redirect loop for member system

[nade93]

Hi All

 

I am using the following method to check if user is logged in to a member area. However, I ahve a password change section that then redirects back the the password change page within the logged in area. After password changes it automatically redirects back to the index page rather than password page and comes up with a redirect error (too many redirects)

 

How can i change the code to match the new change in password. I think its a sessions problem but not great with sessions!

if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site']))
{
    $username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site'];
    $pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site'];
    $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM member_users WHERE email = '$username'")or die(mysql_error());
    while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))
    {
	$usernameid=$info['username'];
$userid = $info['id'];
$firstname = $info['fname'];
$lastname = $info['lname'];
        //if the cookie has the wrong password, they are taken to the login page
        if ($pass != $info['password'])
        { 
            header("Location: index.php");
        }
        //otherwise they are shown the admin area
        else
        {
            echo "<div class=\"memberloginactive\">Welcome $firstname | Your Profile | <a href=\"edit-profile.php?id=$userid\">Edit Profile</a> | <a href=\"logout.php\">Logout</a></div><div class=\"clear\"></div>";
        }
    }
}
else

hi

 

above is the latest code as reverted back when all others seems to break the login system totally

 

i know its a session manipulation but apart from that i am stuck!

there is no reference to sessions in your code. are we missing part of the code in your post?
