get authlib to protect other dirs?

[ziah75]

I'm using authlib 1.94 and it does not work like i wan't it too.

I wan't to use this file structure (if possible) but there seems to be some problem with this?

./file_to_protect.php

authlib files goes here
./autlib_provider/1_02/

if I browse to
./autlib_provider/1_02/login.html
i can login and everything works just fine.

for example ./autlib_provider/1_02/edit.php works, and there this code is used for authentication:

require("backend.php");

$login_check = $mjb_authlib_provider->is_logged();

if (!$login_check) {

include("html/nologin.html");
exit;

}

BUT if i browse to ./file_to_protect.php
(which uses just about the same authentication code) I always get the message: Error : You need to login to request this page.

require("authlib_provider/1_02/backend.php");
//require("backend.php");

$login_check = $mjb_authlib_provider->is_logged();
$provider_id = $login_check[1];
echo $provider_id;

echo "login_check: ", $login_check, "<br>";

if (!$login_check) {

include("authlib_provider/1_02/html/nologin.html");
//include("html/nologin.html");
exit;

}

It seems ./file_to_protect.php only works like I want when it is located in the same folder as backend.php
But I don't want to put it there...

If you need more info, please let me know.

PS You have probably noticed I've changed the authlib table-names. But this seems to work ok. =) DS

Sometimes you have to be your own saviour! 😉

After some research it appears cookie's are only valid for current dir (where authlib resides in this case), unless you specify otherwise in the setcookie-command, the optional parameter path. (This was not set in authlib).

I modified authlib like this.

For login (set cookie, files: backend.php):
setcookie("hello", "$username:$hash:$provider_id", time()+3600, "/");

For logout (delete cookie contents, files: backend.php, delete.php):
setcookie("hello", "", time() - 3600, "/");

It was important to modify logout also, otherwise the cookie was still present!

Hope this helps someone else, also. =)
