All,

I am trying to create a area where my clients can login and access their files & invoices etc. I have created a login script that re-directs to a profile page if successful. What it is, I want all clients to be able to log in and go to a profile.php page and to show up their files. Is there a way of just changing the content for each user that logs in? I can display via session name and that works fine.

All help is appreciated

can you explain your problem a bit better? you said you want a way to display profile when they log in, but you also already have a script that does it. what do you need that isn't done?

I'd sooner use a CMS than roll your own session/login code. What's your website?

What i need to happen is someone a client to login and the content to change per user but keep it on one page.

www.dawsondesigns.org.uk then login with Midlands Clothing & 123

so instead of redirecting, you wanna have just one page for everything? look into SPA

i clicked member's area, but i couldn't click into the username field. it kept popping up a contact page.

That;s weird i've just logged in fine.

Once the client logs in

it gets redirected to profile.php

i want the content inside the profile.php page to change for each client.

how are you displaying your profile.php page? i assume you're first querying the profile data based on userid then displaying that, but it sounds like you're not?

Nope not via user id? Via username

that only redirects if they haven't logged in. i meant, i assume the "profile" information you want to show is tied to the user, right? so where's your code that shows the profile info? presumably you fetch it from a DB of some sort first.

i'd be careful about using username. using a surrogate key is often a good idea. what if they want to change their username but keep the rest of their data?

based on their login youll grab their user id, create a session

and with their user id u can fetch all of their info, just make sure the info actually has their user id attached to it in the database

for instance:

user:
id | name | email | phone

invoice
user_id | invoice_num | invoice_path

just a quick example of how many ur db is set up, the invoice_path can go to like a jpg or pdf file inside of a folder.
