PHP - Need Help With Login/user Registration System Please.
I'm trying to make a simple but secure login/user registration for this site I'm building. I'm new to php, so I followed some tutorials from www.newthinktank.com.
http://www.newthinktank.com/2011/01/php-security-pt-2/ http://www.newthinktank.com/2011/01/php-security-pt-4-set-up-captcha// http://www.newthinktank.com/2011/01/web-design-and-programming-pt-21-secure-login-script/ But I'm having a couple of problems. On the registration.php file, whenever I type in wrong information, the validation error messages don't display and also whenever I click the submit button, the form doesn't do anything. It doesn't insert information into my database. It just shows the empty form. On my login.php file, again the validation errors don't display and I can't tell if I'm logged in or not. The form redirects to my index page, but the user box that shows the different menus depending on whether or not someone is logged in stays in guest mode. I don't get any php error messages on either file. Here's my code: register.php file: Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled</title> <link href="_css/page_layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="_css/page_text.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="_css/sidebarLeft.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <?php include('_includes/template/header.php'); ?> <?php include('_includes/template/nav.php'); ?> <?php include('_includes/template/sidebar_left.php'); ?> <div id="mainContent"> <div class="content"> <?php require_once('_includes/connectvars.php'); if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) { if (preg_match ('%^[A-Za-z\.\' \-]{2,20}$%', stripslashes(trim($_POST['first_name'])))) { $firstname = escape_data($_POST['first_name']); } else { $firstname = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>Please enter a valid first name!</font></p>'; } if (preg_match ('%^[A-Za-z\.\' \-]{2,40}$%', stripslashes(trim($_POST['last_name'])))) { $lastname = escape_data($_POST['last_name']); } else { $lastname = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>Please enter a valid last name!</font></p>'; } if (preg_match ('%^(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[-/. ](0?[1-9]|1[0-2])[-/.](19|20)\d{2}$%', stripslashes(trim($_POST['birth_date'])))) { $birthdate = escape_data($_POST['birth_date']); } else { $birthdate = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>Please enter a valid date of birth!</font></p>'; } $gender = escape_data($_POST['gender']); if (preg_match ('%^[0-9]{5}$%', stripslashes(trim($_POST['zip_code'])))) { $zipcode = escape_data($_POST['zip_code']); } else { $zipcode = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>Please enter a valid 5 digit zip code!</font></p>'; } if (preg_match ('%^[A-Za-z0-9._\%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$%', stripslashes(trim($_POST['email'])))) { $email = escape_data($_POST['email']); } else { $email = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>Please enter a valid email address!</font></p>'; } if (preg_match ('%^[a-z\d_]{2,20}$%', stripslashes(trim($_POST['username'])))) { $username = escape_data($_POST['username']); } else { $username = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>Please enter a valid username!</font></p>'; } if (preg_match ('%\A(?=[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*?[A-Z])(?=[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*?[a-z])(?=[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*?[0-9])\S{6,}\z%', stripslashes(trim($_POST['password1'])))) { if (($_POST['password1'] == $_POST['password2']) && ($_POST['password1'] != $_POST['username'])) { $password = escape_data($_POST['password1']); } elseif ($_POST['password1'] == $_POST['username']) { $password = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>Your password cannot be the same as the username!</font></p>'; } else { $password = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>Your password did not match the confirmed password!</font></p>'; } } else { $password = FALSE; echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>Please enter a valid password!</font></p>'; } $captchchk = 1; require_once('_includes/recaptchalib.php'); $privatekey = "My private key goes here...i know"; $resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey, $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"], $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"], $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]); if (!$resp->is_valid) { echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1″>The CAPTCHA Code wasn\'t entered correctly! </font></p>'; $captchchk = 0; } if ($firstname && $lastname && $birthdate && $gender && $zipcode && $email && $username && $password) { $query = "SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE username='$username'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or trigger_error("Sorry, that username is taken"); if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) { $a = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)); $query = "INSERT INTO users(zip_code, username, first_name, password, activation_code, join_date, last_name, gender, birth_date, email) VALUES ('$zipcode', '$username', '$firstname', SHA('$password'), '$a', NOW(), '$lastname', '$gender', '$birthdate', '$email')"; $result = mysql_query($query) or trigger_error("Sorry an error happened"); if(mysql_affected_rows() == 1) { $body = "Thanks for registering.

