PHP - Scanning General Text - User Inputs - For Bad Coding.

Hi,

I built this reg-login file.

Note, login.php asks for your login details. The webform (so to speak) uses SELECT sql query to check your login credentials.

The reg.php asks for your new acc details. The webform (so to speak) uses INSERT sql query to add your details to db.

I got my webform not displayed to you either as registration form or login form. It is a neutral form. It justs asks you for your email.

Then checks against db. If it exists, it assumes you existing member and login() function takes over and logs you in. Else, registration() functions takes over and registers you.

Note:

On the login(), at the end when user is logged into his member account, his personal details get displayed on screen.
I need you to check if this following line (especially) is correct or not:

if($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result_3,MYSQLI_ASSOC))

1. I want you to see if there any errors in my code that will result in malfunction or hacker sql injecting or hacking.

2. I need you to show me how to VALIDATE user input. VALIDATE email using 1). html5 & 2). php 7 email validation function plus 3.) with REGEX so nothing but email is inputted. Show me these 3 ways to check for email.

I need you to show me how to VALIDATE user password. VALIDATE password using 1). html5 & 2). php 7 & 3.) with REGEX so nothing but password (A-Z, 0-9 ONLY) is inputted. And no other chars. Show me these 3 ways to check for password.

From there,  I should pick on fast from you and manage to VALIDATE username input.

I don't know how to do these above 2 so kindly teach me by showing snippet with comments so i understand your snippet.

NOTE:

I did not complete the password prompt because I have forgotten how to do it with SHA256. Can someone show me a typical example how to query for password with SHA256 or whatever the latest strong algorithm is ? Show me code with comments so I understand what you doing with your code.
I will the modify your snippet a little to suit my purpose and add it on the login().
I know I need to add the password prompt on the registration() too but you don't have to deal with that as I will complete it once I finish learning from you. You just teach me how to do it in the login() and from there I will take it on to add it on the registration().

Thank You!
