I am working on login system that redirects to appropriate URL based on usertype and user_activation_status. The code below:
$.post(
'./assets/tasks/process-login.php',
{
email:email,
password:password
},
function(data){
console.log(data);
if(data==1){
$("#lblMessage_frmLogin").css("color","green");
$("#lblMessage_frmLogin").text("Login successful.. Redirecting to your homepage").fadeIn();
window.location.href=siteurl + '/my-home/';
}else if(data==-2){
$("#lblMessage_frmLogin").css("color","red");
$("#lblMessage_frmLogin").html("Looks like you haven't registered with us, Please <a href='" + siteurl + "/home'> click here </a> to register.").fadeIn();
}else{
$("#lblMessage_frmLogin").css("color","red");
$("#lblMessage_frmLogin").text("Login unsuccessful, please recheck the details you have entered.").fadeIn();
}
});
I haven't included ./assets/tasks/process-login.php
for fear of lengthening the post. It just does echo 1 for success, 0 for wrong password, -2 for un-existing email.
After being redirected to /my-home/, there is a check in the header of the page for user_activation_status, which in turn, has to redirect the page to appropriate page.
/my-home/index.php
<?php include './includes/meta.php';
include './includes/header-nav.php';
check_user_action_status($_SESSION['logged_in_userid']);
switch ($usertype) {
case 1:
$selected_dashboard='candidate-dashboard.php';
break;
case 2:
$selected_dashboard='expert-dashboard.php';
break;
case 3:
$selected_dashboard='admin-dashboard.php';
break;
default:
if($usertype=="") user_logout();
break;
}
include './includes/page-content/'.$selected_dashboard;
include './includes/footer.php';
?>
Function:
/**
Function to check if the user has confirmed email and filled profile, uploaded docs or disabled.
Params : userid
Returns none; Redirects to appropriate page, or logs out if user not logged in.
**/
function check_user_action_status($userid){
$userid=trim(sqlescapes($userid));
if($get_row = mysqli_query($GLOBALS['conn'], "select user_type,user_activation_status from tbl_users where user_id=$userid")){
if (mysqli_num_rows($get_row) > 0) {
if($got_row=mysqli_fetch_object($get_row)){
if($got_row->user_activation_status==0){
header("location:".$GLOBALS['siteurl']."/my-home/confirm-email");
}else if($got_row->user_activation_status==1){
header("location:".$GLOBALS['siteurl']."/my-home/my-profile?id=start");
}else if($got_row->user_activation_status==-1){
header("location:".$GLOBALS['siteurl']."/my-home/disabled-account");
}
if($got_row->user_type==2){
if($got_row->user_activation_status==2){
header("location:".$GLOBALS['siteurl']."/my-home/upload-docs");
}
}
}
}else{
user_logout();
}
}else{
user_logout();
}
}
(please note, $GLOBALS['siteurl']='http://localhost/tlaqi/'
. user_logout()
and sqlescapes()
are user defined functions for corresponding functionality)
The logic works perfectly on localhost but when I have uploaded to the server, after login, it is not redirecting to appropriate page as defined in check_user_action_status()
even though the conditions are met. Instead, it is just loading /my-home/index.php.
Where am I going wrong?
Header has to set before output is sent.Add ob_start();
at very beginning of the php script. If it include another file then do not use ?> in the end.
or try
header("location:".$GLOBALS['siteurl']."/my-home/confirm-email");
exit();
or echo "<script>location='your_url.com'</script>";
I have experienced that kind of issue before and now I'm not using header('Location: pageExample.php');
anymore, instead I'm using JavaScript's document.location
.
Change your:
header('Location: page1.php');
To something like this:
echo "<script type='text/javascript'> document.location = 'page1.php'; </script>";
