PHP - 1 Username Login For Both Website And Forum

Is there a way to get current logged in username and based on that redirect to a different page?

I’m using the following secure PHP login without MySql as a login system: https://sourceforge.net/projects/phploginbyvallastech/

Now I’m looking to redirect each logged in user to their personalized page.

But I can’t figure out how to A) fetch the current logged in user and B) redirect multiple users.

This code redirects to the latter address, but the username based redirect is not working:

<?php

session_start();

if ($_SESSION["username"]==User1){

header("location: user1content.php");

exit;

} else {

header("location: generalcontent.php");

exit;

}

{ ?>

<?php } ?>

So it’s clearly not fetching the logged in user. Though <?php echo $login->username; ?> fetches the username just fine.
I know there’s something missing, but what that might be… Have been trying different things without success.

    /**
     * Select the database
     *
     * @access    private called by the base class
     * @return    resource
     */
    function db_select()
    {
        return @mysql_select_db($this->database, $this->conn_id);
    }

I have developed a code for a login and seems to work well (No syntax error according to https://phpcodechecker.com/ but when I enter a username and a password in the login form, I get an error HTTP 500. I think that everything is ok in the code but obviously there is something that I am not thinking about. The code (excluding db connection):

$id="''"; $username = $_POST['username']; $password = md5($_POST['password']); $func = "SELECT contrasena FROM users WHERE username='$username'";

$realpassask = $conn->query($func); $realpassaskres = $realpassask->fetch_assoc(); $realpass= $realpassaskres[contrasena];

$func2 = "SELECT bloqueado FROM users WHERE username='$username'"; $blockedask = $conn->query($func2); $blockedres = $blockedask->fetch_assoc(); $bloqueado = $blockedres[bloqueado];

//Login if(!empty($username)) { // Check the email with database
$userexists = $pdo->prepare("SELECT COUNT(username) FROM users WHERE username= '$username' LIMIT 1"); $userexists->bindParam(':username', $username); $userexists->execute(); // Get the result $userexistsres = $userexists->fetchColumn(); // Check if result is greater than 0 - user exist if( $userexistsres == 1) { if ($bloqueado == NO) { if ($password != $realpass) { die("contrasena incorrecta"); } Else{ $_SESSION['loguin']="OK"; $_SESSION['username']="$username"; header("Location: ./index.php"); } } Else{ die("Tu usuario ha sido bloqueado o todavía no ha sido aceptado por un administrador. } Else{ die("No hay ninguna cuenta con este nombre de usuario"); } } else { echo 'El campo usuario esta vacio'; } ?>

Hi,

I have finished a webshop (coded in php, Javascript, MySQL) for a client and they want to add a Forum . Does anyone have any recommendations for a free forum I can just drop in with minimal setup ?

In an ideal world it would be good if it used MySQL so I can create a forum account at the same time they create their customer account, but its not the end of the world if that's not possible.
 

Many thanks
