Page Control

[OldManRiver]

All,

Trying to read through all the manuals to determine how control is returned to the calling page for the following scenario:

<form method=post action=myproc.php>

without using the

header(Location:mypage.php)

in the myproc.php file.

Not finding anything! Anybody help please!

i don't understand your question. you have a page with a form and you want it to submit back to itself? if so then simply use the same filename in the form's action tag.

What I have is:

First Pass:

           $display_block = "<form action='../scripts/login.php' method='POST'><p><strong>User Login:</strong><br>
             				 <INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='username'></p><p><strong>Password:</strong><br>
             				 <INPUT TYPE='password' NAME='password'></p><p>&nbsp;<br>
            				 <input type=image src='../Images/btn-pale(log).jpg' name=log value=log width=120>
	            			 </form>";

Second Pass with Success:

              $display_block = "<font size=-1><b>Welcome $f_name $l_name.
                                <br>Thank you for logging in!</b></font>";

Second Pass with Failure:

           $display_block = "<font size=-1><b>Login not successful!</b></font>";

The $display_block sets on first pass, but does not set on second. When I use header it sees the runs as first pass and resets everything, so can not get the transfer.

Should be simple, but it isn't.

the basic idea (with some psudocode)

<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	$display_block = '
	<form action="" method="POST">
	<p><strong>User Login:</strong><br><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username"></p>
	<p><strong>Password:</strong><br><INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="password"></p>
	<p>&nbsp;<br><input type="image" src="../Images/btn-pale(log).jpg" name="log" value="log" width="120">
	<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="submit">
	</form>
	';
}
else
{

if (login is successful)
{
	$display_block = '<font size="-1"><b>Welcome ' . $f_name . ' ' . $l_name . '<br>Thank you for logging in!</b></font>';
}
else
{
	$display_block = '<font size="-1"><b>Login not successful!</b></font>';
}
}

echo $display_block;
?>

Devinemke,

Complete code follows:

<?php
  	// check for required fields from the form
  	if (isset($_POST['log'])) {
	   	//connection to server and select database
		require ('../scripts/db_connect.php');
        // create and issue the query
      	$sql = "select usr_id, usr_name, usr_pwd from log_user where usr_name =
	  	       '$_POST[username]' AND usr_pwd = '$_POST[password]'";
  		$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
  		if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
              $f_uid = mysql_result($result, 0, 'usr_id');
      	      $sql = "select inf_id from user_idx where usr_id=$f_uid";
  		      $residx = mysql_query($sql,$conn)	or die(mysql_error());
              if (mysql_num_rows($residx) == 1) {
                 $f_inf = mysql_result($residx, 0, 'inf_id');
      	         $sql = "select inf_fnam, inf_lnam from user_info where inf_id=$f_inf";
  		         $resinf = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
              }
              // if authorized, get the value of f_name l_name
              $f_name = mysql_result($resinf, 0, 'inf_fnam');
              $l_name = mysql_result($resinf, 0, 'inf_lnam');
              // set authorization cookie
              setcookie("auth", "1", 0, "/", "localhost @mydomain.com", 0);
              //create display string
              $display_block = "<font size=-1><b>Welcome $f_name $l_name.
                                <br>Thank you for logging in!</b></font>";
echo $display_block;
		} else {           

           $display_block = "<font size=-1><b>Login not successful!</b></font>";
//           return;
//           exit;
		}
   	} else {
           $display_block = "<form action='../scripts/login.php' method='POST'><p><strong>User Login:</strong><br>
             				 <INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='username'></p><p><strong>Password:</strong><br>
             				 <INPUT TYPE='password' NAME='password'></p><p>&nbsp;<br>
            				 <input type=image src='../Images/btn-pale(log).jpg' name=log value=log width=120>
	            			 </form>";
	}
?>

SQL code is working fine, but can't return the $display_block to the calling form!
