Hello Everyone,

I've created a form with RSForm Pro to authenticate a user. After a user submits his username and password, this is compared with the saved user credentials in the database. If the authentication is successful, i want the user to be redirected to a new template (URL) as below.

// Retrieve form variables
$username = $_POST;
$password = $_POST;


// create reference to global database
$db =& JFactory::getDBO();

// create query
$query = "select * from jos_support_center";


// execute query
$db->setQuery($query);

// return results
$usernames = $db->loadObjectList();



// if the container variable is not empty, loop through it
if(count($usernames)){

foreach($usernames as $user){


if($username == $user->username && $password == $user->password){

header('http://127.0.0.1/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=20&Itemid=43') ;

also tried fopen() command but was unsuccessful

$fd = fopen('http://127.0.0.1/index.php?....','r');
}



}

}else{

// Thank you message
$thankYouMessage = "The username and password combination you've provided is not correct. Please do try again later ";

echo "<p>".$thankYouMessage."</p>";

}


I still can't figure out what i'm missing here. I'd be very grateful if someone can correct me. Thanks

Hello,

please try adding a die(); or exit(); statement after the redirect.
