PHP / MySQL Login Area...

will7 · Apr 20, 2005

Well, I have a client login area at my business site, www.rednerve.com. Now, as you will see, to the right, there is an area with two text boxes and "client login" above it.

You can login with:

username: test2
password: testing

Now, what I want to happen is, when a client logs in (lets just say, for example, test2 logs in) then that client login section at the right should change to say: "You are currently logged in as test2" And also a logout link should be there.

My site runs on a template, i.e, all my pages are based on one Dreamweaver template (not template as in, TemplateMonster, template as in page designed in Dreamweaver and used throughout the site). Is there a way I can use an IF ... ELSE statement to change to a different template with the login information?

Or, is there another way to do this? Now, I have not had much luck in this forum lately, so, I hope I have more luck this time! I hope you understand my question, thanks in advance.

Will.

spekta to the rescue!

yes ofcourse it's possible, here's how you would do it:

Code:

<?php session_start();
$template = ( isset($_SESSION['template']) ) ? $_SESSION['template'] : "main.dwt"; ?>
<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/<?php echo $template ?>" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->

i'm not entirely sure how dreamweaver templates work but thats seems like it should work...

nice website btw

Thanks for the nice website comment. I'll give this a whirl later. I feel really ill at the moment

I'm sorta confused on the code, so, lets give template names. Say the main template is main.dwt (which it is) and the code with the login is logintemp.dwt - how would that change the code? Also, could you explain the code. Like, in sections what it does.

Also, on the login template, would I just edit the client login bit with some PHP code saying "You are logged in as $username" and a variable definition at the top of the page?

the script says if the session variable contains info about which template to show, show that template, otherwise show main.dwt by default, if you want to show a different template for specific users, set $_SESSION['template'] to the name of the template file when they're logging in, i.e. $_SESSION['template'] = 'bettertemplate.dwt';

OK, I don't know if this will help, but, here is my code for main.dwt.

So, where do I put the PHP template checking code? I do put it on main.dwt right? Or, do I put it on the pages that use the template?

Spekta, can you help me further?

will7 · May 1, 2005

No-one has any more ideas? Come on, I know its possible!! How?!?!?!?!?!?

stscac · May 2, 2005

Possible Solution

yeah, sure... here's how i think it can be solved:

PHP:

<?php
// check session variables
if (($_SESSION[authority]) = "administrator") {
echo "admin.dwt"; // of course here you are going to reference your template
} elseif (($_SESSION[authority]) = "user1") {
echo "user1template.dwt"; // template for user status 1
} elseif (($_SESSION[authority]) = "user2") {
echo "user2template.dwt"; // template for user status 2
exit;
?>

This can go on forever, as long as you have set up user status when it tries to check the username and password. Also make sure that everything is aligned - all this is case-sensitive.

Hope that helps
