PHP - Different Logins For Different Directories - One Landing Page

I am about to attempt to write my first php script from scratch after a year or so of copying and adapting code.

I am going to do a registration/login in system and thinking ahead, want to make sure that once someone is logged in, this information is passed from page to page (so they do not have to log in again on each page) and I would also like to provide a 'Remember Me' option.

I have had a read up and from what I gather, sessions would be better for showing someone is logged in from page to page and cookies would be the only way to implement a 'Remember Me'.

Would this be the best way to approach this or is/are there better ways?

Thanks in advance

Hey guys, Im trying to combine 2 logs to seperate parts of a website into 1.

One of them uses sessions to store it.
And the other uses cookies to login.

I cant seem to get it working AT ALL.

Even tho the cookies are being set and I can see it being set in firefox.

Here is the page with the sessions.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['username'])){
$username = $_POST['username']; //name of the text field for usernames
$password = $_POST['password']; //likewise here just for the password
//connect to the db
$user = 'root'; 
$pswd = ''; 
$db = 'chat';
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', $user, $pswd);
mysql_select_db($db, $conn);
//run the query to search for the username and password the match
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username' AND password ='$password'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Unable to verify user because : " . mysql_error());

//this is where the actual verification happens
    if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1){
    //the username and password match
    //so e set the session to true
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
    
    //STUFF FROM HERE TO THE OTHER COMMENT IS STUFF I ADDED MANUALLY TRYING TO GET THE COOKIES TO BE SET SO THEY WORK FOR BOTH
    $username = $_COOKIE['user_id']; 
    $pass = $_COOKIE['pass_id'];
    setcookie("user_id", "$username", time()+3600);
    setcookie("pass_id", "$pass", time()+3600);
    //END OF THE CUSTOM STUFF, IT DOESNT WORK FOR SOME REASON
    
    
    
    //and then move them to the index page or the page to which they need to go
    header('Location: index.php');
    }else{
    $err = 'Incorrect username / password.' ;
    }
    //then just above your login form or where ever you want the error to be displayed you just put in
    echo $err;
    }
    else

?>

I made comments // in the code so you can see whats going on.



Here is the code that uses cookies, also it uses 2 pages.
This is the one I think that mainly adds the cookies.
<?php
// Login Logic

$username = "";
$err = "";
$err_style = "";
$err_style2= "";

//Checks if there is a login cookie
if(isset($_COOKIE['user_id'])) { 

    //if there is, it logs you in and directes you to the members page
    
    $username = $_COOKIE['user_id']; 
    $pass = $_COOKIE['pass_id'];
    $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error());$quer++;
    while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) {
        if ($pass != $info['password']) {
        
        }
        else {
            header("Location: index.php");
        }
    }
}

//if the login form is submitted
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // if form has been submitted

    // SANITISE
    
    $username     = sanitize($_POST['username']);
    $pass                = sanitize($_POST['pass']);
    $red                = sanitize($_POST['red']);
    
        // makes sure they filled it in
    if(!$_POST['username']) {
        $err = 'You did not fill in a required section';
        $err_style = "style='border: 1px solid #CC0000'";
        $show_login = 1;
    }
        if(!$_POST['pass']) {
        $err = 'You did not fill in a required section';
        $err_style2 = "style='border: 1px solid #CC0000'";
        $show_login = 1;
    }
    // checks it against the database
    
    if (!$err) {
    $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '".$username."'")or die(mysql_error());$quer++;

    //Gives error if user dosen't exist
    $check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);
    
    if ($check2 == 0) {
        $err = 'User not found - please try again!';
        $err_style = "style='border: 1px solid #CC0000'";
        $show_login = 1;
    }
    
    while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) {
        $info['password'] = stripslashes($info['password']);
        $pass = $pass;

        //gives error if the password is wrong
        if ($pass != $info['password']) {
            $err = 'Incorrect password, please try again.';
            $err_style2= "style='border: 1px solid #B02B2C;'";
            $show_login = 1;
        }
        else { 

        // if login is ok then we add a cookie 
        $hour = time() + 3600; 
        setcookie("user_id", $username, $hour); 
        setcookie("pass_id", $pass, $hour);    

        //then redirect them to the members area 
        
        if (!$red) {
            header("Location: index.php"); 
        } else {
            header("Location: $red.php"); 
        }
        exit;
        } 
    } 
    
    }
} 

?>

Here is the other page it also includes inside.
<?php 
Check.php


session_start();

//checks cookies to make sure they are logged in 


if(isset($_COOKIE['user_id'])) { 
    $username = $_COOKIE['user_id']; 
    $pass = $_COOKIE['pass_id']; 
    $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or die(mysql_error());$quer++;
    
    while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )) { 
        //if the cookie has the wrong password, they are taken to the login page 
        if ($pass != $info['password']) { 
            header("Location: login.php"); 
        } 

        //otherwise they are shown the admin area    
        else { 
        // Update some info
    
        setcookie ("user_id", $_COOKIE['user_id'], time() + 3600 );
        setcookie ("pass_id", $_COOKIE['pass_id'], time() + 3600 );

        // Get some basic user details, so we can use these later!
        $uname = $info['username'];
        $uID        = $info['user_id'];
        $loggedin = 1;
        $admin_user    = $info['admin'];
        } 
    } 
}
 
?>


Thanks for the upcoming help that you all provide.

