OK, this might be rough, but here goes:

Create a table like so:
------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE tbl_user (
int_userid INTEGER NOT NULL,
str_username VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
str_password VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
str_fullname VARCHAR(64),
int_authlevel INTEGER,
PRIMARY KEY(int_userid),
UNIQUE(str_username)
);
CREATE GENERATOR GEN_TBL_USER_USERID;
------------------------------------------------


Then, here's a simple authentication script


-------- index.php -------
<?php
session_start();


// This function gets values from the SuperGlobals, and makes sure they're
safe to use for DB queries
function getGlobString($var) {
// Extracting a string variable from the superglobals

// Initialise the empty variable
unset($result);

// Test the Session first
if(isset($_SESSION[$var])){
if(is_string($_SESSION[$var])){
$result = $_SESSION[$var];
}
} elseif(isset($_POST[$var])){
if(is_string($_POST[$var])){
$result = $_POST[$var];
}
} elseif(isset($_GET[$var])){
if(is_string($_GET[$var])){
$result = $_GET[$var];
}
} // End of hierarchical SuperGlobal check

if(!isset($result)){
// Handle error quietly - hide from UI
error_log("getGlobNum: No valid string values in SuperGlobals for
variable '".$var."'");
} else {
// Do the final return, escaping single quotes with double quotes for
Firebird use
return str_replace("'","''",$result);
} // End of unset return handler
} // End of getGlobString function


// And now, for the main script

// Pull variables from the SuperGlobals
$username = getGlobString("username");
$password = getGlobString("password");
$action = getGlobString("action");


if($_SESSION[uid] == ""){
// The session variable is empty, which means we're not logged in

if($username != "" && $password != "" && $action == "Login"){
// Ok, we're got username and password supplied. Let's get the login
$sql = "select * from tbl_user where str_username = '".$username."' and
str_password = '".$password."'";
$rec = ibase_query($sql) or die("Sorry, bad query");
if(!$obj = ibase_fetch_object($rec)){
echo "No account information found for that username/password
combination<br>";
} else {
echo "Valid account. Setting session variable<br>";
$_SESSION[uid] = $obj->INT_USERID;
} // End of valid recordset returned
} // End of username and password supplied for login
} // End of empty session variable

// Here, we test the session variable again, in case the login was
unsuccessful

if($_SESSION[uid] == ""){
echo "<form method=post action=index.php>Please login.<br>
Username<br><input type=text name='username' value='".$username."'><br>
Password<br><input type=text name='password'><br>
<input type=submit name='action' value='Login'></form>";
} else {

// Display the rest of your application here, or display a link to continue




} // End of empty session variable check
?>


--------- End of index.php ----------


Hope this helps!!

I guess I am not making myself clear. The following is what I am
looking for.

1) Just the code, simple code where I can change it to my needs.

2) A code where a user/pass table is created.

3) A session is created.

4) Check the table to see if the user is authorized or not to log
in. Depending on which user log in I will generate one type of
report. For example, if user1 logs in a salary report will be
generated, is user2 logs in an address report will be generated and
so on.

Once the user is done session will be ended.

Hope this help and once again thank you for your responses.

Anna
