PHP on HTML pages

Hi all,

I have completed my whole site in HTML.

I have my login page in php.

Some one suggested me that there there can be a small code which can be added in all the pages, and after changing the extn to php, I can use sessions in all of the site.

Can this be possible?

If yes, can someone provide me that code?
I dont want to make many changes in the site now.

thanks

Just add...

PHP Code:

---

<?php
session_start();
?> 


---

to the top of all your pages. When they login you can add their username to the $_SESSION array.

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
?> 


---

Then everywhere you want to print their username just do this...

PHP Code:

---

<?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?> 


---

and when you want to log them out you can do this...

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$_SESSION = array();
session_destroy();
?> 


---

Keep in mind this does nothing for input validation. You want to make sure you do not fall victim to XSS or SQL injection if you end up using a database. There is a tutorial around by chsh for input validation and another by catch on shoestring sql stuff I think. Do a search here so you can try and avoid such things. Hope this helps.

thanks

Hi,

I am able to start the sessions but unable to destroy them.

I have created a logout.php file in which I have written the following code.
<?php
@session_unset();
$_SESSION = array();
@session_destroy();
?>
and in all other php files i have written the code to start the session.

Please help.

Is it giving you an error or are you just still logged in?
