Dynamic redirect on successfull login

Question

ok i have got the normal priviledge login working great but
what i would like to do is this..
i am using mysql/php and running on a test server win xp
using the phpdev server setup from firepages all working perfectly.
User table consists of several rows but the main one in
question contains a field called start_page with a url in the form
of /subdirectory/urlname.php this is a subdirectory of the
directory holding the login page.
what i would like to do is using the login behaviour if
possible redirect the customer (2 types) or admin to their own
start page (contained in the start_page field in the database
record).
i have tried using the parameter settings in login behaviour
to dynamically set the url from the record set (record set contains
the username password and start_page) however this just throws up
an error in the code.
the reason i want to do this is to eliminate the need for 3
separate forms to login each user type (which would work as i have
it that way now) however i would prefer to process the one login
form with the behaviour and dynamically redirect to the correct
start_page based on the record value..
ps i am ok with adapting code to a certain extent but am in
the process of getting to grips with php (normal asp coder)
thanks for your help in advance. these forums are a goldmine

Answer 1

Sorry don't know PHP but in ASP I would add an 'access_group'
column in my db. On the login page I would then script the page to
allow username and password access to the start page and show items
depending on 'access_group' leve.
Perhaps something like:
<% If Session(""MM_UserAuthorisation") = "customer_type1"
Then %>
Redirect script or HTML to show appropriate information would
go here.
<% End If %>
Hope this is of some help. Forgive me it may not be the best
solution but along the lines of what I would try doing.
