After I login the user, I want to have a separate html page (a front page) that says "welcome, (user)." I tried to use cookies and I now know this wont work. So how would i go about doing this?
Here is my code (in my sigin script):
header('Location: frontpage.html');
In frontpage.html, I want to use some of the data from the sigin script.
分享 This is controlled by the $_SESSION array. When your user logs in, you should set some $_SESSION variables to whatever values you want (say, one variable which will let you know the user is logged in, another with their user name, another with their permissions, etc.).
Then just echo the $_SESSION variable with the relevant user name to the user:
echo 'Welcome, ' . $_SESSION['username'] . '.';
The PHP manual has extensive information on sessions: http://il2.php.net/manual/en/intro.session.php
