I have been working on a login form, I have completed the registration side but the login form is proving to be fighting back. I have just jumped into the world of PDO and only recently PHP in a serious way. I have been trying to use the password_verify(); function but I have spent so long on it now trying to get it working I have made it more difficult than it should be and probably is. I would be grateful if someone could take a look at my code and just tell me what I am doing wrong. I have tested it with the username and password hard coded in and it returns an array however if I comment out the hard coded username and password I get an empty array. I dare say that someone will see the issue straight away but I cannot get my head round it. <?php session_start(); error_reporting(0); require '../php_inc/connection/connect.php'; require_once '../php_inc/functions.php'; $error = ''; // all error messages will use this variable $msg = 'Please fill in both fields and answer the captcha, they are all required to log in.'; if(isset($_POST['submitted'])){ $dbuname = 'dashby'; // As if check with DB - If I comment these 2 out and try to get data from DB I get empty array $hashed = '$2y$12$7hcyfm7UjboYGaNLF7vK1.qroo3YkvhKAR8EfxG1byEMkNB0oSQgi'; // As if check with DB - same password require 'Captcha.php'; $username = escape_in($_POST['username']); // Username $captcha = escape_in($_POST['captchaResult']); //Captcha $unhashed = escape_in($_POST['password']); //Password b4 hashing takes place //$submittedPassword = password_hash($unhashed, PASSWORD_DEFAULT, ['cost' => 12]); // connect to the database so the checks can be done. if($pdo){ $stmt = $pdo->prepare("select * from users where username = :username && password = :password"); $stmt->bindParam(":username", $username); $stmt->bindParam(":password", $unhashed); // If $hashed is the variable I get an array returned, as $unhashed I get an empty array echo '<pre>'; if($stmt->execute()){ $rows = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); print_r($rows); } } echo '</pre>'; if($total == $getCaptchaResults){ //Capcha OK if(password_verify($unhashed, $hashed)){ //$msg = ''; //$error .= 'Password match'; if($username == $dbuname){ //$msg = ''; //$error .= 'Captcha, username and password ok'; // working to this point $_SESSION['username']; //header('Location: welcomelogged.php'); } else { $msg = ''; $error .= 'Denied wrong username and/or password'; } } else { $msg = ''; $error .= 'Denied wrong password and/or username'; } } else { if(($total != $getCaptchaResults)){ $msg = ''; $error .= 'Captcha Wrong'; } } }// post submitted brace ?> The if statements all work bar the password_verify when I comment out the hard coded variables out, directly under if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {} I would be grateful if someone could steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
