php login page

[bm4499]

Hello,

 

Does anyone know how to deal with login?

 

Suppose I have detected a user logged in correctly with his User-id & password and thereafter a PHP page needs to be loaded BUT, however, a user must not be able to type the url of the php-page that must be access after proved user-id & password. How can I reach that?

 

with other words:

 

- after login is approved then http://www.myweb.com/provedusers/launchthis.php must be started AND without the right user-id & password the url http://www.myweb.com/provedusers/launchthis.php must be disabled....

 

Is this possible and how can this be reached?

 

thanks in advance,

 

perry

Hi buddy!

 

You can use mysql or some database to store username/password and other necessary information about users. Further the sessions can also be stored...

 

You need to know a good deal about databases for that friend.

yes, the best way is to create a session with the username of the user, then on pages that require being logged in you start the page with

if(empty($_SESSION['username'])){
echo "Please Login";
exit();
}
