My first real foray into using PHP OOP and PDO extensively. I have finally gotten the script to work, but as you notice in order to do it I had to move the PDO connect into the login function - originally it was just in the __construct()
. I do not want to have to open a new PDO connect and this is sloppy. How can I maintain the same connection throughout the whole class?
<?php
class user{
public $id;
public $name;
public $email;
private $password;
public function __construct() {
$DBH = new PDO("mysql:host=HOST;dbname=DB", "USER", "PASS");
$DBH->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
public function login($email,$password,$type){
$DBH = new PDO("mysql:host=HOST;dbname=DB", "USER", "PASS");
$DBH->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$password_hash = sha1($password);
try{
if ($type != "actives") {
throw new Exception("Type Handling Error");
}
$STH = $DBH->query("SELECT id, email, password FROM $type WHERE email='$email' AND password='$password_hash'");
$STH->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$row_count = $STH->rowCount();
$row = $STH->fetch();
if($row_count == 1){
session_start();
session_regenerate_id();
$_SESSION['id'] == $row[id];
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}
catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
}
public function loggout(){
session_destroy();
setcookie(session_name(), session_id(), 1, '/');
}
