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);
