I'd like to write a user login where a user can enter his username and
password. If it's correct he/she should be able to access all my PHP pages.
My plan was to set a session variable like e.g. $_SESSION['auth_ok'] to TRUE
(user login was okay) resp. FALSE (user login was wrong) and to test at the
beginning of each PHP page is this variable is TRUE. However, in my example
below I'm not even able to use the session variable
$_SESSION['session_application'] of login.php in the second PHP file
logincheck.php. $_SESSION['session_application'] is always empty.
login.php
=========
<html>
<body>
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['session_application'] = "My Test Application";
?>
...
<form name = "my_form" action = "logincheck.php" method = "post"
accept-charset = "iso-8859-1">
...
<?php
echo $_SESSION['session_application'];
?>
...
<input type = "text" name = "username" value = "">
<input type = "password" name = "password" value = "">
<input type = "submit" name = "my_button" value = "Login">
...
</form>
</body>
</html>
logincheck.php
==============
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo $_SESSION['session_application'];
echo "Username: " . $_POST['username'] . "<br>";
echo "Password: " . $_POST['password'] . "<br>";
?>
</body>
</html>
Why is $_SESSION['session_application'] in logincheck.php empty? What did I
do wrong?
Is my approach to do what I'd like to do with a session variable like e.g.
$_SESSION['auth_ok'] correct?
