Hello all,

 

I need help with this login system, the problem is I don't know how to retrieve data correctly from DB I have an idea but still not working.

 

Also I'm not sure if arrays in login systems work same way I did....till blows my head everytime I work with them...any help is appreciated.

 

Here is the script:

<?php

if(isset($_POST['Login'])){

$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$userpass = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']);

include 'library/config.php';
include 'library/open.php';		


	// Query
	$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password'") or die ('Error, cannot continue');


	$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql);

	if(mysql_num_rows($sql) == 0)	
	die("<br />Invalid user or password!<br />");

	else

	session_start();
	$_SESSION["username"]=$row["username"];
	$_SESSION["username"]=$row["password"];
	header("LOCATION: admin/admin.php");


include 'library/closedb.php';


}
?>

Try it like this, you've got some of the orders mixed around. And session_start() should ALWAYS be at the top. Oh and you were using $password not $userpass. :D

 

<?php
session_start(); //ALWAYS!!!

if(isset($_POST['Login'])){

$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$userpass = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']);

include 'library/config.php';
include 'library/open.php';		


	// Query
	$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `username`='{$username}' AND `password`='{$userpass}'") or die ('Error, cannot continue');

	if(mysql_num_rows($sql) == 0){
	die("<br />Invalid user or password!<br />");

}else{

	$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql); //you can use array 


	$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
	$_SESSION['username'] = $row['password'];
	header("LOCATION: admin/admin.php");


include 'library/closedb.php';


}
?>

oh..all fixed thanks for that! :D

 

now the problem is, I get stuck in the validate script (which is the one of above) when I try to Login, if I fill the login info, it redirects me to the validating script even if the password is wrong, all it shows it a blank page ???

ok, I have 2 files, the Login and Validate:

 

Login.php

<html>
<head>Login</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
	<td>
		<form action="validate.php" method="POST">
		User:
		<input type="text" name="username"><br />
		Password:
		<input type="password" name="password">
		<input type="submit" value="Login">
		</form>
	</td>
</tr>
</body>
</html>

 

Validate.php

<?php
session_start(); //ALWAYS!!!

if(isset($_POST['Login'])){

$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$userpass = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']);

include 'library/config.php';
include 'library/open.php';		


	// Query
	$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `username`='{$username}' AND `password`='{$userpass}'") or die ('Error, cannot continue');


	if(mysql_num_rows($sql) == 0){	

	die("<br />Invalid user or password!<br />");

}else{

	$row = mysql_fetch_array($sql); //you can use array 

	$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
	$_SESSION['username'] = $row['password'];
	header("LOCATION: admin/admin.php");



include 'library/closedb.php';


}

}

?>

 

What I mean is, after I fill the login info(username and password) it is supposed to check all info using Validate.php script, once is checked and everything is correct it must redirect me to "admin/admin.php". but it doesn't, it simply shows a blank page after I click the Login button(inlogin.php)

 

 

I hope I could make ya the map  :(

 

 

 

so u want it to show an error if the password is wrong?

Yes thats what I want, but it doesn't work at all, as I can type anything and it redirects me  ???
