I'm sure this question is asked alot, but im having problems and cant figure out where im going wrong here.
I have a login.php form, which uses the checklogin.php to validate the login. Here is what i have
<?php
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="username"; // Mysql username
$password="yourpass"; // Mysql password
$db_name="checklog"; // Database name
$tbl_name="members"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect($host, $username, $password)or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db($db_name)or die("cannot select DB");
// username and password sent from form
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
// To protect MySQL injection
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
header("location:login_success.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
?>
I've altered $username="username"; // Mysql username to equal $username="" and for it to equal the same as the form name. Still cant get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the error i get
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'username'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /checklogin.php on line 68
cannot connect
Thanks in advance
