User Login and Directory Structures

[Hammerton]

I am trying unsuccessfully to create a user login based branch of my web site.

Here's what's working fine:

     Site Dir

         Connection
         FX

         index.php
         student_login.php

Here's what's not:

         teachinceassistatntdirectory

                index.php
                ta_login.php

No matter what I try, when I try to access the index page in the teaching assistant directory, it redirects to the login page. When I enter the username and password, it reloads the login page with empty uname and pword fields. That is, it doesn't go back to the index page within the teachinassistant directory. Is this a directory level issue? Anyone know how to make this work?

Thanks

Are both using the Table Based login thingy?

There are probably conflicts in having the same session variables set in each...

[Hammerton]

Good idea. The other parts of the site use two different table based logins. But this particular problem occurs logging directly without any other active sessions.

OK, time for some trouble shooting...

On the login page, put

Code:

print_r($_SESSION);

To check for all the session variables...

[Hammerton]

Code:

Array ( [login_conn] => hip_ta [login_from] => /intro/intro_ta/index.php [login_type] => table [hip_ta_tableLogin] => Array ( [user] => ta4drj [pass] =>xxxxxx [first] => 1 ) )

It appears to be making a session, but regardless of where I put the login.php file, the subdirectory I want it in or the directory one up (where everything else is working) it won't return me to the index page that was originally requested. It just reloads the login page.

Well I retried this with all the files at the same directory level of the stuff that works. The problem seems to be specific to userbased login. Table based login works fine.

maybe it's an issue with 2 logins conflicting as was stated...

does it work if you logout first then re-login?

There may be some function like structdelete? that can auto kill any previous login to put on the login page - to auto clear out any previous stuff

what would the function be for this exactly?

[webko]

I use the following to kill every session variable in one hit:

Code:

session_unset();
session_destroy();

It's my standard logout function on most systems I build
