I have a function that i call at the beginning of each page (well, those
that require user auth).
checkLogin()
this checks for a positive integer value in a session variable called
intUserID
$_SESSION['intUserID'];
is that isn't a positive integer, i redirect to the login page.
the login is split into two script, prompt and process. prompt is a form
which POSTs data to the process script which in turn verifys the
username/password and if valid, assigns $_SESSION['intUserID'] the value of
the users user ID.
all looks fine to me.
.b
p.s. is it just me or is the reply-to on this list a little odd?
