Hi folks,
I apologize if this is a little less Jquery and a
little more "general AJAX/PHP" in nature, but I am
completely stuck and was hoping there's tribal
knowledge I failed to learn.
I have a login panel on each page of my site. The
actual authentication takes place in a file called
login.php, called via ajaxsubmit (async set to false).
login.php calls a few functions that are in an
included file called startsession.php (meaning,
startsession.php is included in every normal page;
it's not called/included using ajax or anything).
These startsession functions handle setting $_SESSION
vars once the user is authenticated (or removes them
if the user is logged out or information is corrupt,
etc).
Both the regular page and login.php call
session_start().
I'm seeing some very weird behavior.
startsession appears to be setting the $_SESSION vars
correctly. The problem is, they don't seem to be
sticking. First of all, startsession.php appears to
refresh itself AFTER the ajax call is complete, even
though the only places this file would be in are in
login.php (already called in ajaxsubmit) and the
regular file. When startsession.php refreshes itself,
it doesn't see the $_SESSION vars and subsequently
logs me out.
Furthermore, I was under the impression that I could
do something like this, after the ajax call:
var loggedin = <?=$_SESSION['loggedin']?>;
if (loggedin == true)
{
$("div#login").hide();
$("div#logout").unhide();
}
else
{
$("div#login").unhide();
$("div#logout").hide();
}
I had been hoping to avoid reading the responseText...
though after looking at it now, I'm realizing that
there's no way this would work; even though session
vars are set on, well, the session, it seems that
you'd have to reload the page for PHP to pick it up,
period.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know this is
probably something easy. :/
thanks,
-kim
