I am hosting web site using a inex.php file. I have setup a login for four different users which currently directs them to same index.php file.
I would like direct each individual to a specifice index.php file based on the user. I am very new to php and coding in general. Could anyone hlep me with this?

Thank you in advance

Here is my code for the index.php

<?php

Line 19 says <?php include("/home/pi/html/password_protect.php"); ?> but you aren't telling us what is in that file. If I understand you correctly, that file gets people to enter a username and password, and determines whether it's successful and whether they should be logged in or not?

Dani, here is the password_protect.php.

Confused as to what you need help with. Do you need help with designing a system to redirect logged in users to a specific page (different url) or just show different info (targeted) on the same page? Where's the issue, is there is one?

Sorry haven't scanned the code, just want elucidation.

I want to redirect on the same website but a different page or portion of a page.

The way my page is setup now each user goes to the same index.php file.
I want to seperate the "pumps" on my page into four seperate pages that are dedicated to 1 user per page. So user1 logins in and they are directed to and index1.php file that only has pump1 etc.

Thank you

I would suggest that you keep the same index.php page for all users. Otherwise, you'll end up creating bespoke pages for all new users, and that's a maintenance nightmare. You can keep track of the logged in user with a $_SESSION variable and apply specific include files / structures accordingly. If you must have separate urls for all, you can use a rewrite giving the url something like index.php/345 where the number relates to the member id. Of course, this needs to be read and checked against the $_SESSION id to prevent anybody from randomly getting another user's info. However, I can't really see a case for this.

Your members should have a some data in your DB, which specifies which bits of data / structure info ("pump") to include on the index.php page. However, the "pumps" could also be stored in files and displayed that way. If you are storing info in text files, ensure that they are protected (above docroot) from casual perusal via url. My 2p.
