[SOLVED] How to load specific url on log on

[scottreid1974]

Hi

I want to be able to have a user log on and then have a website automatically open that is specific to them, (one i have attached to their user name and password in a mysql database). I have ID, password, username,url stored in database rows.

All I can do at the minute is a normal logon script which automatically takes all accounts to the same page after logon-on.

For example, when user fred12, password - werryu logs on, i want to send him to www.yahoo.co.uk, and when user jane34, password - aserwg logs on, i want to send her to www.yell.com, and so on.

I cant get the forwarding bit of the logon to work.

Thanks

Scott

Thanks

When you get the rest of the info out of the database, get the url, and save it to a variable. The same way you get any info from your database.

Thanks, for your help so far, I dont mean to sound stupid, but  i am a total novice at this,

my MYSQL table is called 'users',
Can you suggest  some code on how to get the url out of the database and how  i save it as a variable, I am finding this hard work!

thanks

[Jessica]

There are tutorials on here for how to interact with the database, look under the beginners section.

hi again,

Do i use an array retrieve from the database, or is there something easier.

[Jessica]

You use an array for the row. Did you find the tutorial?

[scottreid1974]

I did find a tutorial on array's, however it does not make alot of sense,
I actually tried an array before with no success. I tried

$record = array('userID, 'username', password, 'access', 'url');

record = mysql_fetch_array($loginFoundUser);

the header part of the code was nonsense totally, hence why i'm stuck.

Do I retrieve the url specific to that logon name and password in an array, and how do i save it as seperate variable?, to recall in the header you showed above.


Thanks

Read this tutorial.

Again, if Iv misunderstood the question I apologise, otherwise:-

Do your login check etc..

If login is correct then:-

[code]header("Location: ".$row['url']);[/code]

If the login is correct then it will redirect that user to the URL which is stored in their field of the database.

  $password=$_POST['password'];
  $MM_fldUserAuthorization = "access";
