Login with nickname using the Get command

[wattaman]

Hi!
I'm not such a good coder so I'll skip to the example without writing too much. I have this in my index.php file:
<?php
// $user = $_GET['nick'];
$params["nick"] = $_GET['nick']; // setup the intitial nickname
require_once dirname(__FILE__)."/src/phpfreechat.class.php";
$params = array();
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$params["frozen_nick"] = true; // do not allow to change the nickname
$params["shownotice"] = 3; // 0 = nothing, 1 = just nickname changes, 2 = connect/quit, 3 = nick + connect/quit
$params["max_nick_len"] = 20; // nickname length could not be longer than 10 caracteres
$params["max_text_len"] = 200; // a message cannot be longer than 50 caracteres
$params["max_channels"] = 3; // limit the number of joined channels tab to 3
$params["max_privmsg"] = 1; // limit the number of private message tab to 1
$params["refresh_delay"] = 5000; // chat refresh speed is 10 secondes (10000ms)
$params["max_msg"] = 15; // max message in the history is 15 (message seen when reloading the chat)
$params["height"] = "230px"; // height of chat area is 230px
$params["debug"] = false; // activate debug console
$params["connect_at_startup"] = true;
$params["start_minimized"] = false;
$params["nickmarker"] = true;
$params["clock"] = false;

... and I'm trying to login automatically using links like this: chat/index.php?nick=my-chosen-nickname
Well, it doesn't works, the first nickname remains and it doesn't matter what I replace my-chosen-nickname, it will log me with the same my-chosen-nickname nickname. I've also tried to set the frozen_nick to false but doesn't do what I want.
So, how can I do this?
Thanks!

Hi there,

Supper global array GET doesn't work well with this chat script, you need to set what ever GET string o a page before put it on a session then redirect it to the index.php..

regards..

so, what exactly needs to contain the file with the GET command?
Thanks!

Basically the file will look at what's in the GET, "scrub" it (that is, get rid of bad characters and the like), and set it into a session variable. Then it will forward to the actual chat, which will require that session variable, and use it.

[wattaman]

Can somebody please make these two files? I have no idea how to.
Thank you!

I'm afraid I can't. Maybe someone else will.

Also, the report feature of this forum is not for personal requests... it's to report violations to the forum rules.

Well, thanks for the suggestions, anyway.
I don't know what you mean with the report feature, I didn't report anyone, as far as I know... maybe I clicked something by mistake !?! Sorry.

You clicked report below a post and asked me to write the pages for you.

Sorry, it was a mistake; haven't even noticed. Probably I wanted to quote.
