php user login

[ctdesignz]

Hi i am new to php and am looking for help. I am wanting to create a user log in with PHP but i want to create it in a way that each user has his or her own personal account page. So for example John Doe logs in and automatically comes up to his account info. That no one can see but him. Same goes with any other user.

 

Thanks so much

After you have followed the tutorial, use this tutorial to select data from a table

Login

 

Ok this is somthing i already have had, but the tutorial i didnt see where you can specifiy diffrent user accounts. Because i wanted a particular user to go to his or her personal account. How do you login and then go to a particular page. Such as myaccountchad.php or like another user myaccountjulie.php?

 

<?php

// Connects to your Database

mysql_connect("", "", "") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("users.sql") or die(mysql_error());

 

//Checks if there is a login cookie

if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site']))

 

//if there is, it logs you in and directes you to the members page

{

$username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site'];

$pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site'];

$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error());

while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))

{

if ($pass != $info['password'])

{

}

else

{

header("Location: members.php");

 

}

}

}

 

//if the login form is submitted

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // if form has been submitted

 

// makes sure they filled it in

if(!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass']) {

die('You did not fill in a required field.');

}

// checks it against the database

 

if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {

$_POST['email'] = addslashes($_POST['email']);

}

$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."'")or die(mysql_error());

 

//Gives error if user dosen't exist

$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);

if ($check2 == 0) {

die('That user does not exist in our database. <a href=add.php>Click Here to Register</a>');

}

while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))

{

$_POST['pass'] = stripslashes($_POST['pass']);

$info['password'] = stripslashes($info['password']);

$_POST['pass'] = md5($_POST['pass']);

 

//gives error if the password is wrong

if ($_POST['pass'] != $info['password']) {

die('Incorrect password, please try again.');

}

else

{

 

// if login is ok then we add a cookie

$_POST['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']);

$hour = time() + 3600;

setcookie(ID_my_site, $_POST['username'], $hour);

setcookie(Key_my_site, $_POST['pass'], $hour);

 

//then redirect them to the members area

header("Location: members.php");

}

}
