PHP - User Registration System
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 $errorarray; ?> For this example I have just done simple empty string checks. I'd really appreciate any advice on the code I've written to date. Im quite sure there are more elegant ways to achieve what these scripts do and I would greatfully accept any feedback. (Be gentle...I'm new ) Thanks Similar TutorialsHi All, I have currently been working on a login/registration system for a university project and I am now struggling with the login section. The problem is with one particular function and an if statement. The function checks to see if the username and password entered matches the username and password in the database but each time I get it echoing username/password incorrect. the function is Code: [Select] function valid_credentials($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) { $errors = 'Username/Password incorrect.'; } Any help would be greatly appreciated as this has been bugging me for the past 5 days :/ I'm trying to make a simple but secure login/user registration for this site I'm building. I'm new to php, so I followed some tutorials from www.newthinktank.com. http://www.newthinktank.com/2011/01/php-security-pt-2/ http://www.newthinktank.com/2011/01/php-security-pt-4-set-up-captcha// http://www.newthinktank.com/2011/01/web-design-and-programming-pt-21-secure-login-script/ But I'm having a couple of problems. On the registration.php file, whenever I type in wrong information, the validation error messages don't display and also whenever I click the submit button, the form doesn't do anything. It doesn't insert information into my database. It just shows the empty form. On my login.php file, again the validation errors don't display and I can't tell if I'm logged in or not. The form redirects to my index page, but the user box that shows the different menus depending on whether or not someone is logged in stays in guest mode. I don't get any php error messages on either file. Here's my code: register.php file: Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled</title> <link href="_css/page_layout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="_css/page_text.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="_css/sidebarLeft.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <?php include('_includes/template/header.php'); ?> <?php include('_includes/template/nav.php'); ?> <?php include('_includes/template/sidebar_left.php'); ?> <div id="mainContent"> <div class="content"> <?php require_once('_includes/connectvars.php'); if (isset($_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.

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? 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.

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...

How would I get this to work? Are there any sites I should look at that you'd recommend? Any help appreciated. I'm building a php program that registers users onto a website. With the help of people from this thread http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=332260.15 I was able to accomplish the goal and now the signup works with conditions that check for a valid email, and if the password is strong enough. T he program correctly displays the the problem when a user does NOT enter a valid email, or a strong enough password, but the user has to re-enter the email and password everytime. I want to make it so that the fields remained populated with what the user entered previously, so he or she does not have to re-enter his or her email/password.

If not, it should be valid domain name $domain_array = explode(".", $email_array[1]); if (sizeof($domain_array) < 2) { return false; // Not enough parts to domain } for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($domain_array);

Hi I was curious as to if you guys could possibly point me in the right direction so I can learn what is needed in order to implement a system on my website that allows users to login and then I could make only certain users have access to certain pages and etc, I don't have any mysql knowledge at all and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to know that so if anyone could point me in the right direction and put me on on the right track to learning this or a guide I could go off of and see how everything works, I appreciate it. Thanks! CLUEL3SS Hi, I have a fully pledged membership system and want to integrate my own user referral system but want some tips, advice really on the logic of it. Basically already registered users on my site will have the option to refer people, only registered users. I will try to explain my logic and what i have done so far. My current registered users table is something like Quote users (table) - id (user id) - email (user email) - password (hash of users password) - reg_date (date user registered) I have some other fields but not relevant to what I want to do and to keep things as simple as possible I left them out. I am thinking of creating a new table called referrals and for example when a registered user on my site from the users table goes to a member only page called referral.php it will display a form so they can enter an email address of someone they want to refer and it also displays the people they referred. My referral table is like this so far and not sure if it's best way to go about the database logics and php logic. my table so far looks like this: Quote referrals (table) - id (auto incremented every time a new referral (row) is added to referrals table) - referrer_uid (id of referrer, this would be the unique id of a registered user from the users table) - referred_email (email address of person who has been referred) - status (when someone is first referred default will be `referred`, if they signup to site via referral link this will update to `completed`) - created_on (date the referral was made, unix timestamp) - updated_on (date the referred person actually clicks the referral link and completes signup) Currently i added the database table above to my site on local. added some sample data for testing and created a referral.php page where there's a form so a registered member can enter a persons email and refer them to my site to signup. On referral.php there is also the total people they referred and a table showing all the people they referred as follows: Referred Email | Referred Date | Status | Completed On Now so far everything is seems fine. I have my sample (pretend referrals i made) data showing in my test account. The part i am now not sure about is this: Obviously to stop abuse i do my usual validation checks like: check to ensure the email being entered on referrals page does not exist in users table (registered member), check to ensure the email has not already been referred previously (for spam reasons) only allowed to refer an email address once and not allowed to refer someone who has previously been referred by someone else to (again for spam reasons) Now onto the tracking the referral and link building. I was first thinking this: on sign up form have a hidden field. The sign up form would do a simple check to see if isset $_GET['ref'] like signup.php?ref=something_here if it is prefill the hidden field, when user then signs up if the ref=something_here matches what's in the database then update referral to complete so the referrer knows that their friend for example signed up via their referral, unix timestamp of when referred person completed signup. Now i was going to use the email address of referred person or username of person who made the referral signup.php?ref=username or signup.php?ref=referred_email . Now what i am thinking is what would be better and i guess stop random abuse is create another column and call it referred_id; this would be a random md5 hash that is unique to that referral and it will be appended to the url like signup.php?ref=md5_hash_here. So my questions a 1) Is there anything you think i should change, improve on, alter etc ? 2) Do you think i am going about it the rite way or making a mess of it ? 3) Have i left anything out that i may have not thought of that could cause the system to be abused ? Any suggestions, feedback, help on the whole logic would be great. I coded allot of it last night and won't take me long to do the rest but need some help in terms of ensuring i am doing it the best way possible etc, the logic behind it all. Thanks for any suggestions, help, advice, tips! PHPFAN Hi Guys, have you got an idea how I can create a user management system with login and pw, please? I tried the below, but when I click on the "ADD NEW USER" button nothing happens <div> <fieldset> <legend>USER DETAILS</legend> <table> <tr> <td align="right"><a title='NAME' href='user_edit.php?id=1'>NAME</a></td> <td> <input class="norm" type="text" name="name" id="name" /></div> </td> <td align="right"><a title='SURNAME' href='user_edit.php?id=2'>SURNAME</a></td> <td> <input class="norm" type="text" name="surname" id="surname" /></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><a title='E-MAIL ADDRESS' href='user_edit.php?id=3'>E-MAIL ADDRESS</a></td> <td colspan="4"> <input class="norm" type="text" size="57" name="e-mail" id="e-mail" /></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><a title='LOGIN' href='user_edit.php?id=4'>LOGIN</a></td> <td> <input type="text" name="login" id="login" /></div> </td> <td align="right"><a title='PASSWORD' href='user_edit.php?id=5'>PASSWORD</a></td> <td> <input class="norm" type="text" name="password" id="password" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </fieldset> </div> <br /> <div> <fieldset> <input type='submit' name='delete' value='DELETE USER' onclick='confirm("ARE YOU SURE?");'/> <input type='submit' name='add' value='ADD NEW USER'/> </fieldset> </div> cheers, ozzo Hello Friends, Iam in a little bit confused matter. Iam developing a website & it requires a user's banning system too so my question begin here that if i use user's IP to ban but they can easy access the website by using different proxy sites & almost ip address are dynamic not static. Banning their email is waste thing because they can create a new email within 1min. Anyone have experiences in these things ? How we can ban a user permanently from accessing the website ? |
