how do I use this?

Post by **Oliver Georgi** » Fri 7. Nov 2003, 09:23

try this first:

create a new file "sessiontest.php" and put it on your webserver. Quit your browser.

Put this code into the "sessiontest.php":

Code: Select all

<?php
session_start();

if(isset($_GET["do"])) {
	$_SESSION["test"]++;
	header("Location: ".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
}


?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Session Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
Click for <a href="sessiontest.php?do=<?php echo intval($_SESSION["test"]) ?>">loading</a> session test!
<?php echo (isset($_SESSION["test"])) ? "<br><br>session var is set (".$_SESSION["test"].")" : "no session set"; ?>
</body>
</html>

It should count up 1 every time you click the link.

User check is neccessary in the hole script. NEVER DISABLE THIS!!! This won't help you.

The session test works fine...

try to insert the following code in your login.php - beste place is at line 193:

Code: Select all

&nbsp;<?php echo "USER-ID: ".$_SESSION["wcs_user_id"] ?>

First time this should be set to nothing - after successful login this should be your user-ID.

It does not show any ID after trying to log in...

(thx for this real time support, btw

)

Yeah, that is the problem. It does not register the neccessary session vars.

But why?

If I was a real experienced php-programmer I would have a clue... But I am not, so I don't have one... sorry

Here my next try for you:

Extend differences beginning at line 71 of login.php:

Code: Select all

	if($login_passed) {
		// workaround for possible session register problems???
		$_SESSION["wcs_user"]			= $wcs_user;
		$_SESSION["wcs_pass"]			= $wcs_pass;
		$_SESSION["wcs_user_name"]		= $wcs_user_name;
		$_SESSION["wcs_user_id"]		= $wcs_user_id;
		$_SESSION["wcs_user_aktiv"]		= $wcs_user_aktiv;
		$_SESSION["wcs_user_rechte"]	= $wcs_user_rechte;
		$_SESSION["wcs_user_email"]		= $wcs_user_email;
		$_SESSION["wcs_user_avatar"]	= $wcs_user_avatar;
		$_SESSION["wcs_user_logtime"]	= $wcs_user_logtime;
		$_SESSION["wcs_user_admin"]		= $wcs_user_admin;
		$_SESSION["wcs_user_thumb"]		= $wcs_user_thumb;
	
		/*
		session_register(	"wcs_user", "wcs_pass", "wcs_user_name", "wcs_user_id",
							"wcs_user_aktiv", "wcs_user_rechte", "wcs_user_email",
							"wcs_user_avatar", "wcs_user_logtime", "wcs_user_admin", "wcs_user_thumb");
		*/
		//Schreiben der Login-Daten in Datenbank

What I do not understand:

As the system does not log me in, I am not forwarded to phpwcms.php - it is logical that far...

BUT!

Why does login.php show the user "webmaster" as being online?!

STRRRRRRRRRIKE!

It works!

Thank you

Post by **Oliver Georgi** » Fri 7. Nov 2003, 09:55

This is initially set in login.php on first load.

still cant login

php4.3.4 installed
session creation works
modified login.php as shown

I login as webmaster with password "pass"
user webmaster online but redirects me to login.php

I try to login again -----> script shows "Errors during login!"

wtf?

Post by **Oliver Georgi** » Sun 9. Nov 2003, 23:22

Please check everything again!

It have to work (i hope

) - I have tested the login process on more than 20 machines and 8 different PHP versions (4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.3.0, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.3, 4.3.4) and 4 platforms (2000/XP/Suse7.3/8.1/RedHat 7.3/MacOSX)

The login form is case sensitive.
