Hi there,

Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Here is what I would like to achieve, I want to have a login screen where you can enter a username/password and depending on the username/password entered it will direct you to a folder for that user

eg; user1 would log in and be directed to domain.com/user1
user2 would log in and be directed to domain.com/user2

also obviously, user2 shouldn't be able to change the address to domain.com/user1 and be allowed access to that folder and so on.

Please can anyone point me in the right direction for how to achieve this? I have been following a tutorial to create a login page but that directs to the same page for all users

EDIT: maybe this should be in the PHP section

here is part of the php code being used, i see where it directs to folder/index.php
is it possible here to add something like;

if user = user1 goto user1/index.php
if user = user2 goto user2/index.php

	function validate_user($un, $pwd) {
		$mysql = New Mysql();
		$ensure_credentials = $mysql->verify_Username_and_Pass($un, md5($pwd));
		
		if($ensure_credentials) {
			$_SESSION['status'] = 'authorized';
			header("location: folder/index.php");
		} else return "Please enter a correct username and password";
		
	} 

Sorry my php really isnt that great, also maybe should add the usernames / passwords are stored in a mysql db

Thanks

Why don't you use username as folder names to redirect?

your code will look like

function validate_user($un, $pwd) {
                $mysql = New Mysql();
                $ensure_credentials = $mysql->verify_Username_and_Pass($un, md5($pwd));
                
                if($ensure_credentials) {
                        $_SESSION['status'] = 'authorized';
                        header("location: $un/");
                } else return "Please enter a correct username and password";
                
        }

To create folder upon confirmed registration use mkdir.

mkdir("user_folders/$un",0777);
