creating login page with PHP

Question

I am trying to create website with login form with some PHP code, were user will try to login with username and password and page will then show \"welcome....\". AT the moment w

Answer 1

First off...dont store the password in the session. Thats just asking for trouble.

session_register("password");

Secondly....session_register() is a deprecated function and shouldn't be used anymore.

Instead do...

     $_SESSION['username'] = $myusername;

Third....

header("location:page1.html");

Should be a PHP file if you want sessions to work across pages..

header("location:page1.php");

Then in that PHP page do...

session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])){
   header("location:index.php");
} else {
     // Display stuff to logged in user
}
