Adding a Logon message to pages - session

I'm looking to create a log in feature every time users go to various members only pages, which returns them to the original page after logging in. I've seen various answers to this question but none of them seem to include a check feature followed by a return to the original page. At the moment the code I have created doesn't seem to recognize that I have logged in and keeps returning me to the log in form. Any answers will be greatly appreciated. I realize I am using deprecated code but that is the only version my host provider's servers recognize.
Here's the code I am putting at the top of each members page
<?php
session_start();
if($_SESSION['login'] != "yes" )
{
header("Location: main_login.php");
exit();
}
?>
This then opens the main_login.php page
<table width="300" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">
<tr>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="checklogin.php">
<td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><strong>Member Login </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="78">Username</td>
<td width="6">:</td>
<td width="294"><input name="myusername" type="text" id="myusername"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Password</td>
<td>:</td>
<td><input name="mypassword" type="password" id="mypassword"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</form>
</tr>
</table>
On clicking the login button the following code in checklogin.php checks the entries
<?php
$host='.....'; // Host name
$username='.....'; // Mysql username
$password='........'; // Mysql password
$db_name='....'; // Database name
$tbl_name='......'; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// username and password sent from form
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_start();
$_SESSION['myusername'];
$_SESSION['mypassword'];
header("location:entry_form_european_languages.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
?>
The last header location refers to the page I would like to return to, which seems to the repeat the process of opening up the login and check in files- as if to indicate that the return page doesn't recognize that the log in was successful.
I would need to add something that was relative to each page, but since I don't know where I am going wrong with the fixed page return, I can't move on to that stage of coding.
I did have an alternative header address which took it to the following page login_success.php which gave the impression that username entries had been accepted, but this doesn't allow me to return to the original page
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION[$myusername])){
header("Location:entry_form_european_languages.php");
}
?>
<?php
include '........';//Formatting for the page
?>
<html>
<body>
Login Successful
</body>
</html>
Thanks in advance.

There are a few extra things I needed to add to make the session details work, as follows. This code needs to go ahead of any other code on the page including any html code that relates to character formatting. Although I have coded it out the error reporting line is handy for indicating which line is not being read by the php server, should you have continued problems.
<?php
//error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
session_start();
ob_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['myusername'])){
header('Location:main_login.php');
}
else if (isset($_SESSION['myusername'])){
}
$myusername=$_SESSION['myusername'];
$Page_Title ='Members Profile';
?>

Request tracker REST API: Web Interface to Create New Tickets

I previously had a custom form that users could fill out to place work orders, and once they hit submit, it would create a new ticket with all the information and add it to one of the RT queues.
We previously used Mason to do this, but now we've moved to WordPress and would like to redo this in a cleaner way using PHP.
I read through the API documentation and reviewed this thread along with many others posted on Stack Overflow. I know how to connect to RT and create new tickets via command line and cURL, but I can't seem to figure out how to do so using the web interface on submit. I would really appreciate if someone could give me some pointers on where to start.
Thanks
Edit:
Thank you for the response. Below is the form I've made which interacts with a our SQL database to pull some information and I need it to create a new ticket with all the information on submit. Should I create a new php file similar to [this][2] and include it as a form action?

Edit 2:
Thanks. Using the documentation and code from this repo I created a new file called new_ticket.php with the following content:
<?php
if($_POST['action'] == 'call_this') {
require_once 'RequestTracker.php';
$url = "www.test.com/rt/REST/1.0/";
$user = "user";
$pass = "password";
$rt = new RequestTracker($url, $user, $pass);
$content = array(
'Queue'=>'9',
'Requestor'=>'test#example.com',
'Subject'=>'Lorem Ipsum',
'Text'=>'dolor sit amet'
);
$response = $rt->createTicket($content);
print_r($response);
}
?>
I also made of copy of RequestTracker.php from the same Github repo.
In the file where the form is located, I added the following script and added create_ticket() as an action to the onclick property of submit button. But this doesn't seem to be working. I tried logging something to the console to see how far the code gets, the create_ticket() function is being called properly but anything that comes after $.ajax({ ... above will not appear to the console. I also tried putting some console logs in my new_ticket.php file but that doesn't log anything either, so what am I doing wrong?
<script>
function create_ticket() {
$.ajax({
url:"new_ticket.php", //the page containing php script
type: "POST", //request type
data:{action:'call_this'},
success:function(result){
alert(result);
}
});
}
</script>
PS: I'm using ajax because I need to run the PHP code onclick and this can't be done directly as it would in Javascript.
Probably the easiest approach is to look at the PHP examples in the REST documentation on the Request Tracker wiki. You don't mention the version of RT you are using, but the REST interface has been stable so this should work with most versions.

