Hi everyone!
I’m new to this forum & in need of a bit of help…
I’m currently developing a site in PHP (www.elitedjs.co.uk) for a friend of mine. As I’m trying to make the site content as dynamic as possible so I don’t have to keep updating it myself, I’ve developed a nice little admin area for my friend to use.
Obviously, it requires authentication to stop just anyone messing with the data, however I’m having issues with the user authentication after the login stage…
From what I can gather the problem is AOL. I’ve never liked AOL, but it’s what my friend who will be doing the admin is using, so I’ve got to work with it :evil: ):
<?
session_start();
$user = trim($_POST["username"]);
$pass = trim($_POST["password"]);
If ($user=="xxxxx") {
If ($pass=="yyyy") {
$_SESSION["user"]="zzzzzz";
header("Location: http://www.elitedjs.co.uk/valid");
} else {
header("Location: http://www.elitedjs.co.uk/invalid");
}
} else {
header("Location: http://www.elitedjs.co.uk/invalid");
}
?>And here’s the authentication code at the top of each of the admin pages:
session_start();
If($_SESSION["user"]!=="zzzzzz") {
header("Location: http://www.elitedjs.co.uk/nosession");
}
As I said, this works fine for me & I’m not on AOL… The error he is getting is from the authentication code on the admin pages which re-directs to the ‘nosession’ page if the user is not logged in and trying to access the page.
So, any ideas??
Oh, I’ve also tried using cookes instead (which I know you shouldn’t do for authentication, but thought I’d give it a shot) and that also failed to work over AOL…
