Awesome. I moved it and it works. Thanks

Correct. The login form is displayed before session_start(); Could this be the problem? Should my PHP code be before the form or after?

Hi It does not give a blank page. Its gives the same page but just clears the form after I click the submit button. I have echoed out the $username and $EncPass after the below line and it gave the correct username and password. Could it be a browser issue? I was testing on firefox if (isset($_POST['login'])) { //if submit button is clicked, the below query will run $result = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT * FROM member WHERE username='$username' AND password='$EncPass'"); //query to check if username and password matches what is stored in the user table to me it seem the problem lies somewhere here: if($result) { if(mysqli_num_rows($result)) { session_start(); // start a session $_SESSION['username'] = "$username"; //store username in the session header("location:members_area.php"); // redirects to the members area } else echo "<p align = 'center'>Incorect login! Please try again, or proceed to <a href='register.php'> Register </a></p>"; } but I cannot understand why it works on the testing server on not on the live site. It does not even print the line Incorect login! Please try again, or proceed to <a href='register.php'> Register </a>

Hi Im having trouble logging into the live site. The below works perfectly in my testing environment but as soon as I test it on the live domain when I enter in the login details and submit it just clears the login form and does not login. I have checked the database after registering an account and it store the username and encrypted pass just as it stores it in my testing database. Any help will be appreciated. My register.php is as follows: <?php include('connect.php'); //Define variable submitted by the form $Register = $_POST['register']; $title = $_POST['title']; $name = $_POST['name']; $surname = $_POST['surname']; $email = $_POST['email']; $username = $_POST['username']; $password1 = $_POST['password']; $password2 = $_POST['conf_password']; $EncPass = sha1($password1); if (isset($_POST['register'])) { //check if submit button was selected if($name == "" or $surname == "" or $username == "" or $password1 == "" or $password2 == ""){ //check if fields in the form is empty echo "<p align = 'center'>Please enter all required fields</p>"; } else{ $result = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT username FROM member WHERE username='$username'"); //selects the username from the user table in the database that is the same as the username submitted by the form $num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($result); //checks the number of rows with this username if($num_rows > 0){ //if number of rows is more than 0, the below will be displayed echo "<p align='center'>The user $username already exists! Proceed to <a href=login.php>Login</a></p>"; } else{ if($password1 == $password2){ //check if the passwords match //Create query $query = "INSERT INTO member (title, name, surname, email, username, password) VALUES ('$title', '$name', '$surname', '$email', '$username', '$EncPass')"; //inserts the data that was entered in the form into the user table $result = mysqli_query($connection,$query); if($result){ //if the query is successful, the below will be displayed echo "<p align='center'>Registration Succesful. Proceed to <a href=index.php>Login</a>!</p>"; } } else{ echo "<p align='center'>The Passwords does not match! Please try again</p>"; //Print a message to the user that passwords do no match } } } } ?> index.php: <?php include('connect.php'); //Define variable submitted by the form $Login = $_POST['login']; $username = $_POST['username']; $password1 = $_POST['password']; $EncPass = sha1($password1); if (isset($_POST['login'])) { //if submit button is clicked, the below query will run $result = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT * FROM member WHERE username='$username' AND password='$EncPass'"); //query to check if username and password matches what is stored in the user table if($result) { if(mysqli_num_rows($result)) { session_start(); // start a session $_SESSION['username'] = "$username"; //store username in the session header("location:members_area.php"); // redirects to the members area } else echo "<p align = 'center'>Incorect login! Please try again, or proceed to <a href='register.php'> Register </a></p>"; } } ?>
