Login, logout, login, logout ...

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Hello all,

I guess this must be a PHP related question but since I have lacks … ;)

ok so I’m trying to log a user then log him/her out then login another user and then logout again …

But it seems like my second attempt to logout the newly logged user fails

here is the code which should print 1111 but only prints 111 (it is code that I am actually using in unit tests but the results are the same)


 $currentUser = Yii::app()->user;

		

		$identity = new UserIdentity('admin','admin');

		if($identity->authenticate())

			$currentUser->login($identity);

		

		// user should be logged in

		echo !$currentUser->isGuest;

		

		$currentUser->logout();

		

		// user should be logged out

		echo $currentUser->isGuest;

		

		$identity = new UserIdentity('d.moity@km.fr','moity');

		if($identity->authenticate())

			$currentUser->login($identity);

		

		// user should be logged in

		echo !$currentUser->isGuest;

		

		$currentUser->logout();


		// user should be logged out

		echo $currentUser->isGuest;

I have debugged so far that I know that the second time I try to logout my SEssion variables are not destroyed, I figure this has to do with the session id or something but I admit I need help :)

Thanks if anyone can provide it

You should checkout the book Agile Web Application Development with Yii 1.1 and PHP5 which talks about a good way to implement the Yii framework with a User database.

I think a quick fix would be to UNSET your session vars b4 logging them in again maybe… check out the php.net site for the use on that

Thank you Joshua,

I actually have the book

as for unsetting Session vars : this is what logout() does (unset and destroy session)

and so the first time session vars are removed but not on the second logout attempt

I will try to replicate this outside of Yii to see what happens
