[SOLVED] check if it is certain user and allow to go to page

[rallokkcaz]

if wanna make it so if the user "admin"

can only view a page without the whole system of 1s and 2s in the data base

would the code be something like:

if (isset($_session['username'] = 'admin'))
{

} else {

}

Please elaborate on your question. I don't quite get what you're asking. If you want an admin to log in first, use sessions.

[rallokkcaz]

i wann make it so only the user admin can view the page, and if your not admin then it sends you somewhere else.

[john010117]

You should make a login page, and use sessions to validate the user (which I think you're doing).

[ToonMariner]

you should perhaps look at storing a user level with each user adn this turorial is excellent for developing an access level system.

dont' be put off - read it a couple of times and you will see that its not anywhere near as difficult as you may think initially.

 

(the last page of the turial will show you how you can use it to allow/deny access to pages based on your login.)

i do have a login page with sessions and all that stuff its just that all i want is to know how i would make the code i posted above work :-\

At the top of every page (before any php or html code) that you only want the admin user to access put include("adminheader.php");

then the files needed are below. should work fine....ive used it in projects.goodluck!

 

 

adminheader.php------------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php

session_start(); // start session

if(!isset($_SESSION['username'] or $_SESSION['username']=='admin')) //check to see if the username is set in the session and if it ='admin'

{

include("logout.php"); //if its not set or wron user call logout.php

exit(); //exit

}

 

?>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

logout.php-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php

session_start();

session_unset();  //unset any session variable set

session_destroy(); //end the session

header("location:index.php"); //send them back to the login page or a home page

?>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if (isset($_session['username']) && strcmp($_session['username'],'admin') == 0)
{

} else {

}

just noted that you have $_session - make sure you use  $_SESSION.
