Hi im wanting to build a login system that when a user logs in it take them to a there private page eg.

 

john logs in and it take him to john.php

Ned logs in it takes him to ned.php

 

is this possible if so any tips hints or ideas on how to go about this ?

 

should i use flat file ? im not wanting to capture details or anything or have a regestar page just as long as i could add them ...

Or if you want a flat file specifically

But how would i get the differnt users to go to differnt pages?

[discomatt]

header('Location: ' . $username . '.php');

 

Could work

I would create a .php file, private.php, for example.

 

have 'private.php' check session data for the user-ID, then build the page custom accordingly in PHP.

 

You can pass along the userrname using a querystring, 'private.php?user=John'

 

Then you can use URL Rewrite to fashion it so it pips 'private.php?user=John' when the user requests 'http://www.mypage.com/John'

 

Then finally, after verfying the login information, pull a: header('Location: http://www.mypage.com/$user'); exit;

instead of sending people to diffent pages why not call a page in a MySQL Table so that if a user logs in it doesnt send them to john.php but rather it sends them to:

 

http://www.yourdomain.com/secret.php?user=john&session-id=23786asc8yu37gfsdb34
