PHP - Else If Login Page Trouble

hi

i need help an idea how can i separate members from admins
since i dont know how to create login form i used tutorial ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oSCuEtxRK8 )   (its session login form only that i made it work other tutorials wre too old or something)
how what i want to do is separate members and admins because admin need more rights to do
now i have idea but dont know will it work like that
what i want to do is create additional row in table named it flag and create 0 (inactive user) 1 (member) 2 (admin) will that work?
and how can i create different navigation bars for users and admins? do you recommend that i use different folders to create it or just script based on session and flag?

Can someoneplease help, I need to setup an error page like IF Username and Password are wrong then show an error also if there is no username or password in the fields and I just click LOGIN, I get a blank page?!

Can someone please help me here or point me to a relevant tutorial?

thanks

here is my page:
http://www.retroandvintage.co.uk/default.php

here is my  code:
Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
include_once("config.php");

$ebits = ini_get('error_reporting');
error_reporting($ebits ^ E_NOTICE);
/*
Login script:
This script does the following:

Checks that the user is NOT already logged in - if they are they
are redirected to the members page by the 'checkLoggedIn()' function.

Checks if the login form has been submitted - if so, the 'login' and
'password' fields are checked to ensure they are of the correct format and length.
If there are any problems here an error is added to the $messages array and
then the script executes the 'doIndex()' function - this function basically
outputs the main 'index' page for this script - ie the login form.

If there are no problems with the previous step, the 'login' and 'password'
field data is passed to the 'checkPass' function to check that an entry
exists in the 'users' table for that login/password pair.
If nothing is returned from the 'checkPass()' function, an error is
added to the $messages array and the 'doIndex()' function is called as above.

If a row of data is returned from the 'users' table, the data is passed to
the 'cleanMemberSession()' function - which initializes session variables and
logs the user in.  The user is then forwarded to the members page.

If the form hasn't yet been submitted, then the 'doIndex()' function is called
and the login page is displayed.

Hi,

I am a php newbie, who has a page that relies on some php scripts, and to which I am trying to add a login page written in php.  I took the example from he

http://www.howtodothings.com/computers-internet/how-to-make-a-login-system-for-your-website

Basically it consists of adding:

<?
require("log.php");
?>

to the top of any page I want to protect, a log.php file which performs the actions of the form, linking to a mySQL database, and a login.php file which contains the form.

I have the login working fine, but it breaks one of the PHP scripts on the page that is protected.  It is an upload script, called Weaverbox, based on FancyUpload.  The uploads which are handled by a file called upload.php, aren't happening.  The progress shows that they are being uploaded, but nothing is uploaded, and there is no success message.  As soon as I remove the code from the top of the page requiring log.php all works fine again.

I think I may have to add some rules/extensions to resolve this conflict, but I don't know how to go about this.  Would someone be able to help me get it sorted?

Thanks

Nick

ONE of my SESSION values isn't remaining after login while others do.

This works fine on my localhost, it's on the live site that there is a problem and it just started yesterday. Before that it worked great.

Out of the four SESSIONs made I can only echo three values on other pages, member id the most important doesn't transfered to other pages

Notes: all these files are in the same folder, there is a SESSION started for the member id on the login page, you can see that it is used in the redirect below and the redirect works fine with the redirect going to the correct page " $home/member/index.php?user=$id_mem "

Here is the login page
// Here's the basic login page info
<?php # login.php
session_start();
ob_start() 
...connect to db & header called...
...Form validation.....

if ($e && $p) { // If everything's OK.
// Query the database:
$q = "SELECT id_mem, display_name, mem_group FROM sn_members WHERE (email='$e' AND password=SHA1('$p')) AND active IS NULL";
$r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q) or trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc));
//  or die("Error: ".mysqli_error($dbc));

if (@mysqli_num_rows($r) == 1) { // If a match was made.

