redirect after login

[eleven0]

I made simple log in using if statements.

 

	if (($name==loginname) && ($pw==password))
 echo "you are logged in";
else
 echo "Go away";

 

How do I redirect to some other page/id if the if statement is true.

 

also, i want that page to be accessible by only logging in.

header('Location: http://www.example.com/script_name.php');

exit;

He's echoing "you are logged in", header will fail.

If you mean that the user logs in from the "index page". and that if the user is logged in, show some texr, etc, else if the user is logged out, show login form, you will have to learn how to use sessions (or cookies, but sessions are more safe, i think)

 

something like this..

 

index.php

<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['online'])){
echo "Welcome $_SESSION['online']";
}
else{
?>

<form name="login_form" method="post" action="loginck.php">
 <input name="user" type="text">ID<br />
 <input name="pass" type="password">Password<br />
  <input type="submit" name="login" id="login" value="Login">
</form>
<?php
}
?>

 

and then the loginck.php should be something like this:

 

<?php
if (($_POST['user']==loginname) && ($_POST['pass']==password)){
$_SESSION['online'];
            header("location:index.php");
}
else{
echo "Go away";

 

If that is what you wanted, then here you go. else if you just wanted to redirect, you can just use the folowing code:

 

<?php
header("location:file.php or whatever");
?>
