iyke20024: I dont know why most of you guys still want to spend so much money to study in the uk. Why not try Germany, at least they dont have so much immigration changes that affect immigrant. Secondly, its almost free. Thirdly.. you will learn new language.

Anyway..if you are not bent on london.. or england.. you can try queens university in Belfast, NI, UK. Nice place. no hassles and still in the UK.
yeah, i heard germany too. i'll start some research on them. Hope its cheaper than US.

logica: I know it isn't. And I was referring to redirect to original page; not session management. But it does appear that the way sessions are handled is flawed.
How do you mean flawed, i can't really argue on that because i don't know any other web platform's method. To me i think its quite ok

Snippets: @Spikes C.. Please am a newbie in php.. I have a Question.

Assuming my site has five members and I want to Log them in when they enter their Username n Submit;

I Need a php code that can do this.. This is Just for Practise..

Is This Correct coz my Pc charger spoilt n I can't run it..

<?php

If(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$username = $_POST['user'];

If($username=="frank" || $username=="jenny" || $username=="jessica" || $username=="amanda" || $username=="olivia"wink
{
echo "Welcome To Our Members Area";
}
else
{
echo "Incorrect Username.. Please Try Again";
}
}
?>
This will definitely work but has some challenges.
1. I hope you would remember to sanitise your variables and use statements (with PDO or Mysqli).

2. What if you add more users, are you gonna be editing your code. Manage it with a DataBase.

3. I hope you remember the passwords (Pls always save a hashed password and mangle the hash salt.
I don't like storing salts so i use the username/email and mangle it with some CONSTANT characters)

bigfrancis21: Most US colleges don't offer B.Eng, as it is done in Nigeria. It is usually BS and equivalent to a B.Eng. Second, Electrical/Electronics as you know it in Nigeria is normally, in the US, Electrical and Computer Engineering/Electrical and Computer Science/Electrical Engineering or any of its variants. It is all the same. In my undergraduate university, UNN, Electrical and Electronics Engineering are even two separate departments on their own.
Just simply look for prospective schools that offers the course in any of its variants - it is the same thing. In addition, there are more factors to consider when selecting prospective schools.
Thanks man, really appreciate it. Seriously, the BS and B.Eng wahala in Nigeria is making me look for B.ENG ONLY.

Am actually still looking for univ....already got admission in a UK Uni but just wanna keep searching for others.

Do you guys know any US univ. (Texas) that offers B.ENG in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I haven't even found one single one, all i found were
B.S electrical engineering.

Again, what of anyone for UK that is low cost. The UK univs i found are really costly. Am looking at London, ipswich or close by london. Thanks

logica: I see. I don't know how it works in PHP, but this is what I expect when dealing with a standard web application:

Before a user logs on he is anonymous but has a session (which you can call anonymous session).

When he logs on, he then has a new (authenticated) session which is no longer the same as the anonymous session.

So if you had previously saved anything in the anonymous session you cannot access them in the new (authenticated) session; as they are not the same.

If the session you have pre-login and post-login are the same, I think that's a major security flaw.

I was just curious about how PHP uses sessions. By the way I am surprised PHP has no standard way of dealing with this as do quite a number of off-the-shelve web application frameworks.
The only thing that makes a session anonymous is what it contains.
When you ope a session, it contains no data but has a session id which the user's browser always returns.

This session might contain the user's language choice, site theme choice, mobile/desktop view choice etc.
Therefore it contains general settings/site usage settings

Now, when the user logs in, you set some authentication variables/data. example the user's username, the user's access level, the user's id and a logged in flag. These new session variables would be removed when logged out.

Now for added security, PHP has a session function session_regenerate_id() which changes the user's session id and sends him the new one but still retains the old data.

PHP is actually not a framework, there're PHP frameworks which does so, infact all PHP frameworks has session managers

pauli coco: I am a woman,but that woman deserved the beatings. No one under no circumstances deserves racist remarks. His parents probably got to the uk in the 80s ( if he's actually a nigerian) and they must have contributed more to the uk economy than this eastern european, who joined the EU in 2004 and is making unnecessary noise. I got that from an polish man before and I told him to Bleep off to poor fucking poland and that It is my fucking birth right to be in the UK, compared to the scum-bag. Bleep them! Black british ppl rule. Nigerians, go to unis, educate themselves since the late 60s. There might be bad eggs amongst us, but they are everywhere. In every culture, race . At the end of the day, I have noticed that eastern europeans come with their racist attitudes from back hom, where they shout momkey chants and physically abuse poor international/especially nigerian students sad. Anyone who does not live in europe, should not respond to this with crap. I am sick and tired of ppl blaming us foreigners and telling us that we need to deal with racist abuse or go back home. Wtf? Globalisation exists... We aint no thieves, we pay tax and contribute to da system, we give birth to kids and die in the uk. Bleep off and kill urself if u don't like it.

logica: But the session does not exist yet till after successful login. So which session do you refer to?
i always open sessions on all pages. language variable and general stuffs are saved there.

Login variables are only set when the person is logged in
Programming › Re: Redirecting Back To Original Page After Login. by spikesC(m): 2:57pm On Jan 10, 2013
when you check if the user has logged in, collect the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in a session and redirect to it.
Some people, even big sites, use a get variable. But IMHO, i think it is somewhat dangerous.
