Maintenance Page

[rofl90]

How would you go about turning off your website, I mean I already have an option in my backend to specify maintenance, but to have it on each page as opposed to the outdated index, index2, mechanism, to check if the user is authenticated, and if not kill the script, but how would I do that without doubling my code, and inturn doubling my load time.

[unsider]

write login code, whatever, and check

 

if($session->logged_in){
// display site
} else {
header("http://www.google.com");
}

 

Otherwise I'm confused by your question, maybe more clarification?

[rofl90]

It needs to check if the site is on maintenance too.

[unsider]

Wouldn't you rather determine that for yourself and just set a user/pass for your friends/viewers to use, and give it to them if they wanna see it?

 

[laffin]

depends how u store the switching of site on/off line..

 

easiest is prollly mysql, using a table for yer vars...

 

CREATE TABLE `vars` (
  `name` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
  `i` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  `u` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
  `f` double NOT NULL default '0',
  `s` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`name`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM; 

 

than ya can add a switching system in the admin page

 

on login, ya want to check this value, if admin or other special case users allow it, otherwise deny the user.

would this work:

 

Check if the page is on maintenance if yes, check if the user is logged in, if not include a maintenance page and leave it at that implying an else continue

 

???I this possible ???

[unsider]

Yes it's possible, with 2 if statements you could achieve that.

 

Or the database solution laffin showed you. 

[laffin]

if(!$siteonline && !$userloggedin) header("Location: http://my.site.com/oopsie.html");

 

a multiconditional works as well

[rofl90]

forgot your {} Anyway that looks good laffin, I will use a multiconditional statement.

[laffin]

{ } only needed when ya have more than 1 statement (a block) of code

[rofl90]

got it working

<?php
session_start();
require("inc/connectdb.php");
$thequery= "SELECT * FROM settings";
$maintenancequery = mysql_query($thequery) or die(mysql_error());
$settings = mysql_fetch_array($maintenancequery);
$siteonline = $settings['maintenance'];
if($siteonline == '0' && $_SESSION["access"] != 'granted') {
header("Location: http://www.codeetech.com/maintenance.php");
}
else
{
//blablabla
}
?>

Congrats And thanks for sharing code, pretty shure others will find it useful
