Control different users

plasmahba

Hello there

Is there a way to make a login page that depending on the "range of user", the validate code automatically redirect you to different pages?

If you are admin you go to admin.php for example
If you are user it takes you to welcome.php

I created in my db a column with ranges but now I don´t know how to do it. If I declare the condition in my validate page or in the session page?
For example

$range = " SELECT range from users where range =1"

and then I don´t know what is next.....

Any help is fully appreciated

what is the data structure of the "range"? is it just a list of intergers? you could pull the range into an array and then use in_array() to see if the current user is in that range and redirect as needed.

i assume that u want to post the form to different pages depending on whether a normal user logs in or an admin logs in.
so ....the following code is in the login.php

if (sizeof($_POST))
{
	$conn=mysql_connect();
	$db=mysql_select_db("test") ;

$query=mysql_query("select Range,UserName,Password from Authenticate where User_Name='" . $_POST['username'] . "'");
$rows=mysql_fetch_array($query);

           // make check for valid user
           // if a valid user then the following if is executed

if ($rows['Range'] == "Admin")
	header("location : http : // localhost/php/admin.php");
else
	header("location: http: //localhost/php/welcome.php");

}

please note that this piece of code has to be right on top of the page even before the <html> or else header wudnt work.

just out of curiosity...
$range = " SELECT range from users where range =1"
cudnt u have just done $range=1 ??? or is it some thing i'm totally ignorant abt?
