Redirecting after login code

[MoKinG]

Hi All,

I am very new to PHP and I need some help if you could.

I have a login script that works well. It calls a php page called xyz.php once the user logs in sucessfully.

Based on the $username I would like the person directed to a certain page.

Here's the script I wrote to put at the top of the xyz.php page but it does not work, please help me.

<?php
if ($username = "Green"){
header ("Location: gr.php");
}
elsif($username = "Sud"){
header ("Location: sud.php");
}
?>

I get this error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /var/www/html/client/xyz.php on line 5

<?php 
if ($username = "Green")
{ 
  header ("Location: gr.php"); 
  exit;
} 
elseif ($username = "Sud")
{ 
  header ("Location: sud.php"); 
  exit;
} 
?>

if you have loads of pages etc... you could tidy it up a little bit using switch statement;

such as;

<?php
  switch($username)
  {
    case "Green":
      header("Location: gr.php");
      exit;
    break;

case "Sud":
  header("Location: sud.php");
  exit;
break; 
  } 
?>

hi,

here is your code:
<?php
if ($username = "Green"){
header ("Location: gr.php");
}
elsif($username = "Sud"){
header ("Location: sud.php");
}
?>

you forgot that you must use '==' in order to compare values =)
