hey people
i wrote this code and i got a problem , i cant register a session .
this is the login form :
<?php
if(!isset($_POST['username']))
{
$title = "- signin";
include "header.php";
include "nav.php";
?>
<form action="" method="post">
Username :<br /><input type="text" name="username" size="70" /><br />
Password :<br /><input type="password" name="password" size="70" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="login" /><br /><BR />
</form>
<?php
include "sb.php";
include "footer.php";
}
else
{
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
include "config.php"; // this is where my db informations and connections is
$s = "SELECT*FROM members WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password'";
$q = mysql_query($s);
if(mysql_num_rows($q) == 0)
{
$title = "- error";
include "header.php";
include "nav.php";
echo "<h2>error</h2>";
echo "<p> we didnt found your infos in our databases , please login again from <a href='signin.php'>here </a> or <a href='signup.php'> sign up</a></p>";
include "sb.php";
include "footer.php";
}
else
{
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($q))
{
$name = $row['name'];
}
$_SESSION['username'] == $username;
$_SESSION['name'] == $name;
header("location:index.php");
echo "please wait ....";
}
mysql_close();
}
?>so after filling this form . the form will send me to the index okay , i think up to here it is fine . so this is the index code :
<?php
$title = "- Home";
include "session.php"; // here is where the session is
include "header.php";
include "nav.php";
include "main.php";
include "sb.php";
include "footer.php";
?>here is the session.php file :
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['name']))
{
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
}
else
{
$name == "gust";
}
?>i wrote it like this couz i want to display the members name in my websites sidebar
