php login box in the index

[Ruko]

how do i create a php login box in the homepage (Not the forums index)

Can you show stuff like, when the user is logged in, instead of the login forum, it will say "You are logged in. Click here to proceed to the forum"

my directory of the forum is /forum/

<?php
    define('IN_PHPBB', true);
    $phpbb_root_path = '../forum/';
    $phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
    include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
     
    // Start session management
    $user->session_begin();
    $auth->acl($user->data);
    $user->setup();

    if($user->data['is_registered'])
    {
        echo "Welcome " . $user->data['username']; //User is already logged in
    }
    else if(isset($_POST['login']))
    {
        $username = request_var('username', '', true);
        $password = request_var('password', '', true);
        $autologin = (!empty($_POST['autologin'])) ? true : false;

        $result = $auth->login($username, $password, $autologin);

        if ($result['status'] == LOGIN_SUCCESS)
        {
            //User was successfully logged into phpBB
            $redirect = request_var('redirect', "{$phpbb_root_path}index.$phpEx");

            // append/replace SID
            $redirect = reapply_sid($redirect);

            meta_refresh(0, $redirect);
            trigger_error('You have been logged in');
        }
        else
        {
            echo 'Bad Login ' . $username; //User's login failed
        }
    }
    else
    {
        echo '
            Please log in:<br />
            <form method="POST" action="_SELF">
            <p>Username: <input type="text" name="username" size="40"><br />
            Password: <input type="password" name="password" size="40"><br />
            Remember Me?: <input type="checkbox" name="autologin"><br />
            <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="login"></p>
            </form>';
    }
    ?>

Are you sure you have the correct path defined for the $phpbb_root_path variable? Based on the directory structure shown in the error message you posted, shouldn't the root path be ./forum/ (with one period) instead of ../forum/ (with two periods)?

[Ruko]

Fixed that and didn't do a thing.

[Lumpy Burgertushie]

am I lost? this won't work because the user has not logged in yet. so the username varible can't print the username?

Code: Select all

else
        {
            echo 'Bad Login ' . $username; //User's login failed

http://pokelab.co.tv is my web link.

the directory of the forum is "/forums

I changed the "forum" in the script to "forums"
