Hello

I searched for this but didn’t know how to word it to get a hit.. so here it goes..

After a user logs in to my site from the index page, how do you make the login form turn in to a message that says ” (username) is logged in click here to logout” I am running MySQL and Phip on Apache.

Any help would be great!

@ronverdonkSep 06.2006 — Assuming that you have saved the username in a session variable (e.g. $_SESSION['username'], you can print something the following at the top of each page.

[code=php]
print '<table><tr><td style="text-align:right;color:black;font-size:11px;">
You are logged in with user name: '.$_SESSION['username'].
'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a href="Logout.php">Logout</a></span></td></tr></table>';
[/code]

When the authentication is successful, be sure to grab and set the userID and username into the session variables.

From there, as the previous person said, you can simply echo $_SESSION['username'];

Also, don't forget to put session_start(); at the beginning of your page, or else the session variables won't exist.

@pcthugSep 07.2006 — [code=php]<?php
session_start();

// check if post variables are set, if not show login form

// authenticate post variables, if invalid show login form

// set session variables from provided post variables
$_SESSION['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']);

echo "{$_SESSION['username']} is logged in <a href="/index.php?action=logout" title="Logout">click here</a> to logout.n";

?>[/code]

Oh man, that's a horrible tutorial. That tutorial doesn't even filter the user input with mysql_escape_string. No hashing of the password either. ?

@boeing747fpSep 08.2006 — like previously stated, be sure your session_start(); is there and that you have session variables for "username" (not so sure if "user id" is needed) from your successful login page.... on your index page, where your login form is, do this
[code=php]if(!empty($_SESSION['username'])){
echo "Hello, <strong>{$_SESSION['username']}</strong>!";
}else{
echo "YOUR LOGIN FORM HERE";
}
[/code]

@LearnGreekTodayauthorOct 10.2006 — I tried to the best of my abilities to add the code to my login page but was unable to get it to work. If I post my login form, do you think you could point out how I should add it.....

<td style="padding-left: 4px;"

background="images/index_09.jpg" width="181">

<!-- Login Form Start -->

<form method="post" action="/vSignup/vAuthenticate.php"

name="Sample">

Username:<input name="username"><br>

Password:<br> <input name="password" type="password"><br>

<input value="Login" type="submit"> &nbsp;</form>

Success!
