Help with login.. works at home but not at school

[TheJoey]

<?php 
session_start();
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$lines = file("data/users.txt",FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES); // read the lines into an array
$find = "$username:$password"; // form a string like you expect it to be in the array
if(in_array($find,$lines)){
   $_SESSION['loginsuccessfull'] = true;  # If successfull
   header("location: loginsuccess.php");  # redirect to this page
} else {								  # Else redirect to
  header("location: loginunsuccess.php"); # this page
}
?>

 

im completly stuck and have no idea why its not working..

school doesn't support cookies maybe? and your session id is storing in cookies unless you set it up to work with GET vars

[TheJoey]

i have a script that uses this

<?php

session_start();

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

if ($username == 'super' && $password == 'super')

{

$_SESSION['success'] = true;     

  header("location: adminsuccess.php"); 

} else {                         

  header("location: adminunsuccess.php");

}

?>

and it works fine

i just keep getting refered to unsuccess.

[TheJoey]

is there mabye another way i can go about doing this.

[TheJoey]

Could it be a different version of php?

Are you certain it's the redirect on that page that is redirecting your client and not code on your adminsuccess.php page?

[TheJoey]

works fine at home but when i take it to school theres issues

[cags]

Whats your point? We already know that as you wrote it in the topic title. As has already been pointed out to you the most likely problem is that the client at school doesn't support cookies. If your adminsuccess.php has any redirects on it for if $_SESSION['success'] != true, which I would sincerely hope it has. If the client PC doesn't have cookies enabled then as soon as you arrive at adminsuccess.php you would be redirected away.

thats where im confused, my admin is working fine, its my registered users that cant login.

And there using both very similar scripts and both are using sessions.

[cags]

If your admin is working fine, and it's your registered users that can't login, why in gods name did you post a section of code which blatantly appears to refer to the admin with the title "Help with login.. works at home but not at school".

[TheJoey]

the first code snippet is the code that wont work..

the second snippet is the code that does work.

[cags]

Ah right, I see.

 

The code that's at fault is undoubtedly the code that isn't in both scripts then...

 

$lines = file("data/users.txt",FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES); // read the lines into an array
$find = "$username:$password"; // form a string like you expect it to be in the array
if(in_array($find,$lines)){

 

Have you tried print_r($lines); to see what the $lines array actually contains?
