Access Control Problem

[neiro]

I am having a problem with Chapter 12's Access Control section in the book titled Build Your Own Database Driven Website.

I have all these files in the same directory:

access.inc.php
config.inc.php
login.inc.php
access.inc.php

Now when I go the my index page I have this code at the top of the page.

<?php require 'secure.inc.php'; ?>

It pull the login script and prompts me to login, but when I login and hit enter it just blinks and goes back to blank textfields. It doesnt give me access to the file I am trying to gain access to.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

thanks

Try reading this:
The PHP Anthology Volume 2, Chapter 1 - Access Control
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/ant...access-control

Look around in the forum after you implement the above. Look for my post on that topic. When I had problem.

Here is my final version of how i'm implementing it here:
http://aggieculture.tamu.edu/linuxTutorApp/

      $db = & new MySQL(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_NAME);
      $auth=& new Auth ($db,LOGIN_URL); 
       if( $auth->isValid() || isset($_GET['logout'])) {/*returns 0 if user is verified*/
         $auth->logout();
   	     exit();
       }
      $auth->db->closeDb();

//The above is 90% sitepoints implementation just rewriten to suit my needs
//http://aggieculture.tamu.edu/linuxTutorApp/Documentation/DB_DESIGN_PIC.jpg
//Look at Permissions bottom right.... the bottom is my added security to 
		
	  $site_permissions=$auth->session->get('PERMISSIONS');
          for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($site_permissions); $i++) {
              if($i==0){$appended_permissions=$site_permissions[$i];}
              else{$appended_permissions.=", ".$site_permissions[$i];}
           }
	  if (!eregi("".PER_ADMIN_RANDOM, $appended_permissions)){
         $auth->logout();
	     exit();
        }

I'm not done with the site and will not go live till next semester...so i'm the only one seeing it now... try registering as a user and see.... users link so you can see what i'm storing in the sessions.