The problem is with one particular function and an if statement. The function checks to see if the username and password entered matches the username and password in the database but each time I get it echoing username/password incorrect. the function is Code: [Select] function valid_credentials($user, $pass) { $user = mysql_real_escape_string($user); $pass = sha1($pass); $total = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_username`) FROM `users` WHERE `user_username` = '{$user}' AND `user_password` = '{$pass}'"); return (mysql_result($total, 0) == '1') ? true : false; } and the statement is Code: [Select] if (valid_credentials($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']) == false) { $errors = 'Username/Password incorrect.'; } Any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been bugging me for the past 5 days :/ I'm trying to teach myself how to use functions and includes in my scripts. As an exercise I am trying to create a registration system that I can re-use on other future projects. I have my main register.php page as follows: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>Register</title> </head> <body> <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set('log_errors', 1); ini_set('error_log', dirname(__FILE__) . '/error_log.txt'); error_reporting(E_ALL); // Check to see if query string is set, if not pass empty array to function. if((!isset($_GET['success'])) && (!isset($_GET['active'])) && (!isset($_GET['valid']))) { include ('registerform.php'); $invalidcode = array(); regform($invalidcode); } //If success is set, use value to determine response if(isset($_GET['success'])) { if($_GET['success'] == "false") { echo "There has been an error with your registration. You will be redirected to the registration page in 5 SECONDS."; echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content =\"5; URL=index.php\">"; } if($_GET['success'] == "true") { echo "Thanks for registering. An activation email has been sent to your registered email address.<br />"; echo "Please check you email and follow the activation link contained within it."; } } //if active is set, determine response (note: code to be added here in future) if(isset($_GET['active'])) { if($_GET['active'] == "true") { echo "Thank you for activating this account.<br />"; echo "You may now return to the home page and login!"; } } //if valid is set there was a problem with the form validation. //get valid from query string, convert back to an array and pass array to the form display script if(isset($_GET['valid'])) { $invalidcode = $_GET['valid']; $invalidcode = unserialize(urldecode($invalidcode)); include ('registerform.php'); regform($invalidcode); } ?> </body> </html> When the page loads it first checks for any variables passed in the url to determine action. Heres the code for the function regform(): <?php function regform($errors) { //set variables to initial value to prevent undefined variable error $errors0 = 0; $errors1 = 0; $errors2 = 0; $errors3 = 0; $errors4 = 0; $errors5 = 0; $errors6 = 0; $errors7 = 0; //check to make sure the array that was passed was not empty //from my validation script the errors are in matching order to the display on this page. //I have only prepared 2 errors for this inital testing, there will be one for each field on the form. $i = count($errors); if($i > 0){ $errors0 = $errors[0]; $errors1 = $errors[1]; //$errors2 = $errors[2]; //$errors3 = $errors[3]; //$errors4 = $errors[4]; //$errors5 = $errors[5]; //$errors6 = $errors[6]; //$errors7 = $errors[7]; } echo "<form id='register' name='register' method='post' action='doreg.php' >"; echo "<table>"; //if the variable = 1 there was an error validating the field in the validate script if($errors0 == 1){ echo "<tr><td><font color='red'>First Name</font></td><td><input type='text' name='firstname' /></td><tr>"; } else { echo "<tr><td>First Name</td><td><input type='text' name='firstname' /></td><tr>"; } if($errors1 == 1){ echo "<tr><td><font color='red'>Last Name</font></td><td><input type='text' name='lastname' /></td><tr>"; } else { echo "<tr><td>Last Name</td><td><input type='text' name='lastname' /></td><tr>"; } //additional errors to be added, as per abov,e for the code below echo "<tr><td>Email Address</td><td><input type='text' name='email' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Password</td><td><input type='password' name='password1' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Confirm Password</td><td><input type='password' name='password2' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Accept Terms?</td><td><input type='checkbox' name='accept' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Security String</td><td><input type='text' name='secstring' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td><input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td><input type='hidden' name='form_submit' value='1' /></td><tr>"; echo "</table>"; echo "</form>"; } ?> So the form takes the array ?valid passed to the register page and determines which fields had a validation error and highlights them red. (I'll modify this highlighting to be what ever I need later...just testing my logic ) The form then calls doreg.php on submit. This will firstly run the validate script, then perform DB actions if all ok, else it will return to register with the error array passed in a query string: <?php if($_POST['form_submit'] == 1) { include ('validate.php'); //the validate script returns $errorarray. Need to figure out better way to test values to determine if any error flags are set if(($errorarray[0]!=0) or ($errorarray[1]!=0) or ($errorarray[2]!=0)) { $errorarray = urlencode(serialize($errorarray)); echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=\"0; URL=register.php?valid=$errorarray\">" ; } echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=\"0; URL=register.php?success=true\">"; } ?