by the way, where do I place my html code?

pradeep

Place the HTML preferably after the session PHP code.

ted_chou12

<?php
ob_start();
session_start(); ?>
**********
You mean here?
**********
<? require_once ("functions.php");

if (checkLoggedin())
echo "<H1>You are already logged in - <A href = \"login.php?do=logout\">logout</A></h1>";
else
echo "<H1>You are not logged in - <A href = \"login.php\">login</A></h1></h1>";
?>

pradeep

Yeah, right! But you may need to include or require your files before that, you can include your files, before the session code.

okay, ive solved that problem, now, if i want to store username and password in another txt file, what would i have to put in the main php page codes?
eg.

Code:

if(file('logindata.txt'))
return true;
else
return false;

so far, i tried file(), fileread(), file_ get_ contents(), include(), require()...etc.. and a bunch of them, but none works, can you give me a suggestion?

pradeep

It would be something like this

Code: PHP

<?
$username = $_SESSION['usr'];
$pwd = $_SESSION['pwd'];

$h = fopen("userdata.txt");
fwrite($h,"$username\n$pwd\n\n");
fclose($h);
?>

ted_chou12

where do i paste this in?
<?$username = $_SESSION['usr'];$pwd = $_SESSION['pwd'];$h = fopen("userdata.txt");fwrite($h,"$username\n$pwd\n \n");fclose($h);?>
and what do the "\n" stand for?

ted_chou12

oh no, sorry, i think i didn't say it clearly, what i wish is to extract the information of username and password FROM the text file, not store them into the txt files. Thanks for understanding.

\n stands for newline. Visit http://in2.php.net/types.string for more escape sequences.

Well then you have to store the data in text files, in a specific format say user:location:age OR user#ocation#age, so that the data retrieval becomes easy.
All you have to do is to read the text file line by line, and split it by the separator you have chosen (: or #) and then check the username part for a match. Bingo! you got your record.
