Login system using txt file throws error: localhost redirected you too many times
I've got a php login system on my website that I'm developing offline using XAMPP. Every time I try to use the login system I keep getting this error:
localhost redirected you too many times.
I've tried checking around but can't find any help.
Here's my code in index.php:
<?php
session_start();
$userKey = $_POST['userKeySubmitted'];
$keylist = file('priv/keys.txt');
$success = false;
foreach ($keylist as $key) {
$user_details = explode('|', $user);
if ($user_details[0] == $userKey) {
$success = true;
if ($success) {
header('Location: user.php');
$_SESSION['userKey'] = $userKey;
break;
} else {
break;
}
}
}
?>
....
<form method="post" action="index.php">
<input type="text" name="userKeySubmitted" class="form-control" placeholder="XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX">
<br>
<button type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-info btn-fill pull-right">Login</button>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</form>
In user.php:
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['userKey'])) {
$key = $_SESSION['userKey'];
echo "<h1>Welcome</h1>";
} else {
header('Location: index.php');
die();
}
?>
php html login

You're redirecting before you set the session value:
header('Location: user.php');
$_SESSION['userKey'] = $userKey;
Then you check for the value and, if it's not there, redirect back:
if (isset($_SESSION['userKey'])){
//...
}
else {
header('Location: index.php');
die();
}
Since it wasn't set, this redirects back. This continues in an infinite loop between the two pages.
Set the value before redirecting:
$_SESSION['userKey'] = $userKey;
header('Location: user.php');
