Hiding login form and its div after user logged in

[edgarasm]

Hi there php freaks im looking at hiding a login form at the index page ,so once the user logs in if he decides to click on home/index page ,he wont see login form again untill he logs out 

 

my index page code

<?php include 'header.php'; ?>
<link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href="http://www.tugapay.com/webicon.png"
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
<link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="/startup.png">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />

	<div id="content">
		<div class="container inner">

			<form action="/account/index.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
			<form action="loginprocess.php" method="POST">
			<form action="/account/register.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">	
				<div class="one_third">
					<label>Email Address: </label>
					<input type="text" id="login_email" name="login_email" spellcheck="false">

				</div>
				
				<div class="one_third" style="padding-top: 0px;">

<?php include 'footer.php'; ?>

And this is my loginprocess code

<?php
$email = $_POST('login_email');
$pass = md5($_POST['password']);

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE login_email = '$email' AND login_password = '$pass' AND activation IS NULL");
$data = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);


if mysql_num_rows($query)
?>

Also another problem im getting is when i click to login it redirects me to another login page which is in another folder  which i have and i want it to redirect me to dashboard

 

anyone out there could help  me with this nonsense?

Hi edgarasm,

Is your HTML code complete? I am a bit confused as I can see three open form tags each pointing to different php script. One more thing, it is not secure to use user provided inputs directly in your SQL statement. 

[edgarasm]

yes this is my php code for the main page and then a process page for the login and afterwards it redirects me to my secondary login screen .what you would suggest about sql statement ?

thanks

[edgarasm]

what would  i have to do to rewrite all my queries in pdo ?

Have you thought about instead of hiding the form replace it with text that says something like logged in(as this may be unclear to the user) or a unordered list with user accounts settings and  logout links ect..
This can be easily achieve by making a global function for the logged in session, something along the lines of this

function logged_in() {
	return (isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) ? true : false;
}

I personally make the login form within a include php file, and then within that file I reference to files, loggedin.php(holds the div that has user settings and logout functionality) and login.php that obviously holds the login form and other php scripts for the login itself. The file that will hold all those included files is normally the same that checks the session. Ill give an example using the logged_in function included..

<div class="login">
<?php
	if (logged_in() == true) {
		include 'includes/loggedin.php';
	} else {
		include 'includes/login_form.php';
	}
?>
</div>

This is a very simple example so excuse me if its very roughly drafted.

Hope this helps
