Hi, I am limbo with this one. What I have makes sense to me, but I know I'm missing something or doing something wrong
I have been able to hash passwords with salt by new people registering to my site by doing this:
if(!$error) {
$alpha = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcedfghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890";
$rand = str_shuffle($alpha);
$salt = substr($rand,0,40);
$hashed_password = sha1($salt . $_POST['password']);
$query = "INSERT INTO `cysticUsers` (
`FirstName`,
`LastName`,
`Email`,
`Password`,
`salt`,
`RelationshipToCF`,
`State`,
`Gender`,
`Birthday`,
`Status`
)VALUES(
'" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['firstName']) . "',
'" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['lastName']) . "',
'" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']) . "',
'" . $hashed_password . "',
'" . $salt . "',
'" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['RelationToCF']) . "',
'" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['State']) . "',
'" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['sex']) . "',
'" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['DateOfBirth_Year'] . "-" . $_POST['DateOfBirth_Month'] . "-" . $_POST['DateOfBirth_Day']) . "',
'pending'
)";
mysql_query($query, $connection);
I have been able to to update EXISTING users passwords by doing this:
$query = "SELECT * FROM `cysticUsers`";
$request = mysql_query($query,$connection);
while($result = mysql_fetch_array($request)) {
$alpha = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcedfghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890";
$rand = str_shuffle($alpha);
$salt = substr($rand,0,40);
$hashed_password = sha1($salt . $result['Password']);
$user = $result['id'];
$query2 = "UPDATE `cysticUsers` SET `salt` = '$salt' WHERE `id` = '$user'";
$request2 = mysql_query($query2,$connection) or die(mysql_error());
$query3 = "UPDATE `cysticUsers` SET `encrypted_passwords` = '$hashed_password' WHERE `id` = '$user'";
$request3 = mysql_query($query3,$connection) or die(mysql_error());
}
Now, I want to be able to SIGN BACK IN with the existing password and I am failing miserably by doing this:
$query = "SELECT `salt`,`id`,`email`,`password` FROM `cysticUsers` WHERE `Email` = '" . $email . "' AND `Password` = '" . $password . "' && `Status` = 'active' LIMIT 1";
$request = mysql_query($query,$connection) or die(mysql_error());
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']);
if(@mysql_num_rows($request)) {
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request);
if (sha1($row['salt'] . $_POST['password']) === $row['Password']) {
$_SESSION['CLIFE']['AUTH'] = true;
$_SESSION['CLIFE']['ID'] = $result['id'];
// UPDATE LAST ACTIVITY FOR USER
$query = "UPDATE `cysticUsers` SET `LastActivity` = '" . date("Y-m-d") . " " . date("g:i:s") . "' WHERE `id` = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_SESSION['CLIFE']['ID']) . "' LIMIT 1";
mysql_query($query,$connection);
if(!empty($_POST['return'])) {
header("Location: " . $_POST['return']);
}else{
header("Location: CysticLife-Dashboard.php?id=" . $_SESSION['CLIFE']['ID']);
}
}
}else{
$_SESSION['CLIFE']['AUTH'] = false;
$_SESSION['CLIFE']['ID'] = false;
}
}
I've been scouring resources and am stuck on this. I have a deadline to meet that I am behind on. Needless to say I'm pulling my hair out and some help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
besides the mix-up of caps. does anyone know if this is close or should I try a different method all together?
