Help! I was using Jpmaster77's login script, but needed to change it because I needed a lot more information from users and stuff... Suddenly, I encountered this problem: Usually, after the person hits "Login", the script passes the information to process.php, which runs session.php. The session.php sets cookies. Then it calls database.php, and pulls up the user info. But now, instead of going to the "logged in" page, the script cycles back to the login form. However, the system DOES registered that I have logged in -- when I ran the "who's online" script, the account I just logged in for shows up. I am suspecting that the script is somehow stuck (ie. encountered an error, or can't write to database or something) at the session.php part, but i'm not sure..... I want to check, but Xdebug doesn't work for me for some strange reason =_= So here is my code: Login form: <pre><code><form action="process.php" method="POST" id="user_main"> Username: <input type="text" name="user" maxlength="30" value="<? echo $form->value("user"); ?>"> <? echo $form->error("user"); ?> Password: <input type="password" name="pass" maxlength="30" value="<? echo $form->value("pass"); ?>"><? echo $form->error("pass"); ?> <input type="checkbox" name="remember" <? if($form->value("remember") != ""){ echo "checked"; } ?> /> Remember me next time <input type="hidden" name="sublogin" value="1"> <input type="submit" value="Login"> [<a href="forgotpass.php">Forgot Password?</a>] | Not registered? <a href="register.php">Sign-Up!</a> </form> </code></pre> Process.php (first check which form it was sent from through the hidden value from the file above) <pre><code>function Process(){ global $session; /* User submitted login form */ if(isset($_POST['sublogin'])){ $this->procLogin(); } </code></pre> and procLogin says: <pre><code>function procLogin(){ global $session, $form; /* Login attempt */ $retval = $session->login($_POST['user'], $_POST['pass'], isset($_POST['remember'])); /* Login successful */ if($retval){ header("Location: ".$session->referrer); } /* Login failed */ else{ $_SESSION['value_array'] = $_POST; $_SESSION['error_array'] = $form->getErrorArray(); header("Location: ".$session->referrer); } } </code></pre> Session login() says: <pre><code>function login($subuser, $subpass, $subremember){ global $database, $form; //The database and form object /* Username error checking */ $field = "user"; //Use field name for username if(!$subuser || strlen($subuser = trim($subuser)) == 0){ $form->setError($field, "* Username not entered"); } else{ /* Check if username is not alphanumeric */ if(!ctype_alnum($subuser)){ $form->setError($field, "* Username not alphanumeric"); } } /* Password error checking */ $field = "pass"; //Use field name for password if(!$subpass){ $form->setError($field, "* Password not entered"); } /* Return if form errors exist */ if($form->num_errors > 0){ return false; } /* Checks that username is in database and password is correct */ $subuser = stripslashes($subuser); $result = $database->confirmUserPass($subuser, md5($subpass)); /* Check error codes */ if($result == 1){ $field = "user"; $form->setError($field, "* Username not found"); } else if($result == 2){ $field = "pass"; $form->setError($field, "* Invalid password"); } /* Return if form errors exist */ if($form->num_errors > 0){ return false; } /* Username and password correct, register session variables */ $this->userinfo = $database->getUserInfo($subuser); $this->username = $_SESSION['username'] = $this->userinfo['username']; $this->userid = $_SESSION['userid'] = $this->generateRandID(); $this->userlevel = $this->userinfo['userlevel']; /* Insert userid into database and update active users table */ $database->updateUserField($this->username, "userid", $this->userid); $database->addActiveUser($this->username, $this->time); $database->removeActiveGuest($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); /** * This is the cool part: the user has requested that we remember that * he's logged in, so we set two cookies.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
