Calling session (user)

[Guest]

Hi guys,

I want to display the user name in the dynamic textfield on the login success page (new page) but it keeps giving me 'undefined'. What's the problem?

login.php

<?php

session_start();

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

$_SESSION['username'] = $username;

. //other codes

.

.

?>

adminPage.php (successpage)

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];

$username = $_GET['username'];

    print "session=$username";

            ?>

AS3

import flash.display.*;

import flash.events.*;

import flash.net.URLLoader;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.net.URLVariables;

import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;

import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;

var phpVarsSession:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

var phpFileRequestSession:URLRequest = new URLRequest("adminPage.php");

phpFileRequestSession.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

var phpLoaderSession:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

phpLoaderSession.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

phpLoaderSession.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showSession);

phpVarsSession.user = user.text;

phpFileRequestSession.data = phpVarsSession;

phpLoaderSession.load(phpFileRequestSession);

function showSession(event:Event):void

{ 

user.text = "" + event.target.data.session;

}

use:

adminPage.php (successpage)

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];

$username = $_POST['username'];

    print "session=$username";

            ?>

Hey, thanks for replying.

I did use the code you gave me but it's still undefined though. Maybe the actionscript is the problem?

copy and paste the trace output from:

AS3

import flash.display.*;

import flash.events.*;

import flash.net.URLLoader;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.net.URLVariables;

import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;

import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;

var phpVarsSession:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

var phpFileRequestSession:URLRequest = new URLRequest("adminPage.php");

phpFileRequestSession.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

var phpLoaderSession:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

phpLoaderSession.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

phpLoaderSession.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showSession);

phpVarsSession.user = user.text;

trace("send",phpVarsSession.user);

phpFileRequestSession.data = phpVarsSession;

phpLoaderSession.load(phpFileRequestSession);

function showSession(event:Event):void

{ 

trace("received");

for(var s:String in event.target.data){

trace(s,event.target.data);

}

user.text = "" + event.target.data.session;

}

Nope. Didn't work. I've read from somewhere that the order of the session counts..I've tried it but it still doesn't work. But it's ok..it's not compulsory though, just trying to enhance my project. Haha.

you didn't follow my suggestion.

[Guest]

I did follow your suggestion but it's still undefined.

[kglad]

this was the suggestion:  copy and paste the trace output from:

where's the trace output?

[Guest]

Meaning i should edit my php too right? As it trace the send and received between the php and AS.. Sorry if i'm wrong, i don't really get what you mean.

[kglad]

use the message 1 correction for your php.  that corrected an error in you php.

use the actionscript in message 3 which contains code to begin finding the cause of the problem.

if you're testing online and don't know how to check trace output from a browser, post the url to your embedding html page.

Alrighty. I'll try that very soon. I'll report back to you if i run to any problems. Thanks so much for your time.

you're welcome.
