  User login information not correct

  User menu of Sytem Administration of ATutor 1.5.5 doesn't appear to display correct information (I login never every day but the system reported that I "Never" login).
  The user login information is very useful in monitoring our users. Please help.
  
  operating system -CentOS : Linux 2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp
  version of ATutor -1.5.5
  versions of php -4.3.9
  version of mysq l -4.1.20
  webserver & version - Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS)
  copies of error messages -
  changes to default settings -
  web browser being used -IE6
  and anything else relevant -the system has ATutor 1.5.4 running also.

  Actually, after taking a second look, all the users listed in the image are instructors. Instructors are not tracked. Last login only works for students.

  Why, it works for instructors as well. At the admin's demo server it functions too.
  
  
  [b]sunee[/b], I know you have people with a good knowledge in PHP/MySQL (or maybe you know that too). And I see you have changed the login page substantially. So it's logical you should suspect a bug there: some wrong condition, unset variable, or a reassigned one.
  
  Check the field `last_login` in table `AT_members` -- it should contain some info. If it is empty, than the reason must be in file /login.php.
  
  In that file, a line responsible for the feature reads:
  
  $sql = "UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."members SET creation_date=creation_date, last_login=NOW() WHERE member_id=$_SESSION[member_id]";
  
  Something may prevent the execution to reach this point.

  Re: User login information not correct

  Thank you for your response.
  IndieRect was right, I just found out myself yesterday that we have changed the login code to be able to use our University login and password by authentication with LDAP (database for our e-mail system) so that users can have only single signed on for all our SWU Inofrmation System including ATutor (we have been using this feature over 2 years but I didn't realize the problem becuase only recently that I have to take care the system as the "adminsitrator" and play around with many features -- it is great)
