Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/789

Hello
I want that multiple users can use the same php page at the same time. But User-1 can connect to Rootpath-1, and at the same time User-2 can connect to another Rootpath-2. at the same time . Is that possible? If yes how? I'm new in php, so i couldn't find a solution yet. Would be happy if someone can help.

$auth_users = array(
    'user1' => '...',
    'user2' => '...'
);

$directories_users = array('user1' => 'folder-1', 'user2' => 'folder-2');

Thanks for the answer. Two additional questions:

How should we define the general $root_path variable in this case? Should we comment it out? (because each user will have its own root path.??)
In my usecase each user will connect to a different production machines shared folder (user1 --> //10.92.114.73/E$, user2 -->//10.92.114.75 ...,.)
In order to connect to this remote network paths, I am using the 'net use' command (for User1):
exec('net use "'.$root_path_user1.'" /user:"'.$user_M.'" "'.$password_M.'" /persistent:no');
opendir($root_path_user1);

If I have for each user another $root_path_userX, then I have to query the logged in username and connect then to the related $root_path_userX. How can I query the user that is logged on? Accordingly I want to write:

switch ($logged_user) {
case user1:
$root_path=$root_path_user1
break;
case user2:
$root_path=$root_path_user2
break;
case user3:
$root_path=$root_path_user3
break;
...
exec('net use "'.$root_path.'" /user:"'.$user_M.'" "'.$password_M.'" /persistent:no');
opendir($root_path);
}
