Multipage redirection after authoriztion

[Anon]

I am writing to see if anyone has developed a code that would send different users to different pages depening on who logged in! I cant seem to make it work! I have a javascript way but it is a bit tedious to update! Anyone that could provide help would be greatly appreciated.

try header relocation, better than the js way as it whisks you away b4 the page is output.

so, a quick eg.
say the user has logged in, and their username is in $user

Header("Location: user_$user.html");

so if the user is golfp, this code
would relocate the user to user_golfp.html

NOTE: the header function must be run b4 any out put to the browser occurs

hope this helps

Or if you have a function that allows you to determine group membership (believe me, using groups or field values tied to users will be much more maintainable if your site grows) will help do the trick.

function isMemberOfGroup($user, $group) {
...
}

// page logic...
//
if (isMemberOfGroup($REMOTE_USER, "admin")) {
header("location: admin.php");
} else {
header("location: regular.php");
}

That doesn't expand well to multiple groups. Here's an alternative:

function get_group_file($user_id) { ... }

$grpf = get_group_file($user);

header("Location: /group_$grpf.php");
