Re: [phplib] login page help From: Cresta Johnson (cjohnson <email protected>)

Hi!
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who is helping me out - I appreciate
all your input.

Giancarlo,
I followed your steps from 3-5. I skipped 1-2 (because you said it might be
optional & it seemed to do wacky things when I set the $nobody=true). But I
changed the code slightly & put the code on a separate php page so that I
could use the page_open feature without invoking the login page on my index
page. Now, it doesn't seem to work, because it invokes the login screen
(from the php script page), but it has entered the info into the
active_sessions & when I refresh (from the script page) or try to enter the
protected page it allows me to enter without logging in.

So I think I'm missing something.

TIA

Cresta
