[SOLVED] Creating a login system

[kaimason1]

How do you create a login system with username, password, and captcha? ???

[mbrown]

what are confused about with it. i have a log in system but without captcha.

[kaimason1]

I just have no clue how to go about it.... then again, as I have only been php programming for three weeks, I don't know much about how to go about anything.

you need to learn how to validate your form, insert into your db first. i would suggest hashing your pw with md5 or sha1.

such a hard thing to walk thru in a forum thread

 

link contains pretty sweet tutorial easy to follow and implement doesnt have a captcha but the log in system is the harder part to implement anyways..

 

 

also it requires activation and spammers wont activate accounts so i just set up to remove all unactivated accounts after a certain timeframe

I could help with captcha but not login system. Create a new file called captcha.php

INside should be this

<?php 
session_start(); 
$text = rand(10000,99999); 
$_SESSION["vercode"] = $text; 
$height = 25; 
$width = 65; 

$image_p = imagecreate($width, $height); 
$black = imagecolorallocate($image_p, 0, 0, 0); 
$white = imagecolorallocate($image_p, 255, 255, 255); 
$font_size = 14; 

imagestring($image_p, $font_size, 5, 5, $text, $white); 
imagejpeg($image_p, null, 80); 
?>

 

Now paste this on the page of your webform.

 

<?php 
session_start(); 
if ($_POST["vercode"] != $_SESSION["vercode"] OR $_SESSION["vercode"]=='')  { 
     echo  '<strong>Incorrect verification code.</strong><br>'; 
} else { 
    // Add form data 
     echo  '<strong>Verification successful.</strong><br>'; 
}; 
?>

 

 

-------------------------------------------------

nevermind.. I guess I can help with the login system after all..

Open MySQL server and execute this

CREATE TABLE `users` (  
`UserID` INT(25) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,  
`Username` VARCHAR(65) NOT NULL ,  
`Password` VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL ,  
`EmailAddress` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL  
);  

 

Then download the rest of the files from attachment.

THANK YOU EVERYONE! I think I will read over all these. Should I have trouble, I will unsolve this and post my question. But from CV's tutorial to all the others you handed me, I think I'm set!
