Login script to redirect to specifc pages based on username?

[anelka9]

i've found this free/gpl script 'vAuthuenticate', which features PHP login n logoff and secure pages. Plus a admin login with add/delete user panel for mysql db.

vAuthuenticate

But what i need is the part where after you login, the script sends you to your own user page by validating your username. eg.my username is blabla79, so the script returns me to my url

http://myname.com/account/023214-54.php.

Are there any ready scripts for this purpose?

Why not just modify the script you already have to add the new feature?

Add another column to the MySQL user table, which specifies the user's default URL. Then modify the login script so that it sends the browser a "Location" header when the login is successful.

You'll also have to make changes to the admin section to give it the ability to maintain that URL column in the user table.

You roll up your sleeves and start learning PHP. The PHP online manual will be a big help -- it's well-organized and has lots of example code.

In terms of specifics...

Adding the extra column to the table? You should use your preferred MySQL admin tool.

Fetching the extra column from the table? You have the original query the script sends to MySQL. Adding the extra column to the result set and manipulating that column's value can be done using the original code as a template.

Redirecting the browser? Check out PHP's header() function, paying attention to the example code on that page.

maybe adding a link to the MySSQL Manual will also help the man to learn to fish ;-)
