Sessions

Anon

Hey, i´m using a login script on my site and it work fine, but when some one is trying to acess the page without login so does it give me a strange error message, this is the script:

<?
session_start();
if($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["loginSession"] == "login" || ($pass == $password && $user == $username)){

echo "Jaaa";

} else
{

header("location: index.php");

}

and here can you check at the error message : http://php.brimba.org/login/menu.php

Warning: Undefined index: loginSession in E:\wwwroot\user\php\login\menu.php on line 3

Warning: Undefined variable: pass in E:\wwwroot\user\php\login\menu.php on line 3

This that you entire script or do you have more to it.. I duplicated what you have on my end and not getting any errors...

You do have sessions settings correctly installed in your php.ini to reflect what you are achieving..

Hi, how do i se if i have it right installed then?

Anon

where are you putting your session variables into a database, server-side or client-side with a cookie..

currently I have my php.ini settings server-side where it stores the session on my server within a temp session directory. when I ran you script as you post I get Jaaa without the errors, if remove the directory where my sessions are to be stored I mimic your error.. I don't know if that is your solution but it is a beginning..

I just looking up your session setting under php.ini I might be way off, seeing I perfer to use my own session management script..

But here are the settings I have turnon and was able to get your script to function:

[Session]
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = /sessions

make sure that the path you have is available or you are not going to be able to generate a session..

session.use_cookies = 1
session.name = Session
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.serialize_handler = php
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.referer_check =
session.entropy_length = 0
session.entropy_file =
;session.entropy_length = 16
;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 1

You are registering the username and password into your session from a previous page? You don't have entire script here so I had to generate the login page myself where I registered the variables into the session then forward to the following page with your script...