// Register the values & redirect:
// Give SELECTED elements a session
$_SESSION = mysqli_fetch_array ($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$_SESSION['agent'] = md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
mysqli_free_result($r);

// Update db for last login
$id_mem = $_SESSION['id_mem']; // <<< SESSION member id has a value here because it's used in the redirect below
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; // Get ip address of person logging in
$q = "UPDATE sn_members SET last_login = Now(), ip = '$ip' WHERE id_mem = '$id_mem' LIMIT 1";
$r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q) or trigger_error("Query: $q\n<br />MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error($dbc));

header("Location: $home/member/index.php?user=$id_mem");
exit(); // Quit the script.

}
?>


Here is the main page that a user would be redirect to above
<?php // /member/ all member info is through this folder
session_start();
ob_start();

if (isset($_GET['user']) && is_numeric($_GET['user'])) {
$user = $_GET['user'];
$user = $user;
if ($user < 0) {
header("Location: $home/index.php");
exit();
}
}

if ((!isset($_SESSION['id_mem']))  && (!isset($_SESSION['agent']) OR ($_SESSION['agent'] != md5($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])))){
// If not a logged in member redirect
header("Location: $home/index.php");
exit(); // Quit the script.
}
?>

Thanks in advance for the help

Hello, I am once again desperately asking for your help,

I am working on a simple login page and I am having trouble actually getting it  to login. I display error messages for if the user doesn't enter anything but I can't seem to get it to work for if the credentials are wrong. It logs the user in whether the information is right or not and i dont even know what to do now

 

This is the code any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
On my website I have a booking calendar which you login to with a username and password.  That interactive part of the website now looks very different from the rest of the website, but unfortunately it's not possible to recode that calendar to look like the rest of the site.

As a workaround I'd like users to be able to login to that calendar from the home page, with just a simple username and password field at the top of the page.  On submit this would then send the details to the existing login page, and also log them in straight away.  My php knowledge is limited.  I've searched a lot on Google but can't find any code that seems to do the trick.  Does anyone know if this is even possible?

thanks in advance

I need help trying to figure out why my form won't write the database it is supposed to - i checked the connection to the database and it works and the user seems to have permission to edit database - the error I get is "Error: User not added to database." from "register.php". Can someone please look over my code and see if the problem is coming from somewhere within?   I created a connection file (connect.php)

<?
session_start();
// Replace the variable values below
// with your specific database information.
$host = "localhost";
$user = "master";
$pass = "hidden";
$db   = "user";
// This part sets up the connection to the 
// database (so you don't need to reopen the connection
// again on the same page).
$ms = mysql_pconnect($host, $user, $pass);
if ( !$ms )
{
echo "Error connecting to database.\n";
}
// Then you need to make sure the database you want
// is selected.
mysql_select_db($db);
?>

Then there is the php script (register.php):

<?php
session_start();
// connect.php is a file that contains your
// database connection information. This
// tutorial assumes a connection is made from
// this existing file.
	require('connect.php');
    // If the values are posted, insert them into the database.
    if (isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['password'])){
        $firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
        $lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
		$email = $_POST['email'];
        $password = $_POST['password'];
 
        $query = "INSERT INTO `member` (firstname, lastname, email, password) VALUES ('$firstname', '$lastname', '$email' '$password')";
        $result = mysql_query($query);
        if ( !mysql_insert_id() )
  {
  die("Error: User not added to database.");
  }
 else
  {
  // Redirect to thank you page.
  Header("Location: surveylanding_no-sidebar.html");
  }
    }
    ?>

Here is the HTML form:

<form name="htmlform" method="post" class="form" action="register.php"> 
   
    <p class="firstname"> 
        <input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" /> 
        <label for="firstname">First Name</label> 
    </p> 
     
    <p class="lastname"> 
        <input type="text" name="lastname" id="lastname" /> 
        <label for="lastname">Last Name</label> 
    </p> 
     
    <p class="email"> 
        <input type="email" name="email" id="email" /> 
        <label for="email">Email</label>
    </p> 
     <p class="Password"> 
        <input type="password" name="password" id="password" /> 
        <label for="password">Password</label> 
    </p> 
       
    <p class="submit"> 
        <input type="submit" value="Register"/> 
    </p> 
   
</form>

Hi

I want to make a simple login system which goes like this:

a) the 1st page (login_form.php) will check if you are logged or not and give you the login form (username - password)
b) when you submit a 2nd page (login_check) will check if you really typed anything . If it finds that the texts are null it will return you to the 1st page (without you pressing anything) and give you the form again with a error message written say above. Else it checks the mysql database.(on another page i think)

i find it difficult to navigate through the pages cause header gives me error (headers allready sent) and meta tag doesnt keep the $_POST values. (for example the error meassage)

Please help

Sorry for my English it's not my native.

