How to mask the address on the browser using PHP??

I have making a web page using PHP, everytime the people need to login in the index page first, then they will go to the main page.
Since I don't want the people can get the main page and another page address directly and I want to advoid then they can link to the main page directly, I want to do is to mask the address of the pages , also they go to another pages but the pelope only can see the index page address on the browser on every page.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

just check at the begining of every page whether the user is logged in, if not he will be automatically redirected to the login page. So people may know the adress, but they cannot use it, without being logged in. Another way maybe possible by changing some parts in the apache configuration, but I am not very familiar with this.

Hi,
try using frames. just make your frameset rows=*,1 the first frame src=your login page and redirect from there to your main page.

this is not a real solution, because you will always see the complete url, if you use the right mouse button. If somebody will see the page with frames and is not logged in, he can. You have to permit it via php or via the web server (apache is able to).

How to check the user is logged in or not?

Would you give me some reference programs or source code about this??

Anon

I don't want to use the frame set, but do you have any other suggestion about to mask the address to me?

Hi JJ,

ok now I know:

at first get the login and password via HTML:

<form action="login.php3" method="post">
name: <input type="text" size="10" name="user">
login: <input type="password" size="10" name="login">
<input type="submit" value="login">
</form>

then log the person in via

<?
function login_first() {
global $user, $login;
if ($user) {
if ($login=="password") {
$success=setcookie("user",$user,time()+28800);
$ok="ok";
} else {
$ok=false;
}
}
return $ok;
}

$ok=login_first();

then test the $ok if everything is OK:

<? if ($ok!="ok") { echo "sorry wrong password or login <a href='login.htm'>back</a>"; exit; } ?>

on every other page, after the login begin with:

$ok=login_test();

function login_test() {
global $user, $login;

$hallo=setcookie("user",$user,time()+28800);
if ($name) {
$ok="ok";
} else {
echo "Cookie not set";
$ok="nope";
exit;
}
}

if the user is logged in the variable $user exists and you can show the page content, if not just redirect him again to the login.

to log out use this:

function logout() {
global $user, $login;
$ok=setcookie("user","",time()+1);
}

hope this helps, if you have questions, you can ask me

I would also like to find out how to show only the top level URL in the address bar.

As to the previous solution it is overkill.

In you login page, create a session cookie once they log on successfully. Then at the top of each page check to see

if !exists($cookiename) header("Location etc")

Works for me.
