Redirect users to a certin directory using php with htaccess

[arcangel]

I would like to know if its possible when a user log's into a directory using htaccess that the user based on the username entered it they can be redirected to there user directory using php and htaccess.

 

For example user go's to http://blah.com/client

 

Client enters Joe username and password for htaccess on the directory

Client Joe is then redirected to http://blah.com/client/joe directory 

 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

If I were to do something like this, I wouldn't be using htaccess at all. Just use PHP to re-direct the user to their directory:

 

 

//Get the users username by whatever means. This is a simple example of just grabbing it straight from the form POST.
$username = $_POST['username'];
header('Location: http://blah.com/client/'.$username);

 

That should work fine.

Be sure to require the login for /client/joe too.

Thanks

 

So i would just add that into the index.php file for each user that i wanted to redirect to a directory?

ok i see what your daying create a login page then include that and not use htaccess that seems to work out better

 

Thanks
