I have a login script that I am using that is currently working, but I want to add some additional functionality such as displaying name, some prefs etc. I'd like to store the users ID in the session so I can use it as they navigate the site for lookups, but I'm not sure how to go about this. Any help is greatly appreciated... code is below.
<?php
include_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .
'/includes/magicquotes.inc.php';
if (isset($_GET['login'])){
include 'login.html.php';
exit();
}
if (isset($_GET['security'])){
ob_start();
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="*****"; // Mysql username
$password="*****"; // Mysql password
$db_name="*****"; // Database name
$tbl_name="users"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// Define $myusername and $mypassword
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect home"
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
header("location:/admin/");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
ob_end_flush();
exit();
}
if (isset($_GET['logout'])){
session_start();
session_destroy();
header("location:/admin/");
exit();
}
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(myusername)){
header("location:?login");
}
// Display Home Page
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/db.inc.php';
include 'home.html.php';
exit();
