Need Login which will then redirect

jwcrosby · #1 (**permalink**) 11-18-05, 02:23 PM

I need a script that works with a My SQL database (I'm assuming) that would allow a user to first of all login with a username and password (which I can assign, so I don't necessarily need a "register" option). Then, they will be taken to a specific page on the site that is their personal page. (For the curious, it's for a piano teacher's website. Parents will login to see their monthly statement, and maybe the teacher's comments on their child's progress. Doesn't need to be elaborate...we're only talking about 15 parents.)

Any ideas?

Hmm, try look around hotscripts, there should be something like that. Personally I prefer custom solutions

Contact me if interested!

Have a nice evening!

Not sure if this is usefull, ('specially for 15+, but I use it for 3, and don't see why it wont work

)

Code:

<?php
if($_POST['user']) {
if(($_POST['user'] == "User1") && ($_POST['pass'] == "Pass1")) header("Location: /user1.htm");
else if(($_POST['user'] == "User2") && ($_POST['pass'] == "Pass2")) header("Location: /user2.htm");
else if(($_POST['user'] == "User3") && ($_POST['pass'] == "Pass3")) header("Location: /user3.htm");
else header("Location: wrong.htm"); 
} else {
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome, Please Enter!</title>
</head>


<body>
<br><br>
<center>
<font size= "6">Please enter your Username and Password!</font><br><br><br>
<form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" method="post">
<p>Username: <input type="text" name="user"/>
Password: <input type="password" name="pass"/>
<input type= "submit" value= "Enter"/></p>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>
<?php } ?>

.Just change the BLUE text with the usernames and passwords you choose for each parent, change the RED text with the folder/page they will be redirected too. And the GREEN text with the error page location if they enter the wrong username and/or password.

Then just add the

Code:

else if(($_POST['user'] == "User3") && ($_POST['pass'] == "Pass3")) header("Location: /user3.htm");

lines for each user you need. You can also change the HTML (page title, welcome message, and submit button text) as needed.

Hope it helps!

I agree with custome solutions. Let's say that you have 1,000 customers. Intead of having 1,000 different pages for each customer, (nasty burden on your server during peak hours), I'd go back to basics - Cascading Style Sheets.

Everybody would have the same default page and would be allowed to make their own changes and save their preferences. Of course you would have to implement a relational database for those preferences, which shouldn't be difficult.

Just create a table with a userid, username, bgcolor, h1, etc... and when the user logs in it retreives those variables.

This will also mean that your default page will have to be loaded from the database as well.
