AJAX Login - Session Problem

Question

I have created a working login script using AJAX and PHP, but my problem is - it makes me login twice before it can remember a session. Initially it uses js response to update the contents but if I refresh the page, everything turns back to its previous state. When I login for the second time and refresh the page, it's the only time it will work. Why is this happening?

Answer 1

Its because you're not logged in while you connect to login.php but after you send the request you are. I suggest a js refresh after the http request sends back that you are logged in. See if that works, for exampe, if it returns 1, that means that the login data was correct and the page will refresh and you are logged in. If it returns 0, display a message that the login data was not correct. I don't know if it works but i assume.
