i get a username and password from the user
then sends it into the login.php script
[PHP]
<?
$uname = $_POST['uname'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
if ($uname == 'dreimer' && $pass == 'id10t')
{
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['logged'] = 'yes';
//echo $_SESSION[['logged'];
header("locatio n: logged.php");
}
?>
[/PHP]
now this gets the uname and the pass from post and checks then against the username and password that i have preset. i can get into this if statement fine. i then set a session variable ['logged'] and that is equal to 'yes'. then i redirect the header to logged.php. when i un comment the line that prints the session variable the browser displays 'yes'
and the final page
[PHP]
<?
session_start() ;
if ($_SESSION['logged'] != 'yes');
{
echo 'ahah';
//echo $_SESSION['logged'] ;
//header("locatio n: login.htm");
}
?>
<head>
<title>Untitl ed Document</title>
</head>
<body>
logged in sucessfully
</body>
</html>
[/PHP]
of here i check to see if the session variable isn't yes. and the browse displays 'ahah' and when i un comment the printing of the session variable i get the same output so basicaly i can read session vars off the page where they are set but not off other pages.
i have worked on this problem for several weeks and tried using cookies to solve the problem as well but nothing seems to work
if anyone can help me please help
