The session is not getting created and keep getting redirected to login.php. Really don't understand why! I really need help :(
Here is my Session class:
class Session {
private $logged_in=false;
public $user_id;
function __construct() {
session_start();
$this->check_login();
if($this->logged_in) {
// actions to take right away if user is logged in
} else {
// actions to take right away if user is not logged in
}
}
public function is_logged_in() {
return $this->logged_in;
}
public function login($user) {
if($user){
$this->user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'] = $user->id;
$this->logged_in = true;
}
}
public function logout() {
unset($_SESSION['user_id']);
unset($this->user_id);
$this->logged_in = false;
}
private function check_login() {
if(isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) {
$this->user_id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$this->logged_in = true;
} else {
unset($this->user_id);
$this->logged_in = false;
}
}
}
$session = new Session();
?>
Here is a part of my Login page:
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // Form has been submitted.
$user_name = trim($_POST['user_name']);
$password = trim($_POST['password']);
// Check database to see if username/password exist.
$found_user = User::authenticate($user_name, $password);
if ($found_user) {
$session->login($found_user);
redirect_to("index.php");
} else {
// username/password combo was not found in the database
$message = "Username/password combination incorrect.";
}
} else { // Form has not been submitted.
$user_name = "";
$password = "";
}
And here is a part of the index.php:
if (!$session->is_logged_in()) { redirect_to("login.php");
What I have tried:
I tried putting a session_start(); at the start no luck. Looked for errors in all the code used in these pages.