I'm completely new to programming in PHP so I looked up a tutorial on youtube, came across the phpacademy tutorial for making a login page script.  I followed everything as mentioned in the video but for some reason, I can login without a username or password entered and on top of that it's not displaying any of the messages I added in the code.  I'm using Xampp for my Apache server and MySQL, configured everything I should of (as far as I know) but it still refuses to work.

Here's the html for the login page, just a basic form.

Code: [Select]
<html>

<form action='login.php' method='POST'>
Username: <input type='text' name='username'><br>
Password: <input type='password' name='password'><br>
<input type='submit' value='Log in'>

</html>

And then we have the PHP code which isn't working AT ALL.  It's like it's not reading it at all for some reason and I can't figure out why.

Code: [Select]
<?php

$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die("Couldn't connect!");
  mysql_select_db("phplogin") or die("Couldn't find DB");

$connection =@ mysql_connect($db['server'], $db['user'], $db['password']) or die (include_once("offline.php"));
$db =@ mysql_select_db($db['database']) or die (include_once("offline.php"));


if($_POST['username'] && $_POST['password']){
  
  $username = trim($_POST['username']);
  $password = trim($_POST['password']);

  
  $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '$username' AND `password` = '$password'");
  
  $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
  
  if ($numrows > 0){
  
   echo "Username & Password correct (Logged in)";
   
  } else {
    echo "That user doesn't exist";
  }
} else {
 echo "Please enter a username and password!";
} 
?>
One thing I should mention is that, if I try to login on firefox it shows part of my php code as text, if I open it on Opera it displays the whole php code as text.  Any ideas? -.-'

My main pages looks like this...

<?php
include "header.php";

CONTENT

include "footer.php";
?>

On the header will be my login script so on every page the script will be there so they can log in from anywhere on the site. Also, I want it all done on one page instead of being directed somewhere else. This is the code below.

<?php
session_start();

$message = ""; //error message needs to be blank
$loginstatus = ""; //error message needs to be blank

//if $_POST "username" and "password" exist, check for consistency.
if (isset($_POST['username'])&&($_POST['password']))
{
include 'connect.php'; //connect
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']); //set variables from session
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']); //set variables from session

//remove slashes and HTML
$username = stripslashes($username);
$password = stripslashes($password);
$username = strip_tags($username);
$password = strip_tags($password);

$password = md5($password); //md5 encryption

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'"); //checking if row exists that has $username and $password together.
$num = mysql_num_rows($query); //number of rows. if not equal to one login will fail.

if($num==1)
{
$_SESSION['username'] = $username; //store session data
$message = "$username, you are logged in!";
}
else
{
$message = "<font color='red'>Wrong Username or Password. Please try again.</font>";
}
}

//if $_SESSION "username" and "password" exist, check for consistency.
if (isset($_SESSION['username']))
{
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$loginstatus = "
<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
<tr>
<td align='right'><b>$message</b> <a href='logout.php'>[logout]</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
";
}
else
{
$loginstatus = "
<b>$message</b>
<table cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
<form action='CURRENTPAGE.php' method='post'>
<tr>
<td><b>Username: </td>
<td><input type='text' name='username' class='inputbox'></td>
<td>   <b>Password: </td>
<td><input type='password' name='password' class='inputbox'></td>
<td>   <input type='submit' value='Log In' class='submitbutton'></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
";
}

echo $loginstatus;

?>

I have two questions...

#1 How can I direct my page when entering the password to the current page the user is on? (look at CURRENTPAGE.php in the code for reference)

#2 Security is obviously an issue at all times. How does my security look? What can I do to make this login script more secure?

Thanks so much for all of those who help out. I'll be watching this forum all day everyday.

i have downloaded a basic php site from "http://www.basiclogin.com/"
when i deploy it i get a lot of errors...
