I'm trying to create a mock-up of a site with the ability of logging in using PHP and session.
menu.php
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php">Index</a></li>
<li><a href="log.php">Log In</a></li>
</ul>
index.php
<?php
session_start();
include("menu.php");
echo "<br>Main page here<br>";
?>
log.php
<?php
include("menu.php");
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['user'])){
$_SESSION['user'] = "Test Login";
echo "Welcome " . $_SESSION['user'];
}
else {
echo "You are already logged in as: " . $_SESSION['user'];
}
?>
My issue is that every time I click the link to log.php using menu.php I always get the "Welcome Test Login" message, as if the session was resetting every click.
Is there a way to get the "You are already logged in as: Test Login" message from the second click on log.php onwards?
