The scripts in the two link groups below are Customer Apps for Dealing with Product Keys and Email Addresses, and Administrator Apps for Dealing with Customer Records.

In our ecommerce world, products are sold by many different methods. Amongst these are getting out demos in various ways and when people try them, some of them are very pleased and they buy what's called a key. This unlocks the full feature set of the product when they enter it. There is a need to give the product users limited access to perform a few functions such as changing their emails, retrieving their keys from our database when they misplace them, etc. There is also a need for administrative functions to manage customer records. One needs to sort them, edit them, delete them, add them, view them, search them, register to be an administrator, login as administrator, etc.

If an ecommerce company does not have any of the applications below, it is forced to perform them the 20th century ways—by hand. This means paying for people to answer phones, write emails, keep paper files of customers, etc. The 21st century way is to let software perform these tasks, let websites and videos explain the product features, and let ecommerce close the sale and send the product.

Feel free to use these free Customer Records Management scripts in your business. Note: we know they work well for us (they are well tested), but we assume no liability for how they work in your situation. Similarly, we added lots of security measures such as extensive input filtering, but we make no claims and assume no liability for how securely they work in your situation.

The best security measure to take when using the administrative part of a system like this (meaning the Administrator Apps for Dealing with Customer Records in which category the script below resides, not the Customer Apps for Dealing with Product Keys and Email Addresses) is do not have any links ANYWHERE that link to the URLs of any of the admin files on the server, so neither hackers nor Google finds them. Then use the admin CMS yourself but do not even let your momma use it. Don't even save the link to the admin login as a Favorite, just to be secure. Just stick the login username and password in Roboform and make them impossible to guess. Then use Roboform to logon. The Customer Apps are included online and linked to as part of the product web pages that make life easier for everyone. Their security is mainly handled via extreme input filtering. The Admin Apps like the one below are hidden, unlinked to, and well protected with security measures, password hashes and salts, etc.

This script is called checkid-in-customer-records-management.php

The script checkid-in-customer-records-management.php starts up a session with session_start(), then it checks session id, which it merely checks out to ensure that the administrator using the script started a session in the login script and defined the proper session variables. The id checking is done via seeing if the session variable $_SESSION['sessionid'] is set or not. If it is not, the administrator is sent to Register with Captcha to Administer Customer Records PHP Script, but first session variables are unset, and the session is destroyed.

The PHP script below gives the administrator a chance to start a session and check the session id, after which the administrator is either allowed to continue or he is dumped into the registration script.

The script begins with checking that the session id is set, sending users to register-with-captcha-for-customer-records-management.php from this checkid-in-customer-records-management.php script if it is not, but not before unsetting session variables and destroying the session. But if it is set, he is allowed to continue back in the script which included this id checking script. That's the
}else{ that leads to the comment, below.

This script is called checkid-in-customer-records-management.php

<?php

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['sessionid'])){

session_unset();
session_destroy();

header('location: register-with-captcha-for-customer-records-management.php');

}else{
// session logged
}
?>
