I need to pass a variable from login.php to index.php in order to get an error message if the user doesn't enter username or password. I have a modal form which pass $_POST['usename'] and $_POST['password'] to login.php.
login.php
require_once(realpath(__DIR__ . "/resources/session.php"));
if(!$logged) {
if(isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password'])) {
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['username']);
$password = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['password']);
if(strlen($_POST['username']) == 0 || strlen($_POST['password']) == 0) {
$_SESSION['noty'] = "error||topCenter||(here the message)";
header("Location: index.php");
} else {
// Code...
}
}
} else {
// Code ...
}
$_SESSION['noty'] is the variable that I should pass to index.php.
index.php
$page_id = 1;
require_once(realpath(__DIR__ . "/resources/session.php"));
require_once(TEMPLATE_PATH . "/header.php");
require_once(TEMPLATE_PATH . "/sidebar.php");
require_once(TEMPLATE_PATH . "/breadcrumb.php");
renderLayout(VIEWS_PATH . "/index.view.php");
require_once(TEMPLATE_PATH . "/footer.php");
and at the bottom of the header.php which is included on index.php:
if(isset($_SESSION['noty']) AND strlen($_SESSION['noty']) > 0) {
$noty = explode("||", $_SESSION['noty']);
noty($noty[2], $noty[1], $noty[0]);
$_SESSION['noty'] = "";
} else {
$_SESSION['noty'] = "";
}
Also noty function is:
function noty($text, $layout, $type) {
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">
noty({text: '$text', layout: '$layout', type: '$type'});
</script>";
}
This isn't working. $_SESSION['noty'] is not set when I get to index.php from login.php.
EDIT 1:
session.php contains session_start() on top and it is required on both index.php and login.php.
EDIT 2:
exit; after header() redirect doesn't works for me.
SOLVED:
I set $_SESSION to array() whenever a user wasn't logged in on session.php, so it was deleting also $_SESSION['noty']. That error was so stupid.
