I’ve create a login page in dreamweaver that works great. I have a database of users with username, password & real name.
After you login, I want to have a personalized greeting on the success page “welcome [realName]”….. How can I do this? It should be simple but I’m new to PHP and am having trouble with this.
The code is below.
[code=php]<?php
//initialize the session
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}
// ** Logout the current user. **
$logoutAction = $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’].”?doLogout=true”;
if ((isset($_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’])) && ($_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’] != “”)){
$logoutAction .=”&”. htmlentities($_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’]);
}
if ((isset($_GET[‘doLogout’])) &&($_GET[‘doLogout’]==”true”)){
//to fully log out a visitor we need to clear the session varialbles
$_SESSION[‘MM_Username’] = NULL;
$_SESSION[‘MM_UserGroup’] = NULL;
$_SESSION[‘PrevUrl’] = NULL;
unset($_SESSION[‘MM_Username’]);
unset($_SESSION[‘MM_UserGroup’]);
unset($_SESSION[‘PrevUrl’]);
$logoutGoTo = “logout.php”;
if ($logoutGoTo) {
header(“Location: $logoutGoTo”);
exit;
}
}
?>
<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}
$MM_authorizedUsers = “user,admin”;
$MM_donotCheckaccess = “false”;
// *** Restrict Access To Page: Grant or deny access to this page
function isAuthorized($strUsers, $strGroups, $UserName, $UserGroup) {
// For security, start by assuming the visitor is NOT authorized.
$isValid = False;
// When a visitor has logged into this site, the Session variable MM_Username set equal to their username.
// Therefore, we know that a user is NOT logged in if that Session variable is blank.
if (!empty($UserName)) {
// Besides being logged in, you may restrict access to only certain users based on an ID established when they login.
// Parse the strings into arrays.
$arrUsers = Explode(“,”, $strUsers);
$arrGroups = Explode(“,”, $strGroups);
if (in_array($UserName, $arrUsers)) {
$isValid = true;
}
// Or, you may restrict access to only certain users based on their username.
if (in_array($UserGroup, $arrGroups)) {
$isValid = true;
}
if (($strUsers == “”) && false) {
$isValid = true;
}
}
return $isValid;
}
$MM_restrictGoTo = “failed.php”;
if (!((isset($_SESSION[‘MM_Username’])) && (isAuthorized(“”,$MM_authorizedUsers, $_SESSION[‘MM_Username’], $_SESSION[‘MM_UserGroup’])))) {
$MM_qsChar = “?”;
$MM_referrer = $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’];
if (strpos($MM_restrictGoTo, “?”)) $MM_qsChar = “&”;
if (isset($QUERY_STRING) && strlen($QUERY_STRING) > 0)
$MM_referrer .= “?” . $QUERY_STRING;
$MM_restrictGoTo = $MM_restrictGoTo. $MM_qsChar . “accesscheck=” . urlencode($MM_referrer);
header(“Location: “. $MM_restrictGoTo);
exit;
}
