Can someone explain why this happens? I got to my admin login screen and type the password. It refreshes and does not go into the admin area. I hit refresh on the browser and it takes me to the main admin section. I then click on a link inside the main admin section and it then takes me back to the original admin login section. Very frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, dthbah2006
Can you post your code? Could be that you're looking for a cookie when it isn't set yet. But only your code will tell us...
Open the login page in a text editor and copy and paste the code between wrappers here. Fly over it quick and see if there are any passwords or something personal that you may want to remove before posting it. PHP:
<body id="loginpage"> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <table align="center"><tr><td align="center"> <div id="logo">Script XXXXXXXXXXXXX Admin</div><br> <form name="frmAdminLogin" action="" method="post" id="loginform"> <b>Enter Admin Password</b> <br><br> <input type="hidden" name="user" value="admin"> <input type="password" name="admin_pass" size="25" ><br><br> <button type="submit">Login</button> </form> <br><br> Is this what you are referring? I can close the browser and open a new one and it takes me to the admin inside section. When I click a link to complete something in the admin section it takes me back to the admin login page.
No, open the PHP file locally on your computer and copy and paste the code. The PHP code is not visible for normal users when it's parsed on the server.
require_once("admin.inc.php"); if ($_POST['admin_pass'] && $_POST['admin_pass'] == $admin_pass) // Login admin { setcookie($ck_admin, md5($admin_pass), 0, "/"); header("Location: home.php"); exit; } elseif ($_GET['signout']) // Signout admin { setcookie($ck_admin, "", 0, "/"); header("Location: index.php"); exit; } elseif ($_COOKIE[$ck_admin] == md5($admin_pass)) // Already logged in. Redirect to admin home page { header("Location: home.php"); exit; } ?> Is this it?
