[SOLVED] Authentication in Function

[SkyRanger]

Not sure how to do this.

 

This is what I have:

 

include_once("config.php");

// Check user logged in already:
checkLoggedIn("yes");
doCSS();
print("Welcome to the members page <b>".$_SESSION["login"]."</b><br>\n");
print("<a href=\"logout.php"."\">Logout</a>");

 

I need to figure out some way to add it to this:

 

function main() {

php/mysql code here

}

function board {

more php/mysql code here
}

switch($board)
{
        default:
        main();
        break;

case "board";
board($oid);
break;
}

 

How would I get the top code to work in the functions?

 

I keep getting errors like: Notice: Undefined variable: board

[trq]

Sorry, but none of that code makes much sense.

Any variables that are in a function, are just that. Only in the function. unless they are specifically passed to it. to get a variable from out of the function, use this.

 

function test($var){
global $var1
echo $var1 

echo $var
}

 

I don't need to do it for $var, because it was passed to the function when called.

Hope that helps.

Umm... not sure what you are trying to do here, but I am guessing that you want to have a forum, and in this forum separate boards. I am going to spell this out as detailed as possible.

 

Ex, the forum structure:

 

YOUR FORUM
   (1) General
   (2) Another
   (3) Another Board

 

If the URL is "index.php", then it would show main(), which is just a listing of these boards. If $oid is set ("index.php?$board=board&oid="), then it would do board($oid), and board() would display the forum board that corresponds to $oid. Ex. If $oid was 1 then based on the example forum structure above board() would display the General forum. Am I right so far?

 

You really don't need the $board variable, based on what I'm seeing.

 

Your code, based on this, may look something like this in the end:

 

include_once("config.php");


function main() {

global $whatever_vars_from_config_you_need

if (checkLoggedIn("yes")){

   doCSS();

   print("Welcome to the members page <b>".$_SESSION["login"]."</b><br>\n");

   print("<a href=\"logout.php"."\">Logout</a>");

}else{

   print("You are not logged in.");

}

}


function board($oid) {


// Code to display the board that corresponds with $oid, probably from a database. Also, tests (checkLoggedIn("yes")) to see if they are logged in or not.


}


switch($board)

{

        default:

        main();

        break;


	case "board";

	board($oid);

	break;

}

Sorry if I can't be more help, but you are being pretty vague :/

Ok, I will try to explain this a little better.  What I am trying to do is:

 

1) Main PHP Page with Login

 

2) postit board I am currently working on with is the

 

//code placed on the top of all php pages you want secure

include_once("config.php");

// Check user logged in already:
checkLoggedIn("yes");
doCSS();
print("Welcome to the members page <b>".$_SESSION["login"]."</b><br>\n");
print("Your password is: <b>".$_SESSION["password"]."</b><br>\n");
print("<a href=\"logout.php"."\">Logout</a>");

 

When the user logs in they are then sent to for example the page below: office.php

 

which would be http://domain.com/office.php

 

function main(){

$query = "SELECT users.*, office.* FROM users, office where id = omid ORDER BY `oid` DESC";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Query failed");
//let's get the number of rows in our result so we can use it in a for loop
$numofrows = mysql_num_rows($result);

....
stuff pulled from mysql

with a link to ?board=board&oid=".$row['oid']."\">

}

function board($oid){

more stuff here pulled from mysql with oid='$oid'
}

switch($board)
{
        default:
        main();
        break;

case "board";
board($oid);
break;
}

 

This is the config.php file

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);


include_once("functions.php");


session_register("login");
session_register("password");
session_register("loggedIn");


$messages=array();

include "inc/dbinfo.inc.php";

$dbhost="$dblocation";
$dbuser="$dbusername";
$dbpass="$dbpassword";
$dbname="$dbname";


connectToDB();

 

What I need is the top block of code to be inserted somehow into the function main() and function($oid) board and all the other function  whatever() that I have in the script.

 

I hope that is a little more clearer on what I am trying to do.

This was becoming too complicated for myself because I an still a really big noob to php so I decided to separate the file into separate pages till I learn more.  Thanks all for all of your help.
