I am using PHP and MySQL database. I have created a login that validates
username and password against the database. I want to direct the user to a
certain URL based on their username. Is it possible to:-
1. Use the username field of the login form or database to finish the URL ie
username is john21 finished urk woudl be [url]http://www.homepage/admin/john21.php[/url]
2. Alternatively could I create a new field in the database with the complete
URL and use that to direct the user

Failing that how can I direct a specific user to a specific page

This is the login verification code

$loginFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($accesscheck)) {
$GLOBALS['PrevUrl'] = $accesscheck;
session_register('PrevUrl');
}

if (isset($_POST['Username'])) {
$loginUsername=$_POST['Username'];
$password=$_POST['Password'];
$MM_fldUserAuthorization = "";
$MM_redirectLoginSuccess = "admin/SPECIFIC URL.php";
$MM_redirectLoginFailed = "loginfailed.php";
$MM_redirecttoReferrer = false;
mysql_select_db($database_conTest, $conTest);

Help please

Change the above line like this:

$MM_redirectLoginSuccess = "admin/{$loginUsername}.php";

By the way, I see you're using the Dreamweaver User Authentication
server behavior, which breaks on most recent versions of PHP. You may be

Cheers,
I do have code for user authentification but as this my first attempt at a
dynamic site I thought I would use the built in stuff. Will check out your
link when my brain works again.
