are actually a legend i wil test it now

[andrew_biggart]

ok its working to a cetain extent i redirects me to the rite page but its like myaccount.php//  any idea why??? this causes the page not to load correctly

[revraz]

if(!empty($_SESSION['page'])) header("location:my_account.php");

 

 

That's why

 

[andrew_biggart]

i still dont understand????

[MadTechie]

if(!empty($_SESSION['page'])) header("location:my_account.php");

 

That's why

i still dont understand????

erm.. me either..

 

anyways update

$_SESSION['page'] = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "/" . $_SERVER['QUERYSTRING'] . "/";

to

$_SESSION['page'] = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$_SESSION['page'] .=(!empty($_SERVER['QUERYSTRING'])?"/".$_SERVER['QUERYSTRING']."/":"";

 

should solve it,

 

it was just some quick code
