Cannot login as specific page

[st3vi3]

Hi guys. I'm newbie here and newbie in php language as well.

I try to create (using localhost) a new login page using 3 users which is, 3 users group (admin, staff, user). I also create 3 difference user interface for that users. For my concern, I don't need drop down menu/button to select user group to login at the first login page for another purpose.

For example, if I want to login as admin, I just set my username and password to login and direct to admin/admin_screen.php........

Example php coding attach below.

Code: Select all

<form method="POST"
<?php
$username = "";
$sql = sqlStatement("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '". $username ."'");
$row = sqlFetchArray($sql);
$result[0] = $row;
$user = $result[0]{"user_group"};

if ($user=="1")
{
   $addurl = "../admin/admin_screen.php?auth=login&site=";
}
else if ($user=="2")
{
   $addurl = "../staff/staff_screen.php?auth=login&site=";
}
else if ($user=="3")
{
   $addurl = "../user/user_screen.php?auth=login&site=";
}

?>
 action="<?php echo $addurl . htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['site_id']); ?>"
 target="_top" name="login_form" onSubmit="return imsubmitted();">


After click button submit login, this error occur. This page not direct into my specific address in if....else statement

The way you've got this login system set up seems a bit strange to me, I'm having trouble understanding how you're trying to work this. Apparently you've already got they're username and you're asking them to submit a form to determine where they go from here?

In your browser when it's displaying this login form, view the page source and tell me what it's showing after action="

1). breaking the form tag as you have did is not required. you can start the <form tag just before the word "action".

2). Please print this, echo $addurl . htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['site_id']) and decide if it is using the correct url to proceed after login.

Thanks Parrot for the quick reply,

I'm sorry if I gave you the confusion. I'm also don't get what are you try to state with this statement Apparently you've already got they're username and you're asking them to submit a form to determine where they go from here?? Is it about this sql statement

Code: Select all

$sql = sqlStatement("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '". $username ."'");

?

It's not showing anything on action=" and action itself not appear in view page source.

I need to see the page source for the page with your login form, not the "object not found" page.

Thanks johnj,
1). Which means like this?

Code: Select all

<?php
$username = "";
$sql = sqlStatement("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '". $username ."'");
$row = sqlFetchArray($sql);
$result[0] = $row;
$user = $result[0]{"user_group"};

if ($user=="1")
{
   $addurl = "../main/main_screen.php?auth=login&site=";
}
else if ($user=="2")
{
   $addurl = "../main_doc/main_screen.php?auth=login&site=";
}
else if ($user=="3")
{
   $addurl = "../main_front/main_screen.php?auth=login&site=";
}

?>
<form method="POST"
 action="<?php echo $addurl . htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['site_id']); ?>"
 target="_top" name="login_form" onSubmit="return imsubmitted();">

I have try this code but it same like before as well.

2). I have try to change $username = "admin"; and it can be login as usual, but it just login admin page only. If I login as another users like staff or user, it just direct to admin page as well, not page (UI) staff or user. I don't know what is the problem. It's problem after I change $username = "";.

Thanks for the help Mr. johnj

I'm not angry with you.

What you're showing me here is the page source for the main frame. Could you show me the page source for the login frame?

Check your admin file path.
