Hi guys kinda new to php.
Ok I have a php page that a user has to enter a pw to gain access to another page
(lets call it authPage).However before I i can grant access to authPage I want to
verify 1. that a pw was entered and 2. that it is correct. So I thought it would be
better NOT to do the auth in authPage but rather have another page that does the
authorization. Lets call that page verifyPage. On here if the password is entered and
is correct according to the DB then I want to create and register a session. This is
how ive done the session section:
session_register('user');
$_SESSION['user'] = "ebusUser";
Then I want the session to call authPage (because the pw is correct) together with the
session variable. The way I am doing this (doesnt seem to be working) is to call
authPage with as a header call eg:
header("Location: authPage.php");
The problem I think I am having is that the session variable isnt being passed to the
authPAge. How else can I call the authPage from verifyPage so that the session
variable gets passed. BTW I have register_globals = on;
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
