login.php:


<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
 input{
 border:1px solid olive;
 border-radius:5px;
 }
 h1{
  color:darkgreen;
  font-size:22px;
  text-align:center;
 }
span{
  color:lightgreen;

 }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Login<h1>
<form action='#' method='post'>
<table cellspacing='5' align='center'>
<tr><td>User name:</td><td><input type='text' name='name'/></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type='password' name='pwd'/></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type='checkbox' name='remember' /> <span>Remember me</span></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'/></td></tr>
</table>

</form>
<?php
session_start();
//your values are stored in cookies, then you can login without validate
if(isset($_COOKIE['name']) && isset($_COOKIE['pwd']))
{
    header('location:welcome.php');
}
// login validation in php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
 mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die(mysql_error());
 mysql_select_db('new') or die(mysql_error());
 $name=$_POST['name'];
 $pwd=$_POST['pwd'];
 if($name!=''&&$pwd!='')
 {
   $query=mysql_query("select * from login where name='".$name."' and password='".$pwd."' ");
   $res=mysql_fetch_row($query);
   if($res)
   {
    if(isset($_POST['remember']))
{
 setcookie('name',$name, time() + (60*60*24*1));
 setcookie('pwd',$pwd, time() + (60*60*24*1));
}
    $_SESSION['name']=$name;
    header('location:welcome.php');
   }
   else
   {
    echo'You entered username or password is incorrect';
   }
 }
 else
 {
  echo'Enter both username and password';
 }
}
?>
</body>
</html>

             where,
            if(isset($_COOKIE['name']) && isset($_COOKIE['pwd'])) {} means if the user values in  cookies, then the user can login directly without login validation in php.
         
           if(isset($_POST['remember'])){
           setcookie('name',$name,time() + (60*60*24*1));
           setcookie('pwd',$pwd,time() + (60*60*24*1));
           }
           which means, if the user click the remember me check box, then you have to store them in cookie. If you don't know  about cookies in php, then visit Cookies in php.

          When you run the login.php fille, you'll get output like this:

validate remember me concept in login form using php

welcome.php:


<?php    
  session_start();
  if(isset($_COOKIE['name']))
  {
    echo 'Welcome: '. $_COOKIE['name'].'<br>';
  }
  else
  {
    echo 'Welcome: '. $_SESSION['name'].'<br>';
  }
  echo'<a href="signout.php">Singout</a>';
?>

      where,
                  if(isset($_COOKIE['name'])){}else{} means if the values in cookie, then return name from cookie. Otherwise name return from session.
             Now you enter username and password  'guru' and 'guru' without select the remember check box, you will navigate to 'welcome.php' page and get output like this:

                   welcome: guru
                   Signout

 If it is wrong, then you can't login.

   

Signout in php:           


            When you click the signout.php, it destroy the session and return back to login page. The php script for signout page:
signout.php:

<?php    
         session_start();
         session_destroy();
         header('location:login.php');
?>

           You select the remember me check box while login. Then you navigate to welcome.php page. Now you click the signout on welcome.php page, you can't return back to login page. Because the concept is, when you signout the page, you return back to login.php page, where you wrote the php script as like as:
          
                  if(isset($_COOKIE['name']) && isset($_COOKIE['pwd'])) {}

It means, if values in cookie, you can login again. Now you comes to login page and again login and navigates to welcome page because your values in cookies.So you are in welcome page until the cookie is expired.

<body>
<h1>Login<h1>

<table cellspacing='5' align='center'>
<tr><td>User name:</td><td><input type='text' name='name'/></td></tr>
<tr><td>Password:</td><td><input type='password' name='pwd'/></td></tr>

</table>

</form>
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
 mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die(mysql_error());
 mysql_select_db('new') or die(mysql_error());
 $name=$_POST['name'];
 $pwd=$_POST['pwd'];
 if($name!=''&&$pwd!='')

    echo'You entered username or password is incorrect';
   }
 }
 else

How to store array values into session in php

                You can store single value to session in PHP easily. Visit store values to session in php.


Store array values to session in PHP:


                          You can also store multiple values into session using PHP. You can store one or more than one values in array that can be stored into session. Consider the following example. It describes the array values directly stored into session in PHP. The following PHP script is used to store values to session in PHP.

<?php
 session_start();
 $ar=array('php','mysql','jquery');
 $_SESSION['arr']=$ar;
 $session=$_SESSION['arr'];
 foreach($session as $val)
 {
   echo $val.'<br>';
 }
 ?>

 where,
            session_start() - start the session
            $ar=array() - array variable

                  Now you can get output like this:

                                    php
                                    mysql
                                    jquery

Store multiple (array) values into session in PHP on form submit:

                          Consider the following example:


 <html>
 <body>
 <?php
 session_start();
 error_reporting('E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE');
 if($_POST['submit'])
 {
  if(count($_SESSION['arr'])==0)
  {
   $ar=array();
   $val=$_POST['value'];
   array_push($ar,$val);
   $_SESSION['arr']=$ar;
   print_R($_SESSION['arr']);
  }
  else
  {
   $val=$_POST['value'];
   array_push($_SESSION['arr'],$val);
   print_R($_SESSION['arr']);
  }
 }
?>
 <form action="#" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="value">
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>


                    The above example describes array values are storing into session in PHP while form submitting.
            where,
                      if(count($_SESSION['arr'])==0) {} - check  whether the array contains values or not. Create array variable and store value into array, then value is stored into session if there is no values in session. Otherwise it directly add values into session.
                     array_push() - add values to array in PHP.

PHP - Session

                      Session is the temporary memory to store a particular value. All of you use gmail, that gmail is the bset example for session concept. If you login gmail, then close the browser. Now you open gmail in your browser, you login gmail again. Unlike, you logout from gmail and close the browser. Now you can't login again. It comes to login page. This is the session concept. The value is stored in session until you destroy the session.

Session in php:


                      In php, there is 3 steps for session.
                      1. Start the session using session_start().
                      2. Load values to session variable by $_SESSION['name']='Guru'.
                      3. Destroy the session by session_destroy() or unset($_SESSION['name']).

session_start() in php:


                      It is used to start the session in php. Consider folowing example in php:

<?php    
         session_start();
         $_SESSION['name']='Guru';    
         echo $_SESSION['name'];
?>

                     Now you'll get output:     Guru

Suppose you run file without session_start(). Then you'll get error message like below:

session_start() in php

session_destroy() in php: 


                   It is used to destroy the session. Consider following example in php:
welcome.php:

<?php    
         session_start();
         $_SESSION['name']='Guru';    
         echo $_SESSION['name'].'<br>';
         echo'<a href="signout.php">Signout</a>';
?>

signout.php:

<?php    
         session_start();
         session_destroy();
         header('location:welcome.php');
?>

                When you run the welcome.php, your output like this:

                       Guru
                       Signout

                  When you click the signout, it destroy the session and navigates to welcome.php. Now you try to clikc back button on your browser, it go to welcome.php page, but the value stored in session is not displayed. It give error message like below:

session_destroy() in php

unset() in php:


                  You can also delete the session using unset() in php. The script for unset() as follows as:

<?php    
         session_start();
         unset($_SESSION['name']);
         header('location:welcome.php');
?>

It is also give same output like session_destroy() in php.
