[SOLVED] Logging in

[jackel15]

I'm using $_SESSION to login and access my admin section. I have used this code before and it has worked. It is accepting the username and password, but kicking me back to the login page. All the admin pages check for your session and if not found then kick back to login.php.

 

Login Page code above doctype:

<?php

if(empty($_POST)) {
	$status = 'Please Enter Username and Password to Add, Edit and Remove Sermons.';
} else {
	$user = $_POST['user'];
	$pass = $_POST['pass'];

	$error_list = array();

		if(empty($user)) {
			$error_list[] = 'Please Enter Your Username';
		}

		if(empty($pass)) {
			$error_list[] = 'Please Enter Your Password';
		}

	if(empty($error_list)) {

			mysql_connect('','','');
			mysql_select_db('') or die('Could Not Connect to Database. Please email the webmaster at christensonmedia@gmail.com and try again later.');

			$sql = "SELECT id";
			$sql .= " FROM users";
			$sql .= " WHERE user='$user'";
			$sql .= " AND pass='$pass'";

			$result = mysql_query($sql);

			if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {

				session_start();
				$_SESSION['logged_in'] = true;
				header('Location: index.php');

			} else {
				$status .= 'The Username and Password you entered was invalid. Please Try again.';
			}



	} else {

		foreach($error_list as $error_message) {
			$status .= "$error_message<br />";
		}

	}

}
?>

 

Code for admin index:

<?php

session_start();

if($_SESSION['logged_in'] != true) {
header('Location: login.php');
} ?>

Try moving the "session_start()" to the top of the php on your login page, and try echo-ing the $_SESSION variable on admin.php check if it is even being set.

Hell you could null out the redirect on login.php and check if it is being set.

 

If the data is blank, try using a string or integer value rather then a boolean. I'm not 100% sure if those steps will work or even help. That's just the first ones I would take.

Change this around

 

<?php

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])) {
header('Location: login.php');
} ?>

I hope you know you left in your database details...

[jackel15]

wow, I don't feel stupid at all. 

[jackel15]

Still no luck. I've tried these things and session stays empty and doesnt echo anything. I have no clue what is happening.

[jackel15]

I put

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);

at the top of the page and its giving me these errors:

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/php_sessions/sess_bb2a139f2f0b0baa7f1838986834bc15, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /hermes/bosweb/web293/b2934/ipw.cocoafirstassembly/public_html/_admin/login.php on line 36

The path that PHP is configured to save sessions in does either not exist or is not writable/readable by the webserver.

[jackel15]

How do i get that straightened out?

[Daniel0]

Change session.save_path

[jackel15]

I've changed it to a folder that I've set up. What should the permissions be? It is giving me the same error.

 

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(//cocoafirstassembly.ipower.com:21//php_sessions/sess_bb2a139f2f0b0baa7f1838986834bc15//sess_bb2a139f2f0b0baa7f1838986834bc15, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /hermes/bosweb/web293/b2934/ipw.cocoafirstassembly/public_html/_admin/login.php on line 38

i used at the top of the login page:

$path = '//cocoafirstassembly.ipower.com:21//php_sessions/sess_bb2a139f2f0b0baa7f1838986834bc15/';
session_save_path($path);

 

folder structure:

 

index.php

_admin/index.php

_admin/login.php

_admin/logout.php

 

I'm trying to get to index.php in the admin folder, but when i get there, the login check at the top of the page is kicking me back to the login.php page.

 

session_start();

if($_SESSION['access'] != TRUE) {
header('Location: login.php');
}

 

[jackel15]

changing the path on every page I check for the session made it work. Thanks so much for your help. I would still be beating my brains out wondering what's going on if it wasn't for this forum. Thanks Again Daniel0.
