What I'm wondering is, I have a program that accesses a database and
displays the info in that database... I know, nothing revolutionary
about it... I plan on setting up a database per customer who uses my
system, and what I would like to do is have everyone go to the same
address to login... Such as:
raoset.com/oldb/ they enter their username/password and get redirected
to their site... Or at least pull up their database...
Now that I'm typing this out, I may have thought of away to do this...
Set the main page, so that when you login, it accesses a master
database, which has the username, password, and database name stored in
it. Write the database name to a session variable, which I could then
use in my mysql connect file for the database....
Does that make sense? Thoughts? Problems? RTFM's? :)
Assuming you mean raoset.com is not the domain of their site you would
need to pass the database name to their site some way other than via a
session since the session is tied to the domain name (no way around that
I'm afraid). This clearly makes it a bit insecure so you might want to
rethink how you're doing this.
Maybe they select/enter their domain name on the login form, then you
can use a bit of JS to have the form submit to a script on their site.
This gives the best of both worlds... they all go to the same URL to log
in, but you don't need to pass things like database names between sites
via the browser (which is insecure).
