I am experiencing issues with $_SESSION, I'll paste the code and explain.
I have a index which includes
<div class="confidential__field text-align-center">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><label for="email">Email</label></td>
<td><input type="text" id="email" name="email"></input></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="pwd">password</label></td>
<td><input type="password" id="pwd" name="pwd"></input></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="?action=register">Don't have an account ?</a></td>
<td><button form="form" id="login">Send</button></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
index.php we have this(shortened version, and yes, I have session_start() at the begining of the index.php):
<?php
session_start();
include("_include/_stuff/config.php");?>
<!doctype html>
<html>
<?php include("_general/head.php");?>
<body>
<?php
include("_include/login.php");
if(isset($_SESSION['ID']) && !empty($_SESSION['ID']))include("_include/header.php");
?>
</body>
</html>
and then the script:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#login").click(function(){
$.post("_ajax/clientMain.php",{
login: 1,
email: $("input#email").val(),
pwd: $("input#pwd").val()
},
function(data){
if(data==1){
//alert(data);
// alert("SESSION SET");
location="index.php";
}else{
alert(data);
}
}
)
});
});
and then the actual php to check:
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['login']) && !empty($_POST['login'])){
$conn = db_connect();
$email = db_quote($_POST['email']);
$pwd = db_quote($_POST['pwd']);
$query_attendance = mysqli_query($conn, "select * from user where email=$email and password=$pwd");
if(mysqli_num_rows($query_attendance) > 0){
$credentials = mysqli_fetch_array($query_attendance, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
if(!empty($credentials)){
$_SESSSION['ID'] = $credentials['userID'];
echo 1;
}else{
echo 82;
}
}else{
echo 45;
}
}else{
echo 111;
}
I am running on XAMPP(localhost) on windows 10.
NOTE: I am not encoding password because I am just doing basic testing in which I am hardly failling!
EDIT: After attrbuiting the ID to the session, the session is not saved to the index.php, because if I do a var_dump($_SESSION) or echo $_SESSION["ID"] I recieve nothing, but if I respond with data in the login script and instead for echo 1
I would have echo $_SESSION["ID"]
then I get the session/id, but It is not being transfered somehow to the index.php page!
You have a typo, check if it's only here in your question's code or in your actual code as well:
$_SESSSION['ID'] = $credentials['userID'];
Should be:
$_SESSION['ID'] = $credentials['userID'];
You have an extra S
