Question

MULTI-USER AUTHENTICATION PAGE

I WOULD LIKE TO MODIFY MY PHP SERVER BEHAVIOR OF 'LOG IN USER' TO ALLOW THE USERS TO LOGIN TO THEIR SPECIFIC ACCOUNT PAGE AFTER A USER NAME AND PASSWORD LOGIN SUCCESS INSTEAD OF ROUTING ALL USERS TO THE SAME PAGE. THIS FEATURE IS USED IN MANY BANKING WEBSITES WHERE A CUSTOMER MAY VIEW THEIR ACCOUNT INFORMATION ON-LINE AFTER LOGGING IN. I WOULD LIKE TO CREATE THE SAME ENVIRONMENT FOR MY CUSTOMERS AS WELL.

I am using Dreamweaver CS3. This server behavior calls for a database connection. I happen to have a MYSQL database on my hosting service on my server. It has three columns which include 'username' 'password' & destination_page'. I have the database to the behavior and it works however it only directs the user to a single page. I want to change it so it redirects the user to the 'destination_page'.

please help me!!!!

I replied with your full post quoted an it didn't include any mention of the server behavior you were using. If you happen to be using the online forums and went back and edited your post for some reason, then those edits do not move into the NNTP forum where generally the folks that answer many of the posts. So please do not edit your posts, as the folks that are likely to answer your post won't see any of the edits. If you have additional information for your question, please post a reply to your thread rather than edit the post.

You don't say what server behavior so it would be pretty hard for anyone to be able to suggest a way to modify the code you're using.

General practice is to have one account page and display the content for the user that is logged in. Much easier to control, and you don't have to create a new page for each new user that comes on board.


If you have to have separate pages for each user, then you should be able to easily modify the code that you're using to redirect the user to their own page. In this case I'd put the file name for each user into the database along with their username and password, and then pull that value from the db when you're accessing the database to confirm they can log in. Then use that file name as the redirect (send user to when logged in page).
