Sorry, but I'm not understanding what is necessary to set up the DB for this program. I'm following the readme.html instructions, but it's not at all clear as to what has to be set up via MySQL to get this Cookie protection script to work. Do I need to set up tables that your script is expecting?

Here's where I am WITHOUT a database set up... (Note that I am using "username"as the substitute for the REAL username.)

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'username_distrib@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home2/username/public_html/distributors/settings.php on line 72

Warning: mysql_select_db(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home2/username/public_html/distributors/settings.php on line 73

Step 3 of 4
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_create_db() in /home2/username/public_html/distributors/codelock.php(3) : eval()'d code(1) : eval()'d code on line 56


Here's where I am WITH a database set up....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_create_db() in /home2/username/public_html/distributors/codelock.php(3) : eval()'d code(1) : eval()'d code on line 56


Does this script create a database or not? I think not. This needs to be clarified. Please advise what is required.

Thanks for your assistance.

Got the script installed... Forget the database issue.

Now...... (and this also happened when I viewed the demo on the Xavier.com site).... After I login to admin, no matter which link I click, I get kicked back to the login screen. Have I missed something?

Make sure you set these two variables to the correct values:

In the above code you should replace sampleaddress.com with your domain name.

Login issue solved. Domain hadn't propogated (hides self in corner).

One more issue... I assumed that this script would allow me to direct users to a specific page (URL) based on each username/pw. Is there a mod you currently offer (or can offer) that will allow this? Each user on the site I am building needs to login to a page customized for that specific user.

Thanks very much.

There are no MOD for this since it's just a few simple lines of code you need:

It's similar to this topic:

Oh, maybe I should say this too:
You add this code at one page like personal.php or members.php and then all users login at the same page. That way all users will see diffrent information, but they all have to login at the same page.

You can if you like (and I recommend it strongly) put all your member specific pages in a hidden directory like /someplacehidden11838393/ and never tell people about this hidden directory. The code will then look something like this:

Almost there... Put the code above at the top of members.php page then tried logging in as a user from the members.php page. However, upon logging in with a valid username and password, I get:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare fileprotect() (previously declared in /home2/accountname/public_html/distributors/codelock.php(3) : eval()'d code(1) : eval()'d code:145) in /home2/accountname/public_html/distributors/codelock.php(3) : eval()'d code(1) : eval()'d code on line 145

Do you have the protection code twice in that file?

No,

In members.php, this is what the top of the code looks like:

<? include("protection.php"); ?>
<? include("settings.php"); ?>
<?
if (file_exists("$loginname.php"))
include("$loginname.php");
else if (file_exists("$loginuser.php"))
include("$loginuser.php");
else
echo "No user file found! - $loginuser";
?>


The user is set up as username "test" and the test protected page I created is "test.php". On this test page ( test.php) that I'm supposed to go to after successful login, this code is on the first line:

<? include("protection.php"); ?>

You shouldn't have in both files. Only add <? include("protection.php"); ?> in the first file, not in test.php.

Instead move test.php to some hidden directory as I suggested above.

settings.php is already included in protection.php so you can remove that line from members.php:

Okay. That's working. Now... How can I modify this code to work as follows?

Everyone logs in at members.php page...

"user1" accesses his "user1.php" private page after login.
"user2" accesses his "user2.php" private page after login.

Both "user1" and "user2" can access a "group.php" page... which is shared by all users. (So far, so good. I've got all the above working.)

Now.... How do I prevent "user1" from accessing the "user2" page (user2.php) and other users from accessing each other's pages. Tried adding various groups and adding the generated group code to the single page (members.php) but again, it's dependent on the user's login. I need to force a login if users try to access another user's pages.

Thanks for your help.

wow interesting way of putting it.
