Staying logged in

enlighten · February 10, 2012

Hi guys,

Im building a website for a company http://www.eminence-logistics.co.uk and the client wants a log in system which im having problems with. The registration system is all working fine.

If you go to the website you can see where the login form is.

Now when the user isn't logged in i need the form to show, but when the user IS logged in i would like a message replacing the form saying welcome, along with a log out button.

How do i do this?

Thankyou very much

Set a variable that you can use in your template to control which piece to display. eg:

<?php if ($UserLoggedIn): ?>  
   <h1>Welcome <?php echo $Username; ?></h1>
<?php else: ?>
   <form>
     <!-- show login form
   </form>
<?php endif; ?>

I been trying to use SESSIONS, how would you do it with these, because everything i seem to try it doesn't work

What have you tried? Can you post your code?

Tips: Very top of the page have

<?php
session_start();

After verifying user with from processing/DB query set desired values to session. Here's a basic sample with $error variable that can be echoed lower on the page. Be sure to use same encryption as you have in registration. MD5 shown here.

<?php
session_start();
$error="";
$username=mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['username']);
$mdpass=MD5($_POST['password']);
$query = "SELECT user_id,username FROM users WHERE password='$mdpass' AND username='$username'";   
$result = mysql_query($query);
$query_data = mysql_fetch_row($result);
   
  IF (!$query_data[0]) {
$error.="<span class=\"error\">Username and Password Don't match</span><br />";	
} ELSE {
$_SESSION['userid']=$query_data[0];
$_SESSION['username']=$query_data[1];
}
?>

Any information sent to browser needs to come after this.

Make sure you have session_start(); at the top of each page.

The general idea is to set a session flag when a user logs in. Something like,

$_SESSION['logged_in'] = true;

Once you do that you can load things based on whether a user is logged in or not like this

if ($_SESSION['logged_in'] === true) {
    // user is logged in
} else {
    // user is not logged in
}

At the moment i have this as my home page. and you can see where hte login form is, basically if the session is equal to 1 i want this bit to say welcome instead of the form if equal to null i want it to stay on same page but for the login form to show. Any thoughts?

<?PHP
session_start();
if (!(isset($_SESSION['login']) && $_SESSION['login'] != '')) {
header ("Location: login.php");
}
?>
