Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone could explain to me why I can't seem to maintain a
session using PHP 4.1.2 on my NT4 server. I am don't have any problems on my W2K/IIS5
or Linux machine. What I am doing is allowing my users to log on to the site at any
time, and then being returned to the page that they logged in from. This isn't the
problem. The problem is on the NT4/PHP4.1.2 machine when I click on a link to go to
another page their login information is lost, almost as if they logged out. Here is
the validation code that I am currently using:
[auth.inc]
<?php
function validateUser() {
$users = file("includes/users.txt");
if(!isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])) $_SESSION['logged_in'] = FALSE;
if(!isset($_SESSION['log_attempt'])) $_SESSION['log_attempt'] = FALSE;
if(!isset($_SESSION['valid_user'])) $_SESSION['valid_user'] = "";
if(!isset($_SESSION['email'])) $_SESSION['email'] = "";
if(!isset($_REQUEST['phpsessid'])) {
if(empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['passwd'])) {
$email = "";
$pass = "";
} else {
$email = $_POST['email'];
$pass = $_POST['passwd'];
$_SESSION['log_attempt'] = TRUE;
}
// replace with SQL query when db is instated
foreach($users as $login) {
list($user,$passwd,$fname,$lname) = explode("|",$login);
if($user==$email && $passwd==md5($pass)) {
$_SESSION['logged_in'] = TRUE;
$_SESSION['valid_user'] = $fname." ".trim($lname);
$_SESSION['email'] = $email;
}
}
}
return($_SESSION['logged_in']);
}
?>
Once again, it works fine on the W2K/IIS5 and Linux box, so that is why I am having
problems isolating the problem. Maybe it's just my logic and a fresh pair of eyes
would help looking at this.
Thanks for all your help,
