let user access to user own pages

hi,
i have tables in database: "moderator" with access level, and "content" with moderator ID, so they can login to thier pages, and edit , add thier content. Can u help me to create a login authentication that make user login to thier own page with access level, and edit their own information?

Thank you a lot

RE: let user access to user own pages

I could really use this as well.

I wish there was some kind of tuturial that walks you through installing a login feature and the ability to request a password if they forget.

In addition I need the ability for a member to retrieve his record from mysql, make changes and update it.

Does anyone have anything like this?

RE: let user access to user own pages

I found this simple to do when just making one. I havnt used anything tricky at all.
just have a form to login wich passes the username and the password to another page that runs the sql called login.php wich amongst other stuff contains this

php Code:

Original - php Code

$connection = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password) or die ("Unable to connect!"); 
$query = "SELECT uid, uperms from users WHERE uuser = '$uuser' AND upass = '$upass'"; 
$result = mysql_db_query($database, $query, $connection) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error()); 
 
// if row exists - login/pass is correct 
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) 
    { 
    // initiate a session 
    session_start(); 
 
    // register the user's ID and permission level 
    session_register("SESSION_UID"); 
    session_register("SESSION_UPERMS"); 
    list($uid, $uperms) = mysql_fetch_row($result); 
    $SESSION_UID = $uid; 
    $SESSION_UPERMS = $uperms; 
 
    // redirect to main menu page 
    header("Location:testingpass.php"); 
    mysql_free_result ($result); 
 
    // close connection 
    mysql_close($connection); 
    } 
else 
    // login/pass check failed 
    { 
    mysql_free_result ($result); 
    mysql_close($connection); 
    // redirect to error page 
    header("Location:index.php"); 
    exit; 
    } 
?>

this is then dealt with by testingpass.php which includes the users index page as an isclude for each level of users as follows

php Code:

Original - php Code

 
your unique user id is <?php echo $SESSION_UID ?> <br>
your permission level is set to <?php echo $SESSION_UPERMS ?> <br>
 
 
<?php // decide if user is admin or a lower level to bring up their relevant index page ?>
<?php 
 if ($SESSION_UPERMS == "1") 
    {
    echo "your an admin so you get full acccess to all pages" ;
    }
    else
    {
    echo "your a Normal user of the system so you get a customised links page with only the info you need on it depending on your users permission level!" ;
    }
    ?>
 
<? //php elseif for showing the subadmins pages ?>
 
<? 
if( $SESSION_UPERMS == "1" )
{
   include ("level1.php");
}
elseif( $SESSION_UPERMS == "2" )
{
   include ("level2.php");
}
elseif( $SESSION_UPERMS == "3" )
{
   include ("level3.php");
}
elseif( $SESSION_UPERMS == "4" )
{
   include ("level4.php");
}
elseif( $SESSION_UPERMS == "5" )
{
   include ("level5.php");
}

then at the top of level1.php i have the following lines

php Code:

Original - php Code
<? // check for valid user session session_start(); if(!session_is_registered("SESSION_UPERMS")) { $SESSION_UPERMS != 1; exit; } $SESSION_UPERMS = 1; ?>

 
<?
// check for valid user session 
session_start(); 
if(!session_is_registered("SESSION_UPERMS")) 
{ 
$SESSION_UPERMS != 1; 
exit; 
} 
$SESSION_UPERMS = 1;
?>

This should hopefully stop direct access to the pages bypassing the security login feature by bookmarks and stuff.
I would like any feedback as its my first attempt at thsi sort of stuff.