> php] And finally there is the actual validation script. I was hoping to be able to use this for all form validations across the site. I'll just add if(isset) for the various form fields and make sure I standardize my field names across my sites forms. [php] <?php $errorarray = array(); if($_POST['firstname'] == "") { $errorarray[0] = 1; } else {$errorarray[0] = 0; } if($_POST['lastname'] == "") { $errorarray[1] = 1; } else {$errorarray[1] = 0; } if($_POST['email'] == "") { $errorarray[2] = 1; } else {$errorarray[2] = 0; } return $errorarray; ?> For this example I have just done simple empty string checks. I'd really appreciate any advice on the code I've written to date. Im quite sure there are more elegant ways to achieve what these scripts do and I would greatfully accept any feedback. (Be gentle...I'm new ) Thanks I am currently creating a multi-user login system, and I have created the database in MySQL, but the problem is that my PHP script is not working as expected. I would like it so that if the user enters in a correct username + password combination, then they are redirected to a webpage called "congrats.php" for example. However, with my current PHP code, if I include a redirection instruction based on the correct input, then when I run the script, then the user is instantly taken to the congrats.php page without filling in any login details. I'm quite sure that the database has been connected to, as due to the layout of my script at the moment, the text that reads "You did it!" appears 4 times, the same number of rows in my MySQL database. My PHP coding for this is: Code: [Select] <html><head><title>Multi-User Log In Form</title></head> <body> <?php $self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $username = $_POST['username']; $password = $_POST['password']; ?> <form action = "<?php echo $self; ?>" method = "post"> Username <input type = "text" name = "username" size = "8"> Password <input type = "password" name = "password" size = "8"> <input type = "submit" value="Submit"> </form> <?php $conn = @mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die ("Err: Conn"); $rs = @mysql_select_db("test3", $conn) or die ("Err: Db"); $sql = "select * from users"; $rs = mysql_query($sql, $conn); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) { $name = $row["uname"]; $pass = $row["pword"]; if ($username = $name && $password = $pass) { //CODE FOR REDIRECTION SHOULD GO HERE //header("location:congrats.php"); echo "You did it!"; } else { echo "Invalid username and password combination"; } } ?></body> </html> Any help in trying to get it so that my PHP script will redirect only if a correct username + password combination is entered would be greatly appreciated Ok, first off, I tested my own coded reg system and when I make an error test, the error shows but the user info gets added to the database. How can I stop letting the code add the user to the database when an error occurs. <?php include "lang.php"; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>PokePals - Registering</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /></head> <body> <?php include "navbar.php"; ?> <?php // Important stuff goes here include "sql_local.php"; include "ban.php"; // Now for the registration page echo "<div class='panel'>"; if (isset($_POST["submit"])) { // Define the variables here $user = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["user"]); $pass1 = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["pass"]); $pass2 = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["passconf"]); $email = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["email"]); $email2 = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["email2"]); $dpfc = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["dpfc"]); $platinumfc = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["platinumfc"]); $hgssfc = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["hgssfc"]); $otherfc = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["otherfc"]); $favoritepkmn = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["favoritepkmn"]); $aboutme = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["aboutme"]); $hobbies = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["hobbies"]); $favorites = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["favorites"]); $gender = mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST["gender"]); // Now check for some errors // Did he/she fill out the form completely?

What I want to create is really complicated. Well I have a login system that works with post on an external website. I have my own website, but they do not give me access to the database for security reasons, therefore I have to use their login system to verify my users. What their website does is that it has a post, with username and password. The POST website is lets say "https://www.example.com/login". If login is achieved (i.e. username and password are correct), it will redirect me to "https://www.example.com/login/success" else it will redirect me to "https://www.example.com/login/retry". So I want a PHP script that will do that post, and then according to the redirected website address it will return me TRUE for success, FALSE for not successful login. Any idea?? Thanks Im trying to build mysql php user registration. For some reason i cannot insert values into my database. Code: [Select] <?php $submit = $_POST['submit']; $fullname = strip_tags($_POST['fullname']); $username = strip_tags($_POST['username']); $password = strip_tags($_POST['password']); // Connect the database $connection = mysql_connect("bla", "bla", "bla") or die ("Could not connect"); mysql_select_db("my_db", $connection); // mysql query $query = "INSERT INTO users VALUES (''. 'fullname', 'username', 'password')"; mysql_query($query); echo "You have successfully registered"; ?> Any help spotting the error would be appreciated! New to php and starting to feel way in over my head. Please help, point me in the right direction here. How do i create a new folder with a index.html like (www.mydomain.com/NEWUSER/index.html) when a user registers for my site and have it do live check for AVAILABILITY? I want to give my users a unique url for there profile. how then do i automate the creation of x.com/newuser/index.html and write it with the users input from my database at the same time?

