Hi,
I am trying to use sessions to register what type of user a person is but i carn't access the sessions on another page my code looks like this:
if ($name && $password)
{
$login = login($name, $password);
if($login == 'admin')
{
do_html_header("Admin User");
$SESSION['valid_user'] = $login;
}
else if($login == 'normal')
{
do_html_header("Normal User");
$SESSION['valid_user'] = $login;
}
else if($login == 'teacher')
{
do_html_header("Teacher User");
$_SESSION['valid_user'] = $login;
}
function check_normal_user($login)
{
global $normal_user;
if ($_SESSION['valid_user'] == 'normal')
return true;
else
return false;
}
function check_admin_user($login)
{
global $auth_user;
if ($_SESSION['valid_user'] == 'admin')
return true;
else
return false;
}
if(check_admin_user($login))
{
// if an administrator
$buttons[0] = 'add-room';
$buttons[1] = 'add-user';
$buttons[2] = 'add-equipment';
$buttons[3] = 'bar-student';
$buttons[4] = 'log-out';
display_toolbar($buttons);
}
and the toolbar won't display if i use session but i want to use sessions to link to other pages
