php, iframes and loading a page

poeta_boy · 03-14-2005, 01:54 AM

Hello Mina San:

I'm bulding an small site based on php and I have a page Login.php, which in turn has an iframe coming from loginForm.php....

I've managed to get the login info, and check whether or not the user is registered, with something like this:

Code:

<?php

      include("connect.php");

	$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE userName = '" . $user ."' AND 
password = '" . $password . "'";
	$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);

	if($myRow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
	{
			session_register("$user");
	}
	else
	{
		echo "User not registered";
	}
?>

Where connect.php is the database connection.......... the thing is that once the user has been validated, I'd like to load welcome.php in the whole page, not just the iframe where the validation has been done.

Is there a way to do that? I tried something like :

Code:

	if($myRow = mysql_fetch_array($result))
	{
			session_register("$user");
			echo "<script language=JavaScript1.1> 
parent.load(/registro.php); </script>";
	}

But the parent.load won't work

any ideas?

thanks

Did you put a session_start(); at the top of your php code
In the main page, not in frames, session has to be started
before any output to browser

thanks a lot, but the thing is that I'd like to load a whole new page, being triggered by an even in the iframe..... is that possible?

thanks

I don't know your complete code, but try :

PHP Code:



if(($myRow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) !== FALSE) {

    session_register("user");

    $_SESSION["user"] = $user;

   echo "<script language=\"JavaScript1.1\"> parent.location.replace(\"/registro.php\"); </script>";

}