If anything else is needed please post here and il provide it.

Hey guys does anyone know of a good dynamic directory solution? What i mean by this is when i am creating an application and i use


require_once 'includes/config.php';


and then i create a class that needs the config file so i include it into the class like so:


require_once '../include/config.php';


then i make a new folder named member then i have to require this class (created above) and it fails to find the directory.

What would be a good solution for this?

Thanks guys!!

So I have a simple template that I want to be the index page of the website that I'm working on, however, I don't want to have to create several almost identical files for each of the directories.   Is there perhaps anyway that I can change the content of the main div yet the address be a different directory.   So for example, this is the main index page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

But if you look in the <h2> tag in the 'MainContent' div, then you'll see it reads "Home". What I want to happen is that when I change the page, for example, go to /about I want it to read <h2>About</h2>. I have 4 different pages for this so far, is there any way to get it down to just one yet they be in different directories?   P.S The reason this is in the PHP Help section is because I assumed that it would more than likely be something to do with PHP.

I am using the following code:

Code: [Select]
<?php 
 $target = "images/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
 $ok=1; 
 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
 {
 echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
 } 
 else {
 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file.";
 }
 ?>
I am using this to upload photos to the directory called 'images'.

How could I change this code so that I can choose an existing directory to upload it to and also create a new directory to upload it to if I wanted?

I am a php newb. I have 2 somewhat simple problems. First I have a huge list of movies that I would like sorted in a drop down list alphabetically. I already have the drop down list made and the movies show up correctly. But I cannot figure out how to sort the list. Here is the code

<?php
$dir="/backup/Movies";
 if ($handle = opendir($dir)) {
   while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle)))
      {
          if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != "index.php")
     {
             $thelist .= '<option>'.$file.'</option>';
          }
       }
  closedir($handle);
  }
?>
<form action="listen.php" method="post" name="table">
<select name="Movie">
<P><?=$thelist?></p>'
</select>
</form>

Second problem is inside this directory there are a few other directories is it possible to make the directories show at the top instead of them being sorted alphabetically with the movies.

Thanks in advance
Jake

i need to convert the following path
Code: [Select]
$url=http://www.test.com/images/1/7/4/7/9/thumb.jpg to
  Code: [Select]
$updated_url= /home/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/images/1/7/4/7/9/thumb.jpgThe directories in the url are created dynamically

Right now what i am doin is
Code: [Select]
$updated_url='/home/vhosts/'.$url.'/httpdocs/images/'.basename($url)which gives me /home/vhosts/test.com/httpdocs/images/thumb.

But I also need to get the directories 1/7/4/7/9. It may be differ for different urls.
Can this be done through some form of string replacement or pattern matching method?

I have one input upload and need it to go to two directories here is my upload code that handles the move_upload_file portion.
Code: [Select]
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fillPDF']['tmp_name'], $strNewsPath . $strFilename);
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

This is a fairly simple question, but the explanation of the question isn't... I'll do my best.

I have a site where my folders/sub-folders/files are arranged similar to this:
                     _                       
Root Folder -| Root-IncludeFile1.php
                    | Root-IncludeFile2.php
                    |                         _
                    |  Sub-Folder 1 -| Sub1-File1.php
                    |                        |_Sub1-File2.php
                    |                        _
                    | Sub-Folder 2 -| Sub2-File1.php
                    |                       |_Sub2-File2.php
                    |                         _
                    |_Sub-Folder 3 -| Sub3-IncludeFile1.php
                                             |_Sub3-IncludeFile2.php

Hopefully that makes sense to everyone.  Anyway, I know that to include a file that is in the root folder in file in a sub-folder, I can do this - include("../includefile1.php"); -but I'm trying to include a file that is in a sub folder in a file that is in another sub-folder.  For example, I'm trying to include "Sub3-IncludeFile1.php" in "Sub-File1.php"  I'm lost on this because I can't get it to work.  I'm not getting any error messages except to say that the variables located in the file that should be included are not found.

I've tried to do this: include("http://www.mysite.com/Sub-Folder3/Sub3-IncludeFile1.php"); and it doesn't work.  Can someone please point me in the right direction?  Thanks in advance for your help.

I have written a piece of code that create a directories, files on the server using mkdir and touch and also inserts the form data into the table.. the code gets executed and the info gets stored in the database but the part which has the create directories. and files dont work as it doesnt create the directory and files on the server.. do i need to make changes to the php.ini file to enable the mkdir and touch feature to get enabled? as i said the code executes without any error.. I dont know wat to do.. please any help would be appreciated!!
thanku

How do I include a file that is located two directories above the file that I want to include the file into?

My absolute hosting path is /home/content/52/8840652/html if this would be of any use. I'm not quite sure about the PHP include functions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

Here is my code which i use to recieve uploaded files.

Specifically i want to highlight this part:

$exclude_list;
  $dir_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
  $dir_path .= "/file/unzipped/";
  $directories = array_diff(scandir($fileunzippath.$clean_name), $exclude_list);
  foreach($directories as $entry) {
    if(is_dir($dir_path.$entry)) {
		if($entry != 'part0' || $entry !='part1')
		{
			 rmdir($entry);
		}
    }
  }

When I upload a zip file containing 2 directories(one called 'part0', and one called 'bad'), they get unzipped correctly and it gives no errors, however the fake directories(not called part0 or part1) I put in there are still there. Any Help?
