Question on log in system

[zingzing45]

Ok, so if a user registers on my site, then how can I make it so that they are automatically logged in?

I've tried setting something like:

PHP Code:

$_SESSION["Login"] = "Yes"; 


on the registration page,

and then specifying a username the same way, but the log in still doesn't work.




Can anyone suggest a way to make this work?

I get bored asking this..

In what way, does it not work? Do you get a blank screen, an error message.. ?

Instead of showing your login information, like your username and points and stuff,

it just shows the login and register tabs, and the input text boxes that appear when you're not logged in...

You're still being very vague. YOU know exactly what you're talking about. The rest of us haven't got a clue. You've not shown any source code in php or html.

Try showing us some code wrapped in [php] tags and we'll do what we can to help.

As above, more information, try breaking things down a bit...

1) On page xyz.php they register using code on page wxy.php (if not the same).
- more details... I do/don't redirect the user.

2) Upon registration page xyz.php defines session variables a, b and c.
- more details... I do/don't redirect the user.

3) On page vwx.php I want the user details to display based on session variable a.
- I do/don't know if the session variable is present on page vwx.php.
- I do/don't know that user details are retrieved using the session variable.

Give us the logical sequence, whats being done or attempted, and the things you have been able to figure out so far.
