register and login with sessions

benrussell · 03-08-2007, 06:46 AM

In Php articles, under the intermediate tab, SDE created a "login with sessions" page. I used it. It seems to work.
..BUT.. I need a register page now. Is there one hidden on here somewhere that I'm just not finding? Or is anyone able to supply one that fits with SDE's "Login with Sessions".

Thank-you very much!!!

The Login against two tables discusses it partly.. But it might not be a final made solution for you, altho it does give some input to how it can be done from post 18

Another thread which would be a good read, is the md5-hash password, it discusses the use of salt and md5 to hide password infos.

Let's turn this around. Perhaps you can help me with the real problem, because I'm not sure that a register/login is needed.

I have a PHP upload handler that works perfectly. It currently uploads files to...
$target_file_path = "c:\Server\upload\ " . $file_name;

I would really like it to upload files to...

$target_file_path = "c:\Server\upload\username\ " . $file_name;
or even
$target_file_path = "c:\Server\upload\username\event\ " . $file_name;

Is it possible to add some kind of pre-form to direct uploads before they take place without making someone register or login?

If you dont want the uploader to login, then you can just create a few select boxes, which consist of the available directories, say one holding:

Code:

...
<select name="user">
<option value="John">John</option>
<option value="Karen">Karen</option>
<option value="Brian">Brian</option>
</select>
...
<select name="event">
<option value="Party">Party</option>
<option value="Relaxation">Relaxation</option>
<option value="Misc">Misc</option>
...

Then in your upload script you'd make it

PHP Code:


			
$target_file_path = "c:\\Server\\upload\\" . $_POST['user'] . "\\" . $_POST['event'] . "\\" . $file_name;

Unfortunately, it doesnt seem to be that simple. I use a java application called Jumploader to upload the files.

Here is my index page (which gives parameters for the java applet):

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Christian County Video</title>
<meta name="generator" content="tsWebEditor (tswebeditor.net.tc - www.tswebeditor.tk)" />

			<param name="gc_loggingLevel" value="DEBUG"/>

			<param name="uc_uploadUrl" value="/Jumploader/uploadHandler.php"/>

			<param name="ac_fireUploaderStatusChanged" value="false"/>
</applet>


<?php

?>
</body>
</html>

And here is my upload handler.php file:

Code:

<?php
	//----------------------------------------------
	//	upload file handler script
	//----------------------------------------------

	//
	//	specify file parameter name
	$file_param_name = 'file';

	//
	//	retrieve uploaded file name
	$file_name = $_FILES[ $file_param_name ][ 'name' ];

	//
	//	retrieve uploaded file path (temporary stored by php engine)
	$source_file_path = $_FILES[ $file_param_name ][ 'tmp_name' ];

	//
	//	construct target file path (desired location of uploaded file) -
	//	here we put to the web server document root (i.e. '/home/wwwroot')
	//	using user supplied file name
	$target_file_path = "c:\upload\ " . $file_name;

	//
	//	move uploaded file
	echo "Moving file " . $source_file_path . " > " . $target_file_path . ": ";
	if( move_uploaded_file( $source_file_path, $target_file_path ) ) {
		echo "success";
	} else{
		echo "failure";
	}

	//
	//	below is trace of variables
?>
<html>
<body>
	<h1>GET content</h1>
	<pre><?print_r( $_GET );?></pre>
	<h1>POST content</h1>
	<pre><?print_r( $_POST );?></pre>
	<h1>FILES content</h1>
	<pre><?print_r( $_FILES );?></pre>
</body>

I've researched some to find a potential formula through sessions. I can upload files to a user directory (I think) by changing the upoad path in the uploadhandler to :

Code:

$target_file_path = "c:\upload\ " . $_SESSION['usuario'] . "/" . $file_name ;

And then putting the following in the login.php page:

Code:

session_start(); 
$_SESSION['usuario'] = $loginUsername;

But hen how do I post a blank username in the login.php?

Why use some javaapplet, when you have PHP ??
You can accomplish upload aswell through PHP, read the PHP photo gallery as a brain teaser to get an idear, at some point we might have to turn that into an article..
As a further introduction to handling images through PHP, you can read the Upload View Images thread.

But I don't know php that well, and I have this free easy to use java applet that works so well!!!!

I do have a php page that does a multiple file upload. But I'm limited to browsing for one file at a time. The java applet will upload whole folders of files at a time. During one successful test I uploaded .4 gig of information. It's been pretty cool!
