LOGIN Endless Loop Problem - Newbie

[revDAVE <Cool@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks - Newbie Question here...

I'm using php with filemaker and api from http://fmwebschool.com I am asking
them also for help (nothing yet) - but I thought that here would also be a
great place to ask:

Thread listed here for easier reading...

Start with question:

*Q: Can someone show me how to solve the endless loop problem that Only
Happens : *if you type a BAD LOGIN and it asks you to do it again - and then
you do a successful login*


---

Sorry for this verbose thread...

My Login Setup:

Normally: FMWS login is set so after a successful login - you will go to the
page you started from (that needed a login).....

Currently I have things set so: after a login - before it goes to the page
you started from - ** it will first go to VARS.PHP and set some session
variables *** - then go to the final destination....


*PROBLEM: Somehow it all works - EXCEPT if you type a BAD LOGIN and it asks
you to do it again - and then user types a successful login then:

*It gets STUCK in an *Endless Loop* and the browser says:

Too many redirects occurred trying to open ³http://127.0.0.1/nm/vars.php²;.
This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page
which then is redirected to open the original page.

I'm still confused by this issue...

1 ==========MY LOGIN PAGE:


<?php
$_SESSION['login_from'] = 'client.php';
require_once('FileMaker/FMStudio_Tools.php');

if(!session_id()) session_start();
if( isset($_SESSION['login_from']) && $_SESSION['login_from'] != 'vars.php'
) {
    $_SESSION['orig_login_from'] = $_SESSION['login_from'];
}else{
   //$_SESSION['orig_login_from'] = 'client.php';
}
$_SESSION['login_from'] = 'vars.php';

$_GET["errorMsg"] = fmsPerformLogin();
// FMStudio v1.0 - do not remove comment, needed for DreamWeaver support ?>


ALSO set like FMWS basic login - it goes to itself:
<form id="login_form" name="login_form" method="post" action="">

etc..........


2 =========== MY VARS.PHP PAGE


... code.... set some variables....


<?php
if(!session_id()) session_start();

if($_SESSION['orig_login_from'] != "vars.php")
{ fmsRedirect($_SESSION['orig_login_from']);}
else
{ fmsRedirect('client.php');}

?>


3 =============FMStudio_Tools.php... (UNTOUCHED BY ME)

function fmsPerformLogin() {
   if(!session_id()) session_start();
   fmsCheckLogout();
   if(isset($_POST['login_user'])) {
      $user = fmsPOST('login_user');
      $pass = fmsPOST('login_pass');
      if($user == '' || $pass == '') return 'User Name or Password cannot be
blank';
      $conn = $_SESSION['login_conn'];
      if(isset($_SESSION['login_from']) && $_SESSION['login_from'] != '') {
         $from = $_SESSION['login_from'];
      }else if(isset($_POST['defaultURL']) && $_POST['defaultURL'] != '') {
         $from = $_POST['defaultURL'];
      }else{
         $from = 'index.php';
      }
      if(isset($_SESSION['login_type']) && $_SESSION['login_type'] ==
'table') {
         $_SESSION[$conn.'_tableLogin'] =
array('user'=>$user,'pass'=>$pass,'first'=>true);
      }else{
         $_SESSION[$conn.'_login'] =
array('user'=>$user,'pass'=>$pass,'first'=>true);
      }
      session_write_close();
      header('Location: '.$from);
      exit();
   }
   if(isset($_GET["errorMsg"]) && $_GET["errorMsg"] != '') {
      return $_GET["errorMsg"];
   }else{
      return '';
   }
}
