Ajax :: Automatic Session Timeout/logout Using Php?
Oct 15, 2011
iam developing online quiz contest project in php (mysql,javascript,ajax) i need Automatic session timeout/logout and also i need time counter display using php and AJAX.
I am developer in .NET but I need to access session object in client side and redirect the page to login. i am using the following code snippet but I am unable to achieve the target.
Now, I am having one problem with the .ajax() function. My problem is, the timeout value seems to be completely ignored. [code]...
The idea is that when the underlying hardware is restarted (this is a control page for a device), we should time out very quickly, rather than locking the browser. I have stepped though with a debugger, and the 250ms value is definitely being inserted when the reboot command is issued. Any idea why this is not working?
I have what I think is a simple $.ajax() call.I added complete and error functions but a time out in firefox 3.5.2 doesn't cause the error function to be called and when the complete function is called both parameters are undefined.If I make the ajax call return a http 500 response the error function is called.[code]Running on FF 3.5.2, JQuery 1.6.2 on XP Pro.
I'm developing a jquery web application. On start the user gets a login screen to sign in (verification and session checking is done by php). After login the user gets the application screen where most of the server communication is done by ajax (json). If there was no ajax communication for a long time (timeout), the server (php) sends a session timout (something like error=timeout) and wants the user to sign in again. Now comes the tricky part:I want to show a window where the user enters the login information. Now the application should send these information to the login.php and after acknowledgment, the last ajax request should be sent again.Is there a possibility to send an ajax request again with same settings?
I've noticed this weird behaviour of jQuery in Safari and Chrome (didn't test on Firefox as I'm using some webkit CSS extensions). After setting up the call like this:
If a timeout occurs (I switch the local webserver off), the 'success' method will be called! More than this in the textStatus parameter there is a string with "success" !!! The error handler doesn't even get called.... (As you may notice the only way I had to tell the problem, was to check the data param if it is null or 0 length. How can I avoid this?
I am having difficulty on maintaining session when using ajax.
I first load a page with a session genterated. But since AJAX is a client side activity where I sent an AJAX request to an url without any session info. Of course, the server will create a new session. Even though I can write the session id into the first page where I made ajax calls, it is not a secure way...
I'm writing a script, part of which calls an AJAX request to populate a table. This script runs when the page is first loaded and when different buttons are clicked on the page (I won't go into the details here). It works just fine when the page is first loaded, but whenever the function is called from any other event on the page (onclick, etc) it performs the function, but then proceeds to reload the whole page!
I've spent a long time debugging and trying to figure out exactly where the trouble is starting, and the only thing I can think is that some sort of "reload page" command is being sent to the browser somewhere that I'm not seeing. In Firefox, after the request is complete and the response data is written to the page, the page reloads. However, in Safari, the page reloads after the readyState is 1, so the request hasn't even been sent yet.
Here is the offending function:
Javascript Code:
function fillLogTable(date, org, poc, name) { document.getElementById("visitLogTableDiv").innerHTML = "<br />Loading..."; //fetch the logs
Let me give a brief first. When someone logs in my application with correct username and password, I set a session attribute, say "user" with his username.
When he logs out, I invalidate the session and remove the attribute "user". In each of the protected pages, I check for the session attribute "user". If it exists, I proceed, else I rdirect to login page. Btw, I am also using frames when the user logs in.
Everything is working as I want it to. Except one thing! After the user
logs out and then goes back using "back" button of the browser, the page displayed says that he has been logged out and needs to login again. But if he refreshes the page (after going "Back"), the page reloads with correct information, as if he is already logged in.
What do I do to prevent this?
I am fairly new to JSP. So, maybe I am missing out on something....
My state has a web site that can be used for online filing for unemployment benefits. Every week I have to go to the site and fill in a form, checking off the same boxes each time. I'd like to automate this.
I need to load the URL for the login page into the browser, fill in my username and password, and submit the form. From that page I need to follow a link to file for benefits. There I need to fill in the form by checking a few boxes and submit the form. This brings up another form where I have to confirm the entries. Then finally I can select the Logout link.
How would I go about automating that with Javascript? I don't need someone to write the whole thing, just provide the basic processes. I had a similar question a few weeks ago, when I was trying to create a bookmarklet to open my web banking page and prefill the account number, but I was never able to solve it (I'm making do with two bookmarks -- a regular one to open the page, and a bookmarklet to fill in the account# field once the page is loaded). This makes me think that my plan for the unemployment page won't work either, but there's no harm in asking.
i wanna make a confirmation alert box (jquery i suppose) then when triggers when someone click log out. on cancel it stays there but on ok it destory the session and cookies and logout.
In the new versions of Vbulletin, they have it so that when you press logout, the screen sort of dims into a greyish color as it also does when you try to shut down Windows XP.
i like to know the java script that used in logout link of the sitepoint site as i know its a java script which works when the user click on the logout link(onclick function)can u explain how the window colour change when the logout link work,do we need to chage the whole page or is it a one line command,enyone explain,i want to use this kind of a thing in my asp pages.
To make my system's admin page safer maybe I should apply <body onunload=""> somehow so that admin session would be reseted immediately after user closes the window?
But how to check easily that unloading refers only to windowclosing, not to following links to other admin subpages?
i have a "customer login" link in my header for customers to login(obviously), when they login i want the link to change to "logout", any ideas on how to do this as i don't have a clue.
not good at javascript at all.
the link to my website is [URL]
test login info if required: user: test@nandahosting.co.uk password: password
I have used the aforementioned code to validate logout function from my webpage. However, I want to redirect the user to another page (for ex: loginpage) on loggingout.
I have seen this done on vBulletin.. when a user clicks the logout button the site turns grey and they are asked "Are you sure you want to log out?"... How is this effect achieved?
Which javascript event should be used to call logout on window close and url change. I want to call logout function on window close and URL change on my application.
I am calling logout functionon on <body onunload="doLogout();">, but onunload event is also called when refreshing the page. is there any specific event for Windoe close and URL change.
I use an HttpRequest in my web application to launch an heavy computation server side. The result is then send back to the browser. The problem I got is that when the computation took too much time, then I never get the result. I have to reload the page to get it.
I assume it's because my socket connection has time out, but my event listener does not seems to get any event. Maybe I miss something:
function xmlhttpChange() { // looking fo a xmlhttp "loaded" for (var i in nodeId2xmlHttp) { if ((nodeId2xmlHttp[i] != null) && nodeId2xmlHttp[i].readyState == 4) { if (nodeId2xmlHttp[i].status==200) { nodeId2xmlHttp[i] = null; } else { alert("Problem retrieving XML data (nodeId: " + i + ")"); nodeId2xmlHttp[i] = null; } } } }
My question is : how to handle XMLHttpRequest timeout. Any pointers?
