Great system,
btw. Just
having one
problem I can't
seem to figure
out. For
whatever
reason, when
logged in, the
$user variable
is coming up
blank... but
the username is
available is i
call
$_SESSION['user
name'];
i've tried
logging in both
with and
without the
remember me
cookie, and
$user always
remains blank.
i've double and
triple checked
all my code and
don't see any
typos... which
doesn't mean
there aren't
any. Logout
works
perfectly... so
i'm assuming
there's
something wrong
with either the
page_header or
the login
script?
the only
changes i
really made
were database
field names (i
used password
instead of
user_password).
my login:
ob_start();
session_start(
);
require_once('d
b_connect.php')
;
if(isset($_SESS
ION['username']
) &&
isset($_SESSION
['password']))
{
//REDIRECT TO
USERS
PROFILE...
header("Lo
cation:
home.php";
} //end if
logged in
//IF SUBMIT
BUTTON PRESSED
if(isset($_POST
['submit'])) {
// i created a
custom error
handler here
//
if(!$_POST['us
ername'])
form_error(&quo
t;You must
enter your
username to log
in." ;
if(!$_POST['pas
sword'])
form_error(&quo
t;You must
enter your
password to log
in.";
//set cookie
if checked
if(!empty($_POS
T['stay_in']))
{
$joined
=''.$_POST['use
rname'].'[]'.md
5($_POST['passw
ord']).'';
setcookie('logi
n_cookie',
$joined,
2147483647,
'/',
'.mysite.com');
} //end if
//verify
user...
$get_user =
mysql_query(&qu
ot;SELECT *
FROM `members`
WHERE
`username` =
'".$_POST[
'username'].&qu
ot;' AND
`password` =
'".md5($_P
OST['password']
)."'"<
img
src=http://www.
allsyntax.com/f
orums/images/sm
ilies/wink.gif
border=0>;
$q =
mysql_fetch_obj
ect($get_user);
$error =
mysql_error();
if
($error){print
$error; exit;}
if(!$q)
form_error(&quo
t;An error
occured, please
verify your
username and
password are
correct.";
//set session
variables
$_SESSION['logg
ed_in'] = 1;
$_SESSION['user
name'] =
$_POST['usernam
e'];
$_SESSION['pass
word'] =
$_POST['passwor
d'];
session_write_c
lose();
header("Lo
cation:
home.php";
} else {
//show login
form
and my
page_header
ob_start();
session_start(
);
require_once('d
b_connect.php')
;
//check cookie
if
($_SESSION['log
ged_in'] != 1
&&
isset($_COOKIE[
'login_cookie']
)) {
list($user,
$pass) =
explode('[]',
$_COOKIE['login
_cookie']);
$qu =
mysql_query(&qu
ot;SELECT
`password` FROM
`members` WHERE
`username` =
'".addslas
hes($user).&quo
t;'";
if
(mysql_num_rows
($qu) == 1) {
$passw
=
mysql_fetch_obj
ect($qu);
if
($passw->pas
sword == $pass)
{
$_SESSION['logg
ed_in'] = 1;
$_SESSION['user
name'] = $user;
$_SESSION['pass
word'] = $pass;
}
}
}
if(!isset($_SES
SION['username'
]) &&
!isset($_SESSIO
N['password']))
{
$_SESSION['logg
ed_in'] = 0;
$user =
"Guest&quo
t;;
}
been tearing my
hair out... any
help would be
appreciated!

Some more
information: i
just logged in
with the
"remember
me"
option checked
and then viewed
the
login_cookie
that was set.
The username is
being written
to that, along
with the md5
password...
so why isn't
it being put
into $user?

Check your
cookie son:
setcookie('
login_cookie',
$joined,
2147483647,
'/',
'.mysite.com'
);
mysite.com
should be YOUR
SITE URL. Let
me know if this
fixed it. Good
luck

oh, i know.
both cookie
calls use the
actual
information
(ie, the main
URL of the
server). I
just replaced
them with
mysite.com for
the post of my
code.

So if you login
regularly
without
checking
"remember
me", then
you are logged
in and the form
redirects to
home.php but
$user is not
set? But
$_SESSION['use
rname'] is?
And if you
check
"remember
me" then
it works fine?
$_SESSION['use
rname'] is set
to $user from
the cookie. The
cookie is set
only if someone
checks
"remember
me"
So if someone
just logs in
without
checking
"remember
me" then
$user is not
set to
$_SESSION['use
rname']. You
will have to
add that if
that's what
you want.

No, $user is
set to blank in
BOTH cases - if
the
"remember
me"
cookie is set,
or if it's not
checked. It's
very strange.
$user will be
Guest and
display with no
issues when
signed out, but
if i sign in,
$user is set to
blank.
To test, i put
the following
on my
home.php:
user: <?
echo $user;
?><br
/>
logged in:
<? echo
$_SESSION['log
ged_in'];
?><br
/>
session user:
<? echo
$_SESSION['use
rname'];
?><br
/>
When signed
out, i get
user: Guest
logged in: 0
session
user:
When signed in
with either the
cookie or
without, i
get:
user:
logged in: 1
session user:
testmember

See if this
fixes it:
Code:
if(!isset($_SES
SION['username
']) &&
!isset($_SESSIO
N['password']
)) {
$_SESSION['log
ged_in'] = 0;
$user =
"Guest&q
uot;;
} else {
$user =
$_SESSION['use
rname'];
} //end if
