I found something that might help to solve the problem so i will post it and if anyone can help i will glad to read any suggestions.As i saw the problem is that the user details are being validated but the menu cannot be displayed.When the user enters the correct details it just appears a blank page.if the user enters wrong details it just display that "Your password is not correct. Please log on again!"So this is working what is no working is that when the user is being validated it doesn't display the menu.I think that the problem might be in the "password_input.php" page and specially with the "header()" function. The strange thing is that if i put the correct details and click submit the blank page will appear but if afterwards i add in the url the address
"http://www.domain.com/Staff/check_login.php" and manually redirect, it displays the correct menu.

thanks,

Although I wouldnt think of it as cause of the error, maybe try to insert a space between the colon and the URL and add an exit call.

PHP Code:

header("Location: http://www.domain.com/Staff/check_login.php");
exit; 


Finnaly , i manage to solve it by putting in the page password_input.php
include instead of header.I am also including the code, the orange code is what i changed:

PHP Code:


<?
   session_start();

   include "dbconnect.php";

   if(empty($_POST['uname'])||empty($_POST['passwd'])){
                  include("loginform.php");
;
   }

    $uname= $_POST['uname'];
    $query = "SELECT * FROM Webusers WHERE username='$uname'";
    $result = mysql_query($query);
    $row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
    $encrypted_password = md5($_POST['passwd']);

    if($encrypted_password!=$row['password']){
         echo "<h3>Your password is not correct. Please log on again!</h3>";
         include("loginform.php");
    }else{


         $_SESSION['username']=$uname;
         $_SESSION['isAdmin']=$row['admin']=='yes';

         //when i added the include function it worked
         include("check_login.php");
        // header("Location: http://www.domain.com/Staff/check_login.php");

    }

//Check the output of the variable $_SESSION
//var_dump($_SESSION);
?>

Sorry, what do you mean?

I mean are we allow to put comments for any answers that it helped to solve the problem?
In other forums you have to comment the answers of the users.

I am sorry again, but I still did not understand.

Which answer would you like to comment?

Even i thought that the problem was solved i have another problem related to the navigation menu.I would appreciate your help to solve this problem.

I am trying to put the code

PHP Code:

session_start();
if($_SESSION['username']){
        echo "Welcome ".$_SESSION['username']."!". "Logon time is: ".Date("m/d/Y");
                                  include($_SESSION['isAdmin']?'logoffheaderAdmin.php':'logoffheader.php'); 


in every page of the website in order to check if the user is administrator or a regular user.In two pages i manage to do it but for the rest it doesn't appear any menu regarding which user it is.
I will display an example of the code that i want the menu to appear:

PHP Code:

<?
include "../dbconnect.php";



//This is the new code i add to check if the user is admin or not
session_start();
if($_SESSION['username'])
{echo "Welcome ".$_SESSION['username']."!". "Logon time is: ".Date("m/d/Y");
 include($_SESSION['isAdmin']?'logoffheaderAdmin.php':'logoffheader.php');





/* This was what i had previous in order to display the menu for the regular user amd it was working
session_start();
if (session_is_registered('username')) {
echo "Welcome "."$username"."!"."  Logon time is : ".Date("m/d/Y");
require("../logoffheader.php");
*/




?>
<form action="search1.php" method="get" name="Searchform">
<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" bordercolor="#DCCA23" bgcolor="#DCCA23">
<tr bordercolor="#DCCA23" bgcolor="#DCCA23">
<td height="10%" colspan="2"><font size="4" face="Perpetua">
<h3><strong>Search Form </strong></h3>
</td>
</tr>
<tr bordercolor="#DCCA23" bgcolor="#DCCA23">
<td height="10%" colspan="2"> <size="2" face="Perpetua">
<h4>Search:
<input name="searchval" type="text" id="searchval" size="40">
<input type="submit" name="Search" value="Search">
</h4>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="advancesearch.php">Advanced Search</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?
}
else
{
header("Location:http://www.domain.com/Staff"); die();
};
?>

It is very annoying as i though i had solve it but i can't use this command.
So please anyone?

Thanks,
