I'm just full of questions these days....
On my site, I have the customer login box. I also have panel.php...the page it leads to when logged in properly. I kinda figured out how to use the username as the "Welcome USERNAME, here, you will be able to view your billing, etc..etc..." but that's all I've been able to do
and links are Trouble tickets (a seperate script)
Billing (another seperate yet to be determined script, home made probably)
Profile (like here you see on dathorn in your profile link, again probably home made)
Welcome Email (again same thing as Dathorn...homemade again)
Now the snag I'm really hitting in, is, for now, I'm just gonna create a txt file or database, that stores the info I get when someone signs up and associates the info to the username I give.
Soooo, when someone logs in, I can't figure out how to make it check that file, to make sure its the right user/pass (the way its setup now, is anything and everything can login), then associate the username to all the information associated to that customer. Then, make the links to the left dynamic, seeing as how it's all seperate scripts, they need to skip login form. The only one it really really needs to bypass is that of the trouble tickets. The other sections, I'll just template them and make them show the info from the file.
so, in short, I'm trying to figure out how to make the login fetch info from the file, then generate dynamic pages and links, depending on the user login. Then on their profile page, to be able to change their information without needing me to intervene. Then maybe in the future, make the info they send, get sent directly into the file.
Sounds complicated, but in my head it seems so simple, but I can't figure it out, grrr.
