Hello all,
I have posted a similar question in comp.lang.php in the past, but haven't
had any response to it then. I kinda swept the problem under the rug since
then. But I would really like to resolve this issue once and for all now.
The problem might be PHP related but since I only develop applications using
PHP, I'm not a hundred percent sure. Therefor I've taken the liberty to
crosspost to comp.lang.php and alt.www.webmaster. I assume the majority of
frequent contributors of these groups have dealt with developing session
management also, so I'm kind of hoping your experience in this field might
resolve this issue.
The problem is the following:
User profiles on the site I'm developing will be publically available
through:
http://www.example.com/profile/view/<username>
A users own profile (when logged in) will be available through:
http://www.example.com/profile/view/ or
http://www.example.com/profile/ (which will redirect to last url)
So when an anonymous user visits one of these last two pages, the requested
page is stored as a referer in a session and the user is redirected to
http://www.example.com/user/login/
where the user is prompted to login.
On succes it gets redirected to the stored referer url again. A pretty
common procedure I would assume.
This works fine on either IE or Firefox (windows). But in Opera I get
multiple sessions created in the database of which one *does* contains a
userId but Opera redirects back to the login page again.
Only when I manually enter the target url I do get to see the logged in
users profile page.
My application examins $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ] to determine which page to
serve. So, after much testing, I thought it might have something to do with
Opera's favicon requests.
But after defining an extra RewriteRule
RewriteRule ^(.*)favicon.ico /images/favicon.gif [NC,L]
in my .htaccess file, the problem still persisted.
Are any of you formiliar with this issue?
I understand that this might be difficult to interpret without seeing any
code. But since the code is pretty extensive, and I haven't really narrowed
it down to a particular few lines, I thought I describe the problem without
code first. Maybe somebody has had similar experiences and knows what the
problem could be.
But if you desire to examine some code, I'ld be happy to put some up on a
filesharing server for you to view. (e.g. the session wrapper class and
other relevant code).
Thank you for your time and input.
Cheers.
