Login system which redirects to different pages...?

[sohrabdvr]

Hey everyone,

 

How can I make a Login system which redirects to different pages depending on usernames...? like username1 goes to 1.php, user2 goes to 2.php and so on.

What technologies should I know? SQL? PHP?....?

 

Thanks

I recommend to learn both...You can use any of them (PHP or SQL) depending on what you want to do, but thats up to you.

 

A PHP script would look like this:

<?php

if($user == $user1)
{
//Page where "user1" will be redirected
} else {
//If the person is not "user1" he/she will be redirected here
}

?>

However you authenticate your user's creds simply redirect them to a particular location. The resulting url will be entirely up to your application design.  You would never actually have real files for each user. Instead you make one user home page with dynamic content based on the username provided.

 

#pseudo code

if authenticated store username in a session
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
redirect to /mypage.php?friend=$_SESSION['username']
