Session to url

[Gotharious]

hello all,

 

What I want to do is, make the session ID clickable in a url here

 

Login Successful <a href="user.php">Conitnue</a>

 

so when a user logs in, his ID gets in the link of Continue so he can only see his information

 

so for example, if his id is 10, then the url would be ....user.php?id=10

Login Successful <a href="user.php?id=<?php echo $_SESSION["user_id"]?>">Conitnue</a>

ok thanks, that's great

 

now what if I want to redirect based on the user type

 

I mean it looks up the database, and check the column type, and if this user is admin it redirects to admin.php, if staff then to staff.php and if client, then to client.php

 

I tried header but didn't work at all

[watsmyname]

if you've outputted or echoed something before header code, it won't work, instead you can use (though is not a good approach)

 

<?php echo "<script>document.location.href='admin.php'</script>";?>

no, I'm not following now

 

ok here is the code, what do I need to add?

 

<?php
if (isset($_POST['email']))
{
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

//Query

$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '$email' AND password = '$password' ");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results);
$count=mysql_num_rows($results);

if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_register("email");
session_register("password"); 
header("location:index.php");
$_SESSION['id'] = $row['id'];
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password, Please click back and try again";
}


mysql_close($con);

}
?>

Ok, I've done it

 

here is the code I used

 

<?php

$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '$email' AND password = '$password' ");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results);
$count=mysql_num_rows($results);

if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_register("email");
session_register("password");

$_SESSION['id'] = $row['id'];
$type = $row['type']; 

switch ($type) 
    { 
    case ($type=='client'): 
    		    header("location:user.php"); 
        break; 
    case ($type=='Company'): 
    	    header("location:Users.php"); 
        break; 
    case ($type=='employee'): 
    	    header("location:employee.php"); 
        break; 
    } 

    	
    	}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password, Please click back and try again";
}



mysql_close($con);

}

?>