Can anyone explain how i can create a registration and login page using PHP that doesnt use databases, sessions, or cookies? Is there a tutorial someone can point me to or could anyone tell me the method. Thanks first time php coder This Works But for Some reason when you Register an Account and try to login it says "Incorrect Username/Password" It is also Allowing Multiple Accounts to be Created Under the Same Username and Password: DB.php <?php session_start(); mysql_connect("localhost", "USERNAME", "PASSWORD"); mysql_select_db("DATABASE_USER"); function user_login ($username, $password) { //take the username and prevent SQL injections $username = mysql_real_escape_string($username); //begin the query $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM usersystem WHERE username = 'username' AND password = 'password' LIMIT 1"); //check to see how many rows were returned $rows = mysql_num_rows($sql); if ($rows<=0 ) { echo "Incorrect username/password"; } else { //have them logged in $_SESSION['sername'] = $username; } } ?> Register.php <?php include("db.php"); if (isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password']) && isset($_POST['email'])) { //Prevent SQL injections $username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']); $email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']); //Get MD5 hash of password $password = md5($_POST['password']); //Check to see if username exists $sql = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM usersystem WHERE username = 'username'"); if(mysql_num_rows($sql) > 0) { die ("Username taken."); } mysql_query("INSERT INTO usersystem (username, password, email) VALUES ( '$username', '$password', '$email')") or die (mysql_error()); echo "Account created."; } ?> <form action="register.php" method="post"> Username: <input name="username" type="text" /><br> Password: <input type="password" name="password" /><br> Email: <input name="email" type="text" /><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> Login.php <?php include("db.php"); if (isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password'])) { user_login($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']); } ?> <form action="login.php" method="post"> Username: <input name="username" type="text" /><br> Password: <input type="password" name="password" /><br> <button type="submit">Submit</button><br> </form> Could Anyone Help Please? Feel free to move this post if it is in the incorrect category. I was using a validation method for usernames on my website but I would like to make some improvements on it. You typed in your name and it would search and pop-up whether it was available or not. I am looking for a method similar to the one used on this website and many others that checks when the field loses focus. The php code and easiest example I have found is he http://shawngo.com/wp/blog/gafyd/index.html Code: [Select] $username = $_POST['username']; // get the username $username = trim(htmlentities($username)); // strip some crap out of it $file = '/home/js4hire/public_html/gafyd/data.csv'; // Here's the file. Notice the full path. echo check_username($file,$username); // call the check_username function and echo the results. function check_username($file_in,$username){ $username=strtolower($username); $file = file($file_in); foreach ($file as $line_num => $line) { $line = explode(',',$line); $user = trim(str_replace('"','',$line[0])); if($username == strtolower($user)){ return '<span style="color:#f00">Username Unavailable</span>'; } } return '<span style="color:#0c0">Username Available</span>'; } That example uses a flat file CSV, but I would like to use my MySQL database instead. I have included a snippet from my previous that I believe would tie into this, I'm just not sure how exactly: Code: [Select] require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../includes/common.inc.php'; require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../includes/user_functions.inc.php'; $output=''; if (!empty($_POST['user'])) { $user=sanitize_and_format($_POST['user'],TYPE_STRING,$__field2format[FIELD_TEXTFIELD]); if (get_userid_by_user($user) || $user=='guest') { $output=1; } } echo $output; That common.inc.php calls for the database connection in session.inc.php: Code: [Select] $josh_dblink=db_connect(_DBHOST_,_DBUSER_,_DBPASS_,_DBNAME_); if (!defined('NO_SESSION')) { require _BASEPATH_.'/includes/sessions.inc.php'; } I don't want to have to call the db connection again in that file but I need to get the relevant information and pass it through the php. Any help would be appreciated! Hello freaks, I can't seem to figure out why code not working correctly. Any advise greatly apprechiated. <?php include_once('connect/mysqlconnect.php'); $user = $_POST['uname']; $email = $_POST['email']; $pass1 = $_POST['pass1']; $pass2 = $_POST['pass2']; $checkname = mysqli_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE uname='$user'"); if(isset($_POST['submitted'])){ if(mysqli_num_rows($checkname) > 0) { $errors[] = 'User name not available, please choose different name'; } else { $u = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $user); } if(!empty($email)) { $e = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $email); } else { $errors[] = 'You did not enter email address!'; } if($pass1 == $_POST['pass2']) { $p = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, trim($pass1)); } else{ $errors[] = 'Your password did not match. Please try again.'; } if(empty($errors)) { $insert = "INSERT INTO users(uname, email, pass1, register_date) VALUES ('$u','$e',sha1('$p'), NOW(register_date))"; // This execute above statement to INSERT into database $r = mysqli_query($dbc, $insert); } if($r) { //Print a message: echo '<h1>Thank you!</h1> <p>You are now registered.</p><p><br /></p>'; } else { echo ',<h1>Server Error</h1> <p>You could not be registered do to a server error. We apologize for any inconvience.</p>'; } } mysqli_close($dbc); ?> I have this working code except I can't redirect to a thank you page when a new user registers. When they login it works without issue. I just don't know where or what to put for the registration part.
