PHP Session is not set using php & EXTJS

Question

Hello, When I call a php file using Ajax, I do this :

function logIntoApp(){
    Ext.Ajax.request({
        url:'php/login.php',
        params:{
                action:'login',
                email:Ext.getCmp('userLogin').getValue(),
                motDePasse:Ext.getCmp('passwordLogin').getValue()
        },
        method:'GET',
        success:function(result, request){
            //Ext.MessageBox.alert('Success', );
            if(result.responseText == 'admin'){
                //Ext.MessageBox.alert('Alert', result.responseText);
                window.location.replace("administration.php");
            }
            else if(result.responseText == 'pro'){
                //Ext.MessageBox.alert('Alert', result.responseText);
                window.location.replace("proAdministration.php");
            }
            else{
                Ext.MessageBox.alert('Alert', result.responseText);//'Email ou mot de passe incorrect!');
            }
        },
        failure:function(result, request){
            Ext.MessageBox.alert('Failed', 'Erreur de chargement de données');
        }
    });
}

in my php file, I set a $_SESSION to use it in my administration.php

if($role=='Administrateur'){
                    $_SESSION['role']='admin';
                    $_SESSION['email']=$email;
                    $message = 'admin';
                }

And in my administration.php, I have this :

<?php
session_start();
echo "alert(''". $_SESSION['role'] . ")";
    if($_SESSION['role']=='admin'){
        //echo "alert('pro')";
    }
    else{
        //echo "alert('admin')";
        header("Location:index.php");
    }
?>

And in my index.php I have this :

<?php

    session_start();
    $_SESSION['role']='visiteur';
    $_SESSION['email']='no';


?>

the problem is that I'm never redirected to administration.php, I think because the $_SESSION['role'] is never set as 'admin'

Answer 1

You should try session_start immediately after php tag no spaces in between session start and php tag

Answer 2

I'm no ExtJS expert, but judging by the logic, your result.responseText is always equal to alert('something'), and never something simple as admin or pro, so it gets to the last else statement. Maybe you should fix the output sent by PHP, skip the alert()

Answer 3

I found a solution in a forum, I changed my file from utf-8 to ainsi and it works I really dont understand, but who can explain please ?
