Maybe I should be more detailed:
user_login.php calls two files: header.htm and footer.htm.
At the top of my header.htm file is
<?php
session_start();
ob_start();
?>
On my user_login.php page I have the username and password fields and it
reposts
back to itself.
I then have get the posted vars to a local far:
$u = $_POST['username'];
$p = $_POST['password'];
for now Im not getting the infomration from the db on the user. Im just using
temp values so I have this:
$key = "name";
$code = "password";
and then I compare them:
if($key === $u && $code === $p){
$_SESSION['authorized'] = "yumyum";
header("Location: auth_home.php\r\n");
}
Now, on the auth_home.php page, it calls at the top header.htm with the
session_start() at the top. Then I have this code:
if($_SESSION['authorized'] == "yumyum" ) {
break;
} else {
//header("Location: user_login.php\r\n");;
}
At the moment I have put
print_r($_SESSION); at the bottom of the auth_home.php page.
When I put in the incorrect username and password the page will not change.
Which is what I want. When I put in the correct data I get transfered to
another
page. Which is what I want. If I clear all session variables and go directly to
the auth_home.php page I should be redirected back to the user_login.php page
but Im not. So, the session variable is not evaluating.
Oh, and to James asking about error reporting, I have
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
under session_start(); for debugging.
