Index.htm going to login page and sending back to index page

[ghosh]

Hello,

This is what I intend to do.

 

1: A visitors visits a.html page. decides to login and post comment. goes to login page and logs in then I want to send him back to a.html page how do I do that? Here is my login page and login.php page.

 

2: Same as above but I want to send them back after some time... while I make them view the error, why they have not been able to login.

 

<?php
session_start();
include "connect.php";
?>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
  	$emailid=$_POST['email'];  //Email id and password should be checked against the database.
  	$password=$_POST['password'];
$password=md5($password);
  	$getuser="SELECT * from a_users where email='$emailid' and passkey='$password' and validated='1'";
  	$getuser2=mysql_query($getuser) or die("Could not query for user");
  	$getuser3=mysql_fetch_array($getuser2);
  		if((strlen($getuser3[email])<1)||$getuser3[validated]==0)
  			{
    		header(Location:"http://www.myplanet.co.in/home/members/invalid-username-password.php";
		}
	else if($getuser3[isbanned]=="yes")
  			{
    		print "Your account has been banned. <br><br><br> <center>For more information contact webmaster: helpdesk@myplanet.co.in<br><br><br><br>copyright myplanet</center>";
  			}
	else
  			{
		$_SESSION['email']=$emailid;   //Once the email ID and password has been varified.
			if(isset($_SESSION['email']))
				{
					 $emailid=$_SESSION['email']; //retriving user name against the given email ID.
  					 $getusername="SELECT * from a_users where email='$emailid'";
  					 $getusername2=mysql_query($getusername) or die("Could not get user name");
  					 $getusername3=mysql_fetch_array($getusername2);
                                         $username=$getusername3['username'];
				 }				
			else
				{
				echo "ALERT: USER NAME DOES NOT EXIST";	 
    				}

		$path = '/folder/';
		$hostname = 'myplanet.co.in';
		setcookie('myplanet', $username, $emailid, $path, $hostname);		//setting cookie for storing email ID and Password.

		}
}			
  ?>

 

Hope you dont mind me putting the domain name as it is!

 

Thanks,

You partially did it with the headers to transfer to the invalid login stuff.

 

Just place another header with the URL at the area where it is a successful login to modify the header to another page.

goes to login page and logs in then I want to send him back to a.html page how do I do that?

 

You will not be able to sustain a login within a html page unless your server is setup to handle *.html files as php.

ok, you mean to say i send him to a simple age where he learns the status and send him back but how do I know from which web address he came from. In a website there could be many page from where he can visit the login.php page!!

 

Alternatively, is there any ways I can make him wait in a page for some time before sending him to another?

 

Thanks for helping me.

Ok, I will keep all my pages as php but isn't it php files are bigger in size than html and loads late?

here is the forum which I am using. which is not working. The page is continuously getting refreshed and multiple similar comments are getting added. Redirection is also not working.

<?php
//create the form to submit comments
//you can add more fields, but make sure you add them to the db table and the page, submitcomment.php
        echo "<a name=\"post\"><div id=\"submitcomment\" class=\"submitcomment\">
<form name=\"submitcomment\" method=\"post\" action=\"submitcomment.php\" onSubmit=\" return form_Validator(this)\">
<table width=\"100%\">
                <tr>
                                <th colspan=\"2\"><h3 class=\"formtitle\">Leave your comment:</h3></th>
                </tr>
                <tr>

                                <th scope=\"row\"><p class=\"req\">Name:</p></th>
                                <td><input class=\"form\" tabindex=\"1\" id=\"name\" name=\"name\" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                                <th scope=\"row\"><p class=\"opt\">Email:</p></th>
                                <td><input class=\"form\" tabindex=\"2\" id=\"email\" name=\"email\" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>

                                <th scope=\"row\"><p class=\"opt\">URL:</p></th>
                                <td><input class=\"form\" tabindex=\"3\" id=\"url\" name=\"url\" /></td>
                </tr>
                <tr valign=\"top\">
                                <th scope=\"row\"><p class=\"req\">Comments:</p><br /></th>
                                <td><textarea class=\"formtext\" tabindex=\"4\" id=\"message\" name=\"message\" rows=\"10\" cols=\"50\"></textarea></td>
                </tr>

                <tr>    
                                <td> </td>
                                <td><input type=\"submit\" name=\"post\" class=\"submit\" value=\"Submit Comment\" /><br />
                                <p>Note:  Emails will not be visible or used in any way, and are not required.  Please keep comments relevant. Any content deemed inappropriate or offensive may be edited and/or deleted. </p>

</td>
                </tr>
</table>
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"tuturl\" value=\"$tuturl\" /> 
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"tutid2\" value=\"$tutid2\" />
</form>


</div>
";
}
?>

This is the submit comment.php

<?php
//Please set the following variables for your mysql database:
$db_hostname = "localhost";  //usually "localhost be default"
$db_username = "";  //your user name
$db_pass = "";  //the password for your user
$db_name = "";  //the name of the database


/*MYSQL DATABASE CONNECTION/ TRACKING FUNCTIONS
--------------------------------------*/
// connect to database
$dbh = mysql_connect ($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_pass) or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ($db_name);


$tuturl = $_POST["tuturl"];
$tutid2 = $_POST["tutid2"];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$url = $_POST["url"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];

$sendcomment = mysql_query("INSERT INTO comments SET tutorialid='$tutid2', name='$name', url='$url', email='$email', comment='$message', date=now()");
if($sendcomment){
//header("Location: $tuturl");
echo "<h1>Submission Successful</h1>";
echo "Your comment has been submitted.  You will now be redirected back to the last page you visited.  Thanks!";
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='2;URL=$tuturl'>";
} else {
echo "There was an error with the submission. ";
}

?>

 

 

I would appreciate if some one can figure out the mistake!
