[RESOLVED] User and Admin Logon

[adiwood]

Im trying to make it so that if admin log on, "hello admin" is displayed and if a normal user logs on "hello user" is displayed. I have a user database containing username, password and usertype.

Everything works fine with the login, however it isnt displaying the correct messages depending on user input. I want to get this bit working, before i create a redirect which will redirect users to the user page and admin to the admin page.

Is there a better way to do this?

if ($userRecord["Userid"] > 0) {
        $currentUser = $userRecord["Userid"];
        if (!$_POST['password'] == $CurrentUser["password"]) {
            $_SESSION["strValidUser"] = $_POST['username'];

        if ($CurrentUser["UserType"] == "administrator") {
        echo "hello admin";
        } else {
        echo "hello user";
        };

    } else {
        echo "<DIV class=\"ERROR\">Sorry, unable to login. Please check your user name and password.<BR></DIV> \n";
        $blnHitError = true;
    };
} else {
  echo "<DIV class=\"ERROR\">Sorry, unable to login. Please check your user name and password.<BR></DIV> \n";
  $blnHitError = true;
};

You have one of your variables written as $currentUser the first time but as $CurrentUser everywhere else. PHP variables are case-sensitive.

I solved it. All working now as shown below for reference:

if ($userRecord["Userid"] > 0) {
		$CurrentUser = $userRecord["Userid"];
		if (!$_POST['password'] = $userRecord["password"]) {
			if ($UserType == 'User') {
			$_SESSION["strUser"] = $_POST['username'];
			header( "Location: user.php" );
			} elseif ($UserType == 'Admin') {
			$_SESSION["strAdmin"] = $_POST['username'];
			 header( "Location: admin.php" );
			} elseif ($UserType == 'SuperAdmin') {
			$_SESSION["strSuperAdmin"] = $_POST['username'];
			 header( "Location: superadmin.php" );
			};

	} else {
		echo "<DIV class=\"ERROR\">Sorry, unable to login. Please check your user name and password.<BR></DIV> \n";
		$blnHitError = true;
	};
} else {
  echo "<DIV class=\"ERROR\">Sorry, unable to login. Please check your user name and password.<BR></DIV> \n";
  $blnHitError = true;
};
