redirect user based on access level

Using the Log In User server behavior I am trying to redirect users to different pages based on their access level.  For example, users of access level X would be redirected to x.html while users of access level Y would be redirected to y.html and so on.  Any idea how I can adapt the code generated by the Log In User server behavior to give my login page this capability?  I'm using php/mysql.

Thanks,

Reiger

Correct answer David_Powers

With the Dreamweaver Log In User server behavior, you send users to a single page if they log in successfully. Set that page to accept users of both access levels.

Inside the page, use a conditional statement to redirect the users to their relevant pages. Access level is stored in a session variable called $_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'].

if ($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'] == 'x') {
  header('Location: http://www.example.com/x.php');
  exit;
} elseif ($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'] == 'y') {
  header('Location: http://www.example.com/y.php');
  exit;
}
