Curtis,
the call to session_register needs a string that names the variable:
Instead of:
session_register($username);
You need:
session_register('username');
This would register the $username variable....

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Redirection Question.
I've got everything working except for one piece.
I'm trying to authenticat users against a mySQL database and then
once they are authenticated I'm trying to create a session that's the
same as their username. Once the session is established I want to
redirect them to another page that requires the session to be
established. However I get everything except for the redirection to
work.
At this point I have already authenticated them by finding a row in
the database with the username and password they entered through a
form. Now I want to establish a session with their authenticated
username.
Here is where the code is failing.
if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
//if there is a row in the database then the user
//must have submitted the username and matching password
session_start();
session_register($username);
header ("Location: ./myinfo.php"); //THIS IS NOT WORKING!!!!!
//exit;
/* I tried with and without the exit.
If I do without the exit nothing happens
and the below is not shown on the screen.
When I try it with the exit the below is
shown and I'm still not redirected.
*/
//echo "<b><i>We have located you in the database!</b><p>";
}
else
{echo "<b><i>No Records Found!</b><p>";}
//Show login again
Any tips, ideas, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Curt