Here is my Code. Any help would be much appreciated.

I need help with this ASAP!!! I pretty sure my boss will fire me if I can not figure this out tonight... PLEASE HELP! I am a graphic designer and not a programmer... PLEASE HELP ME!!! My form will not display the echoed message ("Please fill in all required (*) feilds", "Maximum length for username is 25 characters", etc.) when I hit submit... It wouldn't even show the variables when I tried to just have the form only echo the various strings... nothing appeared... the only way I could get the string values to appear was through a array like this: if(is_array($_POST)){ echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>'; } ^^This returned the data fine... but when I try to echo on particular string and not using the array, nothing appears...

echo $_POST['user'] Doesn't do the showing of variable. Code parts aren't linked. $_SESSION works but $_POST doesn't - and it's all in the same file. I need good, free operations with $_POST
I'm novice, though very forgetful, I don't ask advice on how to separate files again, I just do it or do not. When "do not" I suffer, from misunderstanding of the $_POST mechanics. So when separate I don't understand login at all. $_SESSION['l'] I need to operate in game loc position. When all login is together i could be more free to look at code parts.

Could anyone help me making a login function that checks the txt document if user and pw exists/are correct? -and if they are, sends you to a logged in page. This is for a assignment which is why I have to store the information in a text document, I know it's unsafe. Also i know i should use $_Sessions but I'm not sure how to use it and where to put it.
So far I have created the form which has 2 buttons one for registering and one for logging in. I have also created the registration function which checks the text file if the username already exists if not it will register it. <html lang="eng"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> <title>name</title> </head> <body> <div class="formdiv"> <h2>Log in or register</h2> <form action="" method="post"> <p>Username<p style="color:black">*</p> <input type="text" name="user" placeholder="Type in your username" required> <p>Password<p style="color:black">*</p> <input type="password" name="pw" placeholder="Type in your password" required> <?php if (isset($_POST['saveBtn'])){ $username = $_POST['user']; $password = $_POST['pw']; $error = register($username); if ($error == '') { echo "User: $username has been registered!<br/>"; } else echo $error; } ?> <input type="submit" name="saveBtn" value="Save new user"> <input type="submit" name="loginBtn" value="Login"> </form> </div> <?php // Registration function register($user){ $textError = ''; // Check and see if user exists $UserPassTxt = fopen("userpwd.txt","a+"); // Opens text doc rewind($UserPassTxt); while (!feof($UserPassTxt)) { $line = fgets($UserPassTxt); $tmp = explode(':', $line); if ($tmp[0] == $user) { $textError = "Username already exists!"; break; } } if ($textError == ''){ $hash = password_hash('', PASSWORD_DEFAULT); fwrite($UserPassTxt, "\n$user: $hash"); } fclose($UserPassTxt); // Closes txt doc return $textError; } ?> <?php //Login function login($user, $pass){ } ?> </body> ///here's my best attempt at the function <?php //Login $error = '0'; if (isset($_POST['loginBtn'])){ $username = $_POST['user']; $password = $_POST['pw']; $error = login($username,$password); } function login($user, $pass){ $errorText = ''; $validUser = false; $UserPassTxt = fopen("userpwd.txt","r"); rewind($UserPassTxt); while (!feof($UserPassTxt)) { $line = fgets($UserPassTxt); $tmp = explode(':', $line); if ($tmp[0] == $user) { if (trim($tmp[1]) == trim(password_hash('', PASSWORD_DEFAULT))){ $validUser= true; $_SESSION['user'] = $user; } break; } } fclose($UserPassTxt); if ($validUser != true) $errorText = "Not correct username or password"; if ($validUser == true) $_SESSION['validUser'] = true; else $_SESSION['validUser'] = false; return $errorText; } function logoutUser(){ unset($_SESSION['validUser']); unset($_SESSION['user']); } function checkUser(){ if ((!isset($_SESSION['validUser'])) || ($_SESSION['validUser'] != true)){ header('Location: index.php'); } } ?>
