ID: 22861 User updated by: notepad at codewalkers dot com Reported By: notepad at codewalkers dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: winxp pro IIS PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: i'm so sorry.. my login function is the problem - as it's last return value is false (blank line) i'd delete this if i knew how.. sorry Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-24 16:26:09] notepad at codewalkers dot com i couldn't get sessions to destroy in PHP v4.3.1. - it seemed to set the variable $_SESSION['valid_user'] even when the login form is left blank (allowing you to login as anyone). so i made login a seperate function, and now the login function won't return true even if it's a valid attempt.. craziness i was thinkin that maybe my approach is wrong, but, then nobody else seems to be able to tell me why it doesn't work. my apologies if i'm just blind testdb.txt example: myuserid|mypass sessiontest.php example: <?php session_start(); if(isset($_POST['userid']) && isset($_POST['password'])) { // if user has just tried to login $userid = trim($_POST['userid']); $password = trim($_POST['password']); } // retrieve info from database, register id if they're in the database $data = file('testdb.txt'); function login($db, $id, $pass) { foreach($db as $key=>$value) { $divide = explode('|', $value); if(($divide[0] == "$id") && ($divide[1] == "$pass")) return true; else return false; } } if(@login($data, $userid, $password)) { $_SESSION['valid_user'] = $userid; $olduser = $_SESSION['valid_user']; $oldid = session_id(); $_COOKIE = array(); $_SESSION = array(); $_REQUEST = array(); session_destroy(); echo '<html><body>'; echo 'you are logged in as '.$olduser.' : '.$oldid.'<br>'; echo '<br><a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'">logout</a>'; } elseif(isset($userid)) echo 'could not log you in'; else echo 'you are not logged in'; ?> <html><body> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <table><tr><td> userid: </td><td> <input type="text" name="userid"> </td></tr><tr><td> password: </td><td> <input type="password" name="password"> </td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" align="center"> <input type="submit" value="login"> </td></tr></table></form> </body></html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22861&edit=1
