Hi, I'm new to CakePHP. I'm using WinXP, Apache 2.2, PHP 5 and
CakePHP 1.2.
I run into this problem about session. I can't retrieve the session
when I redirect the user to another page like "/articles" after login
except if it's on the same controller 'UsersController'.
class UsersController extends AppController {
var $name = "Users";
var $helpers = array("Html", "Form", "Countrylist");
function register() {
$this->set('password_verification_error','');
if (!isset($this->user) || !$this->user) {
if(!empty($this->data)) {
$this->User->data = $this->data;
if ($this->User->validates()) {
if($this->data['User']['password'] !=
$this->data['User']
['password2']) {
$this->set('password_verification_error','Please verify your
password again.<br>The passwords specified do not match.');
} else {
$this->data['User']['password']
= md5($this->data['User']
['password']);
$this->data['User']['last_login'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$this->data['User']['join_date'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$this->cleanUpFields();
$this->User->create();
if($this->User->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->write('user', $this->data['User']['email']);
$this->redirect('/users/index');
} else {
$this->flash("problem.");
}
}
} else {
$this->validateErrors($this->User);
}
}
} else {
$this->autoRender = false;
$this->redirect("/");
}
}
function index() {
$this->checkSession();
}
function login() {
$this->pageTitle = "iMallow - Author Login";
$this->set('error', '');
if ($this->data) {
$results =
$this->User->findByEmail($this->data['User']['email']);
if ($results && $results['User']['password'] ==
md5($this-
>data['User']['password'])) {
$_SESSION['user'] =
$this->data['User']['email'];
$this->Session->write('user',
$this->data['User']['email']);
$this->Session->write('last_login',
$results['User']
['last_login']);
$results['User']['last_login'] = date("Y-m-d
H:i:s");
$this->User->save($results);
$this->redirect('/articles');
} else {
$this->set('error', 'Invalid login
credential.');
}
}
}
function logout() {
$this->Session->delete('user');
$this->redirect('/users/login');
}
}
My ArticlesController looks like this:
class ArticlesController extends AppController {
var $name = "Articles";
function index() {
$this->Session->renew();
}
}
I'm trying to get the session on my layout view which looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://
www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title_for_layout?></title>
<?php echo $html->meta('favicon.ico','/
favicon.ico',array('type'=>'icon')); ?>
<?php echo $html->charset('utf-8'); ?>
<?php echo $html->css('main','import'); ?>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<div id="maincontainer">
<div id="header">
<div id="logoarea"><?php echo
$html->link($html->image("logo.gif",
array("alt"=>"iMallow Articles",
"boder"=>"0")),"/",false,false,false) ?></div>
<div id="rinfo">
<?php
if($session->read('user')) {
?>
Hi, <b><?php echo
$session->read('user') ?>!</b> <br />
<?php echo $html->link('My Account',
'/users/profile') ?>, <?php
echo $html->link('logout', '/users/logout') ?>
<?
} else {
?>
Welcome <b>Guest!</b> <br />
<?php echo $html->link("Sign
In","/users/login") ?> , <?php echo
$html->link("Register Here","/users/register") ?>
<?
}
?>
</div>
<div class="cb"></div>
</div>
<div id="mainbody">
<?php echo $content_for_layout ?>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<a href="#">Submit An Article</a> | <a href="#">Find
Articles</a> |
<a href="#">Terms of Use</a> | <a href="#">Privacy Policy</a> | <a
href="#">Contact Us</a><br>

</div>
</div>
</center>
</body>
</html>
If I'm on the /users/index page...It is working but if on another page
like for example /articles, session information was gone. I know I am
missing something here.
Thanks to all for the help!
