I have a reporting website that I created and I'm slowly adding functionality to it. I've just added a part where it is supposed to force a user to log in. It's really just to capture the users CorpID, I don't keep or record the password and it's not required.

Right now I have the login portion working. Then I'm trying to run a check to make sure that a user is logged in and if not to force them to log in. I am only doing this right now on the Admin page, which only I have access to. Here is how I've got it right now:

AdminPage.php:

<body> <?php require 'CheckLogin.php'; include 'Menu.php'; ?> 

Other code for the page

CheckLogin.php:

<?php $Expiration = time() - (60*60*24*7); echo "You made it to here!"; if(!isset($_COOKIE['UserName'])) { if(isset($_POST['UserName'])) { setcookie("UserName",$_POST['UserName'],$Expiration); } else { echo "<script>location.href='LoginForm.php'</script>"; } } else { if(isset($_POST['UserName'])) { setcookie("UserName",$_POST['UserName'],$Expiration); } else { setcookie("UserName",$_COOKIE['UserName'],$Expiration); } } ?> 

UPDATE

Here's the Menu.php

<?php $AdminUsers = include 'AdminUsernames.php'; if(isset($_COOKIE['UserName']) && in_array($_COOKIE['UserName'],$AdminUsers,TRUE)) { $user = 'Admin'; } else { $user = 'User'; } //echo "<BR>"; print_r($_COOKIE['UserName']); //echo "<BR>"; print_r($AdminUsers); ?> <div class="menu-wrap"> <nav class="menu"> <ul class="clearfix" id="menu"> <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> <li><a href="AdvancedSearch.php?PageName=AdvancedSearch">Report Builder</a></li> <li><a href="OPR Reports.php">OPCEN Reports</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=OPR_COEI">New COEI OPR Report</a></li> <li><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=OPR_OSP">New OSP OPR Report</a></li> <li><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=EOJ">EOJ Report</a></li> <li><a href="MaterialTrackingReport.php?PageName=MaterialTracking">Material Tracking</a></li> <li><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=VendorMaterial">Vendor Material Tracking</a></li> <li><a href="http://mafinfwwapv01/Reports_MDAT/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=/PMDB/CAF2 Tracker">CAF2 Tracker</a></li> <li><a href="JIMReport.php?PageName=JIMReport">JIM Report</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">CAFII Reports</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li class="minHeight"><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=MaterialReceived">Material Received Job Not Started</a></li> <li class="minHeight"><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=CAF2Tracker">CAF2 Tracker New Test</a></li> <?php include 'DBConn.php'; $data = $conn->prepare('SELECT Id, QName, SSRSName from pmdb.QDefs where QSrc = 2 AND IsActive = 1 order by QName'); $data->execute(); $result = $data->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); foreach ($result as $q) { echo '<li class="minHeight"><a href="http://mafinfwwapv01/Reports_MDAT/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=/PMDB/' . str_replace(' ', '+', $q['SSRSName']) . '" target="_blank">' . $q['QName'] . '</a></li>'; } ?> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Invoicing/Closing</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=NonVarassetInvoices">Non-Varasset Invoices</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">ENG Reports</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=ApprovedProjects">Approved Projects</a></li> <li><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=ApprovedProjects_PrevDay">Approved Projects Previous Day</a></li> <li><a href="ReportPage.php?PageName=M6Action">M6Action</a></li> </ul> </li> <?php if($user == 'Admin') { include 'AdminMenu.php'; } ?> </ul> </nav> </div> 

It's really just a standard menu and has been working fine till I added the require for the CheckLogin.php page.

All I get is a blank page when I have this require in the AdminPage.php. I don't get the echo I don't get the menu or anything.

What am I doing wrong? This isn't the first time that I've used the require, but it is the first time that it results in a blank page.

I do know that I have the expiration set to last week, I'm trying to force a re-login.

    There's most likely a fatal error somewhere. Check your PHP error log. Commented Jul 14, 2017 at 18:40
  • show what's your menu.php code. CheckLogin.php looks fine Commented Jul 14, 2017 at 18:41

    You are setting cookies after flushing response Commented Jul 14, 2017 at 18:42
  • At the very, VERY top of your file add error_reporting(E_ALL); But if I had to guess I'd say your issue is as Mohsen described: you are trying to set cookies after flushing the page has started displaying data. Commented Jul 14, 2017 at 18:45
  • Suggest you take out the echo, as well as adding error_reporting(E_ALL). Commented Jul 14, 2017 at 18:53

Put the following in your script before any includes or requires.

ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL);

Using Doug's suggestion from above I found the error. In using the require I did not use the full path for the file and so it could not be opened. What that line should look like is:

require 'Helper/LoginCheck.php';
