Hello,

I  use $_SESSION['user'] and also $user = $test_page_protect->user;  to read the username.
This is working as long as I do this in a protected site.

Now I want to read the user name on an unprotected page. I tried both but I was not successful.
Actually I was not able to use the $test_page_protect->user function without getting Errors.

I was expecting:  If the user is logged in, the username will be returned, if he is logged out, <blank> will be returned.

Can someone help me ? I just want to know which user is logged in when he is accessing an unprotected page.

Thank you,
Philipp

Hello,

I just made a test:
I logged in as a user, accessed a protected page and with $_SESSION['user'] I got the username. Perfect. But when I now access
an unprotected page, $_SESSION['user'] returns <blank> even though the user is still logged on...

no, in the same window.  (p.s. I also tested it with Firefox and Netscape with the same result).

oooh I forgot, since your not using the class there is no session started

just inlude the class or place a session_start at the start of the page.

By the way you can access the methods of the class without protecting a page, its just a feature...
