Login on same page

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

in my login page i redirect to a second page logincheck.php to check the details then redirect to the myaccount.php page when all is well, but i'm not sure how to put the code in the 1 page, because headers can't be sent twice error

 

login.php

 

<?php
  echo ("<table width=\"100%\"  border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" bordercolor=\"#FF0000\"> 
         <tr> 
         <td valign=\"top\">");
   
  ## login
  echo ("<form action=\"logincheck.php\" method=\"POST\">");
  echo ("<table class=\"tablesmain\" align=\"left\" width=\"300\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"0\">");
  echo ("<tr>");
  echo ("<td class=\"header_boxes\" colspan=\"2\" align=\"left\"><span class=\"header_txt\">Members Login</span></td>");
  echo ("</tr>");
  echo ("<tr>");
  echo ("<td align=\"right\"><b>Username:</b></td><td align=\"left\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"username\"></td>");
  echo ("</tr>");
  echo ("<tr>");
  echo ("<td align=\"right\"><b>Password:</b></td><td align=\"left\"><input type=\"password\" name=\"password\"></td>");
  echo ("</tr>");
  echo ("<tr>");
  echo ("<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"right\">[<a class=\"foot_links\" href=\"recoverpassword.php\">FORGOT PASSWORD</a>]  <input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Login\"></td>");
  echo ("</tr>");
  echo ("</table></form>");
  
  ## new table cell data
  echo ("</td>");
  echo ("<td valign=\"top\" align=\"left\">");
  echo ("<ul>");
  echo ("<li>Search performers by location</li>");
  echo ("<li>Send unlimited messages</li>");
  echo ("<li>Leave comments on performers profiles</li>");
  echo ("<li>Rate your fellow members</li>");
  echo ("<li>Write your own blog</li>");
  echo ("<li><b>Plus MUCH more join today!</b></li>");
  echo ("<li><a class=\"foot_links\" href=\"register.php\">Not a member yet? sign up here!</a></li>");
  echo ("</ul>");
  //echo ("<br />");
  echo ("<img src=\"images/placeholder.jpg\">");
  
  ## end html tables
  echo ("</td> 
         </tr> 
         </table>");
?>
<?php
     // include the footer...////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     include("includes/footer.php");
?>

 

 

logincheck.php

 

<?php
  require("includes/db_connection.php");
  
  ## The all important post variables
  $var_username = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['username']));
  $var_password = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['password']));
  
  ## blank submission
  if(empty($var_username) || empty($var_password)) {
  
  echo '<div align="center" style="border: 1px solid black;padding:10px; background: yellow; color: #000000; font-size: 14px;"><b>You never filled in both fields, please fill them both in.</b></div><br />';
  exit;	
  
  }
  
  $q = "SELECT `id`,`username`,`password` FROM `users` WHERE `username`='$var_username' AND `password`='$var_password' LIMIT 1";
  $r = mysql_query($q);
  $row = mysql_fetch_array($r);
  
  $any_results = mysql_num_rows($r);
  
  if($any_results != 1) {
  
  echo '<div align="center" style="border: 1px solid black;padding:10px; background: yellow; color: #000000; font-size: 14px;"><b>We can\'t find that username/password combination in the database, please re-check your login details.</b></div><br />';
  exit;	
     
 } else {

  ## update the login timer
  $var_update_time_query = mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `lastlogin` = now() WHERE `username`='$var_username' AND `password`='$var_password'");

  ## There was a result back
  session_start(); 
  $_SESSION['id'] = $row['id'];
  $_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
  $_SESSION['loggedin'] = 'yes'; 
  
  ## redirect to members page
  header("Location:myaccount.php"); 

  }
?>

 

is there any way around this or will i just need to stick with the 2 pages?

 

thanks guys

at the top of your first page put

 

 

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
/do the processing of logincheck.php
exit();
}

 

That says if the value of $_POST which is the form method value of submit which is your button is sent then process the data

Hi Mate,

 

what i was trying to do also is keep the layout of the site the same, if i did that i would need to echo out the page header (html) then redirect them to myaccount.php

 

cheers
