Trouble with session

Snooble · January 30, 2007

Hello people,

I want to show the user his/her name once logged in. The log in works fine but it's creating the session variables that i need to do. And also i need to know what to put at the top of every page of my site. session_start(); and what else.

The idea is so i can create an if statement. Something like

[code]<?php
if($_SESSION['myemail']){;
echo "You are logged in/n Click here to log out"
}else{
echo "Click here to log in /n Click here to register"
}
?>[/code]

When i do run a statement like that i will ALWAYS recieve the else statement. eg. Click here to log in /n Click here to register

So i assume i'm not carrying variables or possibly not carrying sessions?

Thank you for looking. Pages beneath are my login form, my check login, and my registration form.

"login.php"

Now you can have a good look at the site and what i want to achieve.

I just want the fields to be carried around the site at all times when they are logged in. I will make a log out button using session_destroy();

Thank you and i hope this information makes it clearer.

putting only session_start(); on very top of pages does not help if u do not register the variable. You may use setcookie function to echo it if u want...so tat it looks more "personalized" to user...:) check it out in this forum wheteher this prob has been encountered b4 and solved here...

Right. The information i need is in the mysql table. When someone is logged in. I want to be able to access the rest of the information in the row. Eg

table looks like

email password address no. address street county/state country .etc

when they log in with "email" and "password" how can i print their address to them?

is just like retriving data using mysql_fetch_array or mysql_fectch_assoc or u may list it as

list ($userid, $useraddress, $phone, $email )= mysql_fetch_array("select * FROM user where username=$userid");

I get a blank page trying to echo

$_SESSION['myemail'];

or

$myemail

I want this page to echo the users email:

[code]<?
// Check if session is not registered , redirect back to main page.
// Put this code in first line of web page.
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(myemail)){
header("location:loginotd.php");
}
else{
list ($myemail, $mypassword, $fname, $sname )= mysql_fetch_array("select * FROM web_members where Email=$myemail");
echo "";
}
?>
[/code]

Here is the login check:

[code]<?php
$host="**********"; // Host name
$username="********"; // Mysql username
$password="********"; // Mysql password
$db_name="********"; // Database name
$tbl_name="web_members"; // Table name

// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

// username and password sent from signup form
$myemail=$_POST['myemail'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE Email='$myemail' and Password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);

// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myemail and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row

if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $myemail and redirect to file "login_success.php"
$_SESSION['myemail'] = $myemail;
$_SESSION['mypassword'] = $mypassword;
$_SESSION['fname'] = $fname;
$_SESSION['sname'] = $sname;
$_SESSION['addno'] = $addno;
$_SESSION['addone'] = $addone;
header("location:login_success.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
?>
[/code]

Someone, Please!????

you're using mysql_fetch_array() wrong. Turn on error reporting!

Snooble · January 30, 2007

Apologies
