php sessions

[fragalot]

well, i've been working on an small tutorial site (don't mind the mess)
and here's my problem:

login as admin with the password 123456

nothings wrong right?
now wait till the index page comes back up, and see who's welcomed.

the same thing happens when you login as "test" with the password "5312"
---
it alway's changes the session variable "user" to thomask...
i tried fixing it by turning on register_globals in the .htacces file,
but all editing .htacces files give me are internal server errors...

now, anybody know an way to fix this?

Need to see some code, but i'm going to guess some where along the way your username is being reset.

[fragalot]

don't mind the mess in the code
quickly puffed it together.

--
for asfar as i searched, it's not beeing changed anywhere..
-> forgot the database :s
exported it in 2 different compatebillities.

To test if its being reset change the $_SESSION['user'] to something else like $_SESSION['name'] that way if user is being used some where else it will solve the problem if it still is getting changed you know the problem is some where else.

i'm re-doing the whole site now, because it's coded poorly, and cluttered
thx for the help tho.

Yep, just rename the session you're using to something unique, the session ['user'] is being used on your server/domain already.

[fragalot]

even when i used session_name('frag'); it didn't help, lol

Hmm, strange. But it has something to do with sessions, as your script works fine on my server, I see the name 'admin'.

Have you got some other sort of login system that you're using? If so, try destroying those sessions (logging out) and logging in with your tutorial site.
