Re: can a session be used in a query?

One other thought. If you are getting a blank page with no errors or out put at all, I've noticed that I somtimes have to get the page to load successfully before the web server will dish out the error. What I normally do is upload a blank php page with the same name as the one I am working on, load it up, and then upload the page with all the code and refresh. I never really looked into why this was, but it's not that big of a hassle for me. *shrug* Frank ""Terion Miller"" <webdev.terion@gmail.com> wrote in message news:37405f850901071146i11d33987ga747ef2e4932fb7d@mail.gmail.com... >I am still struggling with getting my sessions and logins to pull just the > allotted data that each user is allowed... > I have the session working, and can echo it to see that .. what I'm having > problems with is this : I want to pull the data specific to each user > ..right... so far I either get all data regardless of user privileges or I > get nothing.. a blank page, I have tried so many ways but never one that > works: here are a few I have worked with---- > > This one pulls all data regardless of user level: > <?php > error_reporting(E_ALL); > ini_set('display_errors', '1'); > session_start(); > include("inc/dbconn_open.php"); > > > if (empty($_SESSION['AdminLogin']) OR $_SESSION['AdminLogin'] <> > 'True' ){ > header ("Location: LogOut.php"); > } > > > $query = "SELECT * FROM admin WHERE AdminID = AdminID"; > $result = mysql_query ($query); > $row = mysql_fetch_object ($result); > ?> > > From there I tried: > > <?php > error_reporting(E_ALL); > ini_set('display_errors', '1'); > session_start(); > include("inc/dbconn_open.php"); > > > if (empty($_SESSION['AdminLogin']) || $_SESSION['AdminLogin'] != true){ > header ("Location: LogOut.php"); > } > > > $query = > "SELECT * FROM admin WHERE > UserName = `{$_SESSION['user']}"; > $result = mysql_query ($query); > $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); > ?> > > this one didn't work with the if $row -> statements that are used to > select > what menu items to load. > > Now I have this one which loads nothing, nil a blank page: > > $query = "SELECT * FROM admin WHERE UserName = > "$_SESSION['user']" "; > $result=mysql_query($query) or die('Queryproblem: ' . mysql_error() . > '<br />Executed query: ' . $query); > if (mysql_num_rows($result) >= '1'){ > while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){ > echo $row['AddEditAdmin']; //to print out the value of column > 'var1' for each record > } > }else{ > echo 'No records found.'; > } > ?> > > anyone have ideas for me, the session user is working, and I need to use > it > in the query to pull only that users data I also on the login page where I > set that session all set it to = $UserName but when I try and use that in > the query UserName = $UserName I get an undefined variable error... > > Really trying but not quite getting it... >
