redirect after succesful registration.php???

Hello Olaf,

As I am a newby this must be a laughable to you. I am applying your class and everything works great!

But after the registration.php page I want to redirect to a new page. Ofcourse I know that the form in registration.php posts to itself validate the form and process the registration. So I can't put a url in action="http://" (is now action=$_POST['PHP_SELF']). So I put in a If statement to redirect to an other page if the registration was successfull by using header("Location: ").

Now I think I found that header( ) doesn't work together with $_POST? Is this true and is there an other way to redirect after succesful registration? - scooter

Hello,

The problem is only that you can't output data from a page and redirect together but you can create a "registration success" page within the register.php

Code:

<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/classes/access_user/access_user_class.php"); 

class myRegister extends Access_user {


function register_user($first_login, $first_password, $confirm_password, $first_name, $first_info, $first_email) {
if ($this->check_new_password($first_password, $confirm_password)) {
if (strlen($first_login) >= LOGIN_LENGTH) {
if ($this->check_email($first_email)) {
$this->user_email = $first_email;
$this->user = $first_login;
if ($this->check_user("new")) {
$this->the_msg = $this->messages(12);
return false;
} else {
$sql = sprintf("INSERT INTO %s (id, login, pw, real_name, extra_info, email, access_level, active) VALUES (NULL, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %d, 'n')", 
$this->table_name,
$this->ins_string($first_login),
$this->ins_string(md5($first_password)),
$this->ins_string($first_name),
$this->ins_string($first_info),
$this->ins_string($this->user_email),
DEFAULT_ACCESS_LEVEL);
$ins_res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
if ($ins_res) {
$this->id = mysql_insert_id();
$this->user_pw = $first_password;
if (!$this->auto_activation) {
$subject = 39;
$body = 40;
} else {
$subject = 28;
$body = 29;
}
if ($this->send_mail($this->user_email, $body, $subject)) {
$this->the_msg = $this->messages(13);
return true;
} else {
mysql_query(sprintf("DELETE FROM %s WHERE id = %s", $this->table_name, $this->id));
$this->the_msg = $this->messages(14);
return false;
}
} else {
$this->the_msg = $this->messages(15);
return false;
}
}
} else {
$this->the_msg = $this->messages(16);
return false;
}
} else {
$this->the_msg = $this->messages(17);
return false;
}
}
}
}

$new_member = new myRegister;

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) { 
if ($new_member->register_user($_POST['login'], $_POST['password'], $_POST['confirm'], $_POST['name'], $_POST['info'], $_POST['email'])) {
header("Location: register_success.php");
}
} 
$error = $new_member->the_msg; // error message
?>
<!-- your other html code -->

?... Ok, I get that. I'm going to try this out in the morning. Thanks a million for clearing this out so fast Olaf. See ye later.

It didn't work? It ended up at: color=Red]echo "redirect wordt gestart <br>";[/color]
     header("Location: http://www.office-specialist.nl/rocfriese/register_success.php");

but the redirect somehow doesn't start ?

See my code (is your code above):   - scooter

its not allowed to output data before sending a header you did this twice...

I debug this kind of things without sending a header and only if everthing is working I send the header.

Thanks Olaf. It took a few days, but I got it all nipped now. No output before header(). This was a good lesson on an interesting subject!!!

Step 1: I have an input form on page 1 (asks for only an e-mail address). I use this e-mail address to lookup  the username, password and redirect to page 2.
<form name="form1" method="post" action=<?PHP echo "/page_1/"; ?>>
<label for="login">E-mail:</label>
<input type="text" name="login" size="30" value="<?php echo (isset($_POST['login'])) ? $_POST['login'] : $my_access->user; ?>">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login">
</form>
Step 2: On page 2 the user needs only to click on a second Submit-button (see below) with two hidden form-fields. These hidden fields already contain the username, password (from Step 1) so the user can automatically login to the external web-application (for example http://url.web-application.net).
<form name="form1" method="post" action="http://url.web-application.net"
<input type="hidden" name="login" size="30" value="<?php echo (isset($_POST['login'])) ? $_POST['login'] : $my_access->user; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="password" size="8" value="<?php echo (isset($_POST['password'])) ? $_POST['password'] : $my_access->user_pw; ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Begin web-application" >
</form>

Above procedure is a way to automatically login to an external web-application, with only your e-mail address and it works fine.

My question is how can I let the user: enter an e-mail address(1), lookup the username password in a database(2) and send them to the external web-application where to user is logged-in automatiacally(3) all on one page. I tried it with methodes like:
$_POST['login'] = $login;
$_POST['password'] = $password;
heaser("location: ")

But I had no luck yet. Hope you have an idea?

I think that can be done cURL, but I'm sure that this more difficult than what you have done until now.
btw. posting the login and password to a form is very unsafe...

I had the same problem before some time.

cURL will be difficult as implementation, and it may have some security risks - it can be buggy with this implementation.

SOAP is the best way to do that if you want a server implementation, but it will need a lot of development time.

The best and easiest way to do that, is to create a form for the user and automatically submit it with javascipt to the other site
