I'm coding a new site allowing users to post candidatures ! First, They need to connect in order to access at candidature page. My problem is that if connection input are incorrect, I redirect the user to the connection page with an error message, however my message is not displaying :/ I based myself on this subject but unsuccessfully :/ Furthermore, I don't want to pass by the url to show the message
displaying a message after redirecting the user to another web page
checkForm.php
<?php
require('../config/config.php');
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
if(isset($_POST['identity']) && isset($_POST['password']))
{
$username = $_POST['identity'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$stmt = $cnx->prepare("SELECT * from users WHERE nameUser = '".$username."' AND passwordUser = '".sha1($password)."'");
$stmt->execute();
$users = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
var_dump($users);
$result = $stmt->rowCount();
if($result > 0)
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['user'] = $_POST['identity'];
$_SESSION['email'] = $users['emailUser'];
$_SESSION['start'] = time();
$_SESSION['expire'] = $_SESSION['start'] + (120 * 60);
$_SESSION['pwd'] = $_POST['password'];
$_SESSION['id'] = $users['userId'];
header('Location: ../index.php');
}
