Unable to get login user information in multiple php pages

Question

I want to get user information in multiple pages so that I can show and hide the information on the basis of login user in multiple pages. Code

Answer 1

this way you can't access $role_id from anywhere accept Dashboard because you send it only dashboard. Put role_id in SESSION so that you can access from every page.

session_start();
if($_SESSION['login']==1){
   $_SESSION['loggedIn'] = true;  
   $_SESSION['role_id'] = $_GET['role_id'];
    header("location:api/dashboard.php");
}
else{
   header("location:index.php");
   echo "login unsuccessful.";
}

Answer 2

Once you stored role id into session. $_SESSION['role_id'] = $_GET['role_id'];

you can get role id to the pages after login then you can hide and show some information on the following:

    <?php 

    session_start();
    if(!isset($_SESSION["role_id"])){
        /*..what you want to display here...*/
    }else{
        header("location:index.php");
    }
    ?>

If role is not present you can redirect to index page.

Answer 3

Store role_id in session if it is not changing again and again, like below:

<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['login']==1) {
    $_SESSION['loggedIn'] = true;  
    $role_id = $_GET['role_id'];
    // store here in session
    $_SESSION['roleid'] = $role_id;
    header("location:api/dashboard.php?role_id=$role_id");
} else {
    header("location:index.php");
    echo "login unsuccessful.";
}
?>
