hey erm im a kinda newbie to php have been using it for about 6 months and have ended up with a problem . I have got a site which i use for school but as the school is hooked up on a domain sometimes the different users cookies info displays and messes up . The script i am using is below if any person could help me or make me a login script which uses sessions instead of cookies and i am also able to extract username from sessions to help me fetch data from database
PHP Code:
<?php
// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("dbhost", "dbuser", "dbpass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("dbname") or die(mysql_error());
//Checks if there is a login cookie
if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site']))
//if there is, it logs you in and directes you to the members page
{
$username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site'];
$pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site'];
$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error());
$total_regged=mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users"));
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))
{
if ($pass != $info['password'])
{
}
else
{
header("Location: feed.php");
}
}
}
//if the login form is submitted
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // if form has been submitted
// makes sure they filled it in
if(!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass']) {
die('You did not fill in a required field.');
}
// checks it against the database
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$_POST['email'] = addslashes($_POST['email']);
}
$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."'")or die(mysql_error());
//Gives error if user dosen't exist
$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);
if ($check2 == 0) {
die('That user does not exist in our database. <a href=reg.php>Click Here to Register</a>');
}
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))
{
//gives error if the password is wrong
if ($_POST['pass'] != $info['password']) {
die('Incorrect password, please try again.');
}
else
{
// if login is ok then we add a cookie
$_POST['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']);
$hour = time() + 3600;
setcookie(ID_my_site, $_POST['username'], $hour);
setcookie(Key_my_site, $_POST['pass'], $hour);
if (strip_tags($_POST['submit'])){
$timenow=time();
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET online='$timenow' WHERE username='$username'");
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET ghostmode='$timenow' WHERE username='$username'");
}
if (strip_tags($_POST['submit'])){
$last=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET last='$last' WHERE username='$username'");
}
//then redirect them to the members area
header("Location: feed.php");
}
}
}
else
{
// if they are not logged in
}
?>
this is what i am currently using on my pages to give you an idea on what im stuck on
PHP Code:
<?php
// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("dbhost", "dbuser", "dbpass") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("dbname") or die(mysql_error());
if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site']))
$username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site'];
$pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site'];
$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error());
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))
if ($pass != $info['password'])
{("Location : index.php");
}
$fetch=mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'"));
$metch=mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM messages WHERE user_to='all'"));
$newpoints=$fetch->index2+1;
mysql_query("UPDATE visits SET index2='$newpoints' WHERE username='$username'");
?>