Joomla - pagination bar not showing up

I'm trying to get pagination working in my joompla component admin page (table of records from database).
I'm using the standard method found on the net, so in my view class I have:
function display($tmpl=NULL)
{
$this->tabela = $this->get('Items');
$this->pagination = $this->get('Pagination');
$this->state = $this->get('State');
...
and then in my default template for this view:
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td colspan="7" >
<?php echo $this->pagination->getListFooter(); ?>
</td>
</tr>
but the pagination is not showing up. In the place where it should occur I can only see this (in website's HTML):
<div class="pagination pagination-toolbar">
<input type="hidden" name="limitstart" value="0">
</div>
How can I get this pagination work?

Simple laravel 5 pagination links

In my controller I'm displaying records in a table in my View.
Controller:
$promotion = Promotions::paginate(5);
View:
<tr>
<th>Order</th>
<th>Infomation</th>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Cost</th>
<th>From</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody align="center">
<?php $i = 0;?>
#foreach ( $promotion as $promo)
<?php $i++;?>
<tr>
<td data-title="Order">{{$i}}</td>
<td data-title="Infomation">{{$promo['name']}}</td>
<td data-title="Date">29/10/57</td>
<td data-title="Cost">1.99$</td>
<td data-title="From">K-Bank</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
</tbody>
It works properly when I locate manually to exampleurl/mypage?page=2
All seems well. However, I wanted to create two text buttons to go back and fourth between pages.
How can I set these to navigate the pagination back and fourth:
Previous
Next
EDIT: I don't understand why I'm getting downvoted for this question. No where can I find a tutorial on how to split the back and fourth buttons. How professional can your website be if you're restricted to placing the page links to one spot on the page? seriously...
In Laravel 5 there is a single configuration option for Eloquent models to generate pagination. So, you can use the method:
<?php echo $promotion->render(); ?>
If you want an option only with Previous and Next buttons, you need to use
$promotion = Promotions::simplePaginate(5);
Instead of
$promotion = Promotions::paginate(5);

Adding product description , product image etc in custom Transactional Email for New order

I have created a new custom template using the New order default template in my Magento admin panel.
There are some default variables available to be inserted into the email. But I want to add some other variables like product description into the email template.
In my email after order creation , I want to send description and other details of all products that are present in my cart.
What I have in template is :
<table bgcolor="#FFFFFF" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" width="650" style="border:1px solid #E0E0E0;">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<img src="xyz.jpg"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<?php
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId("{{var order.increment_id}}");
$items = $order->getAllVisibleItems();
foreach($items as $i):
echo $i->getProductId();
echo $i->getDescription();
echo $i->getDescription();
endforeach;
?>
</td>
</tr>
I want to achieve something like this. Is it possible adding PHP code into the email template and get the variables working. Or I have to define this php code somewhere else? If yes, can you please specify where to make these changes?
Thanks
I dont think u need to load product object in email template it is already loaded if not u can do that but sure u dont need sales order object that sure.
app\design\frontend\default\imsov2\template\email\order\items\order\default.phtml
<?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_item->getDescription()) ?>
and so on...

Firefox displays 3 columns in a table, IE8 only 2

Would love some help here... Firefox displays the last column in the table (an image they click on to edit their email address, it's a link), and IE8 displays nothing for the last column (doesn't even appear to display a column!) I've left out other rows in the table, but similar stuff happens.
Anyone know why?
<table class="profile-display">
<tr>
<td style="text-align: right; color: red;"> Email address: </td>
<td class="profile-content"> <?php echo("$evar"); ?> </td>
<td> <a href="profile_change.php?edit=13"
<img src="../images/writegreen.png" class="profile-edit" alt="Edit"
title="Edit Email Address"
border="0" />
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Your <a> tag is missing its >. That will cause a browser to not recognize the end of the tag until the first > it sees, which is the end of the img tag. Frankly, I'm surprised that Firefox shows the img.
Edit: Other common causes of this problem are missing quotes and misspelled tags.
