Hello all,
I am new to php in general and am trying to set up a user authentification system
with mysql. The registration page works well and sends all of the data to the
appropriate table in mysql. However, when I try to get the registered user to log in
and start a session, the system will not remember the session information past the
page. For instance, this page will not work (the one that initially is supposed to
register the session from the login form):
<?
session_start();
$username="chris";
$database="login";
$login = $_POST['login'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if((!$login) || (!$password)){
echo "Please enter ALL of the information! <br />";
include 'login.php';
exit();
}
mysql_connect(localhost,$username);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$sql=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM login WHERE login='$login' AND password='$password'");
$login_check = mysql_num_rows($sql);
if($login_check > 0){
// This is where I register the session
session_register('login');
$_SESSION['login'] = $login;
mysql_close();
include 'success.php';
} else {
echo "You could not be logged in! Either the username and password do not match or
you have not validated your membership!<br />
Please try again!<br />";
include 'login.php';
}
?>
It proceeds to login the user for that page (I know this happens because I have played
around with it looking at the error checks), but it will not display any variable that
resembles "$_SESSION['login']".
The next page sequentially (success.php) looks like this:
<?
session_start();
echo 'Successful login for "$_SESSION['login']"';
?>
Any and all variations of this page come up blank and white whenever the variable
$_SESSION['login'] is called to display. It shows no memory of me registering a
session. Any variation of quotes verse apostrophes changes nothing, so I figure that
either I am blatantly screwing up the session code (possible for I have never written
any sessions before) or my system is not supporting sessions. I have a php4
something, windows, apache 1.3.27 for my home network server, and mysql. Any help on
this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your time, John

Have you checked the setup of your session management? Check the
setting as reflected in the output from a phpinfo() command. for
example, make sure your session storage path is valid etc. (normally
/tmp if you haven't changed it)
Also check how php is set to access variables. (Look at the setting for
register_variables, and check the manual for an explanation of how this
*may* affect you)
Make sure your test browser is set to accept cookies too ... if the
setting in php.ini for session.use_cookies is ON (value 1) then session
data is transported via cookies, blocking these in the browser means the
data doesn't propogate.

I assume you use PHP 4.3x with register_globals = off in php.ini.
Please read though my comments in your codes.
I hope this helpful!

you may need to get random numbers to set up you login
where did you get $login ? you mean $_POST["login"], ok!
it is not good iead to use the same login!
$_SESSION["login"] = md5(uniqid(rand(), 1));
//> $_SESSION['login'] = $login;
mysql_close();
include 'success.php';
} else {
echo "You could not be logged in! Either the username and password do not match or you have not validated your membership!<br />

1. I get this error when trying to run php from a command line.
PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library
'N:\php\extensions\msql.dll' - The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0
2. I get this error trying to pull data from and ftp server:

OK, I solved it.
It seems that I **HAVE TO**, **MUST**, **NO CHOICE** place my php.ini in
C:\WINNT (for NT and 2k) or PHP will not find it. This is a hardcoded path
done at compile time.
So, since no ini file, PHP was running on default values, thus it could not
find DB.php since the default path there was 'C:\php4\pears'
So, I copied my php.ini file to C:\winnt, renamed the added php4 to php4x
(just to hide it to see if this would work), restarted my Apache (since the
docs tell me that the PHP process that runs with Apache reads this file once
at Apache startup) and I ran my script.
It now works.
Just thought I'd share to the next stubborn person finds this solution.

Does the new PHP5 force globals off? Because even if I turn on globals, my
script still does nothing =\.
