[ProWebUK]

Thanks Chris!

I had a feeling you would offer to try. That "phriendly-Mark" guy (formerly Spinna-Mark) that originally made the script doesn't have alot of time for us lowly hosts lately since he got a "real" job. Asked him about it today on MSN and his reply was "ask the members in DA forums" LOL

Let me know when you get it done if you're able to find time today.









PS to "phriendly-Mark": Just rattling your chain a little!

any idea how i can close the session via a link? Ie logout?

Send a hidden variable to CMD_LOGIN like this:

<input type=hidden name="LOGOUT_URL" value="http://url/ofwhereto/go/whenwe/sign/out.htm">

 

[ctnchris]

if ( $_REQUEST['page'] == 'logout' ) // or whatever
{
	session_write_close();
}

See http://www.php.net/session_write_close

I suppose that will work anyway; not following this thread.

that didnt work, but this did

<?  session_start(); $_SESSION = array(); session_destroy(); ?>

You don't really need to use the API for logging members in....... you can simply post the "username" and "password" fields (aswell as logout_url etc if you want to take advantage of them, although they are not required) to http://domain.com:2222/CMD_USER_LOGIN or even any page in the control panel

Hi Mark,
Ive been studying your code and, I am new to PHP.
The thing I don't understand is which line of code do I need to
change or add, to make the login display an actual members page once logged in?

Thanks very much for your time and help -Jason

I know this is a bit off topic - but has anyone got any idea how to make it work with cpanel - im allready using it with my da servers and ideally would like it to work with my cpanel boxes too - ive tried and i just get access denied. Just changed the port to 2082.

Any ideas?

Search for it, cpanel forums will more than likely have it webhostchat.com I think used to have it and a few others... definitely possible.
