:( ::)
Hello there,
I recently started Web Designing with PHP, Javascript and AJAX.
I am facing a problem which I will try to explain:
If I am successful in conveying the problem to you clearly, could you
pl. suggest me some solution? Thank you,
Here is the problem details:
I successfully created a Registration/Login/Logout system with CMS
features by learning through tutorials/forums like yours, using PHP/MYSQL
only. Thanks to the internet.
I want to Ajaxify the code using the Javascript programming and
XMLHttpRequest Object.
So the question I asked to myself is:
Can we login without refreshing the current page? In theory and
practice I am able to validate/check the username , password and get
back the results array from mysql without refreshing the page.
I am facing the Problems after this:
How do I retain myself in that State of LOGGEDIN situation? The answer
to this is(probably): $_SESSION variable.
But at this point I got stuck: Where should I use session_start() and
where should I assign the SESS_MEMBER_ID ? Is it in the index.php
which is the main page (which has the login screen) or is it the 'php
script' which checks for user name, password
and sends back the results. I tried adding the session code to "php
script" under the login submit button. It successfully gives me the
session id.
However, if I refresh the page, I loose that session ID:
so, my doubt is where exactly is session ID stored ? On the server or
on the client machine like a cookie.
How do we retain it ?
Its similar to when I log into yahoo / gmail account, even if I
refresh, I wont be logged out to main screen.
How is this possible without refreshing the form.
Could you pl. help on this.
Thank you very much for your time.
regards,
sincerely,
Prasad.

Hi Prasad, welcome to TSDN!
You should use sessions on the main page too, so that when the page is refreshed, you don't lose the session.
thank you @acoder.
still I am not fully clear of how to do that.
I have tried similar to your suggestion ie.
I created a main.php which has session_start() , LOGGEDIN= false;
on the main.php , there is a section called loginform, which on receiving username,
password(checks it) then regenerates session ids and then LOGGEDIN is changed
to TRUE.
Now the session should remember TRUE but if I refresh, the session information is lost, the main page come back instead of the logged in TRUE status.
Is there a place on the client computer and server, where I can look for the session id being stored and just confirm myself that it is infact storing the information and checking it during refresh.?
Ofcourse, I am using Logged in Status to hide some content which is generally visible in LOGGEDOUT status.
so, I am confused of how to do this ?
Hope you will clarify me on this ?
thank you for the earlier post and for the time too.
prasad.

I haven't tested this, but when you normally start a session on a page without Ajax, you wouldn't set LOGGEDIN to false, would you? You'd check that the username is set in the session variables. The only part you need to "Ajaxify" is the login. The rest should stay the same.

Hi,
I have an ajax powered tabs box that has a javascript drop-down search menu in the first tab. When I click on another tab, and go back to the first tab I have to refresh the page to get the information to load. Any suggestions on how I might get around that. The articles tab is the tab where the javascript won't load. Thanks so much for any help you might be able to provide:

Hi,
Say i have a server process which listens for some changes in database.
When a change occurs i want to refresh my page in browser by notyfinig it.
I do not want to refresh my page i.e. every 5 seconds, i just want to
refresh it ONLY on server change just like desktop applications do.
The problem is that refreshing evry n seconds has to much impact on my
web server. The refresh action should be taken only when something

Hi,
My responseXML is always null on my AJAX call. When I browse directly
to the PHP script I am calling, the XML file shows up just fine.
I have read that if a returned XML file is not valid, it will always
appear as null. I am just returning some basic XML like:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<XMLData>

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
