Question

I have created a register form, that puts users in the database and auto loging in them directly after registration ( or it suppose to )

The problem is that when they register an account the autologin is redirecting the previous user that registerd.

I think its because the previous user is already loged id.. But if no one is logd in I get one of my own error message that says ” The user dont exist”

Cant really figure out whats the problem.

Any ideas ?

This is some of my code.

if(empty($errors)){
                add_user($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']);
                $_SESSION['uid'] = fetch_user_id($_SESSION['username']);
                $_SESSION['username'] = htmlentities($_POST['username']);

                header("Location: profile.php?uid=" . $_SESSION['uid']);

                die(); 

And my function

//fetches profile information for the given user
function fetch_user_info($uid){
    $uid = (int)$uid;

        $sql = "SELECT
        `user_name` AS `username`,
        `user_email` AS `email`
    FROM `users`
    WHERE `user_id` = {$uid} ";

    $result = mysql_query($sql);

    return mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

}

You probably meant:

$_SESSION['uid'] = fetch_user_id($_POST['username']);

instead of:

$_SESSION['uid'] = fetch_user_id($_SESSION['username']);
