Hey

i'm having problems using the Phakt login / restrict behaviours. it seems to log in users ok, but whenever i use the 'restrict' function, it just kicks me back to the 'fail' page. basically it never accepts the user as being logged in. i have tried to use the <?php session_start();?> code to see if i can print the $KT_Username global var but it isn't printing... so i have 2 thoughts.

1) either i have missed out on something important
2) my php.ini is set up incorrectly. what setting in the ini file affect usage of $KT_Username?

thanks for your help

Sounds like a session problem, if that KT_* var won't echo... Are you using the latest Phakt (2.4.0), that was released yesterday?

Hi Bcolflesh

i'm using the version of Phakt that came out a few weeks ago (2.2.0)... i'm going to try the new one. What could cause this problem? could it be my IIS/PHP settings?

I'm guessing the problem is caused by the login script failing to initialise the $KT_Username var or the var being somehow unavailable or disabled.

Sessions have to be enabled for that behavior to work - also, check the placement of the "restrict" code - should be first on the page.
