Web Protect - Get Userid Entered

[dpkyte]

I am setting up a directory with WEB PROTECT. I want to build the page based on their userid entered. How can I grab the userid they enter?

 

I have one Admin page, 6 different categories, based on their userid (usercat1, usercat2 ...) I want to filter the data they can access (cat1, cat2 ...)

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello DPK,

 

I am guessing from having a think that you would either need to use a session ID or cookie.

I found the following to get the id:

$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'].

 

Issue now is logging out.

 

I've tried

 

session_start();

session_unset();

session_destroy();

 

but I found out PHP sessions won't have anything to do with .htaccess logins.

 

So, any thoughts here?

Hello,

 

Am i guessing correctley that you now wish to loose the session when the user closes thier window or moves to another website?

Would like a button to execute to log out. That way they can log in with another userid if necessary.

Hello,

 

Hmm the internet seems full of different ideas with everybody claiming that everyone elses doesnt work.

 

Anyway, try this, save it as logout.php and call it by pressing the button:

 

><?php
session_start();

// if the user is logged in, unset the session
if (isset($_SESSION['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
  unset($_SESSION['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
}
if (isset($_SESSION['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) {
  unset($_SESSION['PHP_AUTH_PW']);
}
// now that the user is logged out,
// go to login page or whatever
header('Location: login.php');
?>

That did not seem to work either.

 

Thanks though
