Login Problem

Sure enough when i edit the post saying the header includes the database information.. i double check it and its not there

 

I guess i have another question... How to i get it to show information about the session (ie username, email, name, etc)?

My login has

session_register('fullname');
$_SESSION['fullname'] = $row['fullname'];

PHP:

for all the things i want, and then i put

<? $_SESSION['fullname']; ?>

PHP:

where I want it to display but it just comes up blank. (i am starting the session)




Also, how do i end a session? I try:

<?
session_start();
session_destroy();
?>

PHP:

But i am still logged in.

 

You forgot the echo.

And session_register() is deprecated.

 

tried with and without echo, still doesnt show anything.

and what do you mean by "And session_register() is deprecated."?

Thanks.. +rep




Just wanted to make it clear

session_register('fullname');
$_SESSION['fullname'] = $row['fullname'];

PHP:

is on the login.php page, do i need to transfer this to all pages that require a session?











Heres my full login.php:

<? include'inc/header.php'; ?>
<div id="home">
<b>Please Login</b>
<hr noshade>
<p>
<center>
<? if(session_id()!=''){
echo'Your already logged in.';
}else{
?>
<?
if($_GET['i'] == "2") {
$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);
$password = md5(stripslashes($_POST['password']));

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$email' AND password='$password'");
$login_check = mysql_num_rows($sql);
if($login_check > 0){
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){

        $_SESSION['fullname'] = $row['fullname'];
        $_SESSION['address1'] = $row['address1'];
        $_SESSION['address2'] = $row['address2'];
        $_SESSION['city'] = $row['city'];
        $_SESSION['state'] = $row['state'];
        $_SESSION['country'] = $row['country'];
        $_SESSION['email'] = $row['email'];
        $_SESSION['paypal'] = $row['paypal'];
        $_SESSION['offers'] = $row['offers'];
        $_SESSION['completedoffers'] = $row['completedoffers'];
        $_SESSION['pendingoffers'] = $row['pendingoffers'];
        $_SESSION['pendingbalance'] = $row['pendingbalance'];	
        $_SESSION['balance'] = $row['balance'];
		
        mysql_query("UPDATE members SET lastlogin=now() WHERE email='$email'");
		
		echo'Login Successful';
		 }
}else{
		echo 'The information you entered is not correct.';
}

	

}else{
?>
<form action="login.php?i=2" method="POST">
Email<br /> <input size="20" type="text" name="email" class="signup"> <br />
Password<br /> <input size="15" type="password" name="password" class="signup"> <br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>
<?
}
}
?> 
</center>
</p>
</div>
<? include'inc/footer.php'; ?>

PHP:

And heres a page where I want to show data from the session:

<? include'inc/header.php'; ?>
<div id="home">
<? if(session_id()!=''){ ?>
<? include'inc/menu.php'; ?><br />
<hr noshade>
<br />
Full Name: <? $_SESSION['fullname']; ?> <br />
Address 1: <? $_SESSION['address1']; ?> <br />
Address 2: <? $_SESSION['address2']; ?><br />
City: <? $_SESSION['city']; ?><br />
State: <? $_SESSION['state']; ?><br />
Country: <? $_SESSION['country']; ?><br />
Zip Code: <? $_SESSION['zip']; ?><br /> <br />
<br />

<input type="submit" value="Change">
<?
}else{
echo'Your Not Logged In.';
}
?>
</div>
<? include'inc/footer.php'; ?>

PHP:

The header file contains the session_start(); and db information.

 

What's the code that's in your inc/header.php?

 

<? session_start();
include'inc/db.php'; ?>

PHP:

the rest is just html.

 

You need to make your header.php code like so:

<?
ob_start();
session_start();
include'inc/db.php';

--other stuff--

?>

PHP:

Make sure that ob_start(); is at the beginning of the document, no matter what. That should make it work.

***By the way, make sure you go into your footer.php and put in ob_end_flush(); at the very bottom, so it shuts that all down.

 

i fixed it...


I added

$_SESSION['login'] = true;

to the login page, and i changed

if(session_id()!='')

to

if($_SESSION['login'])


I just have one question, would doing "$_SESSION['login'] = true;" limit the number of people who can be online at a time?
