PHP login system script help...

Rufus65 · June 30, 2009

I am a horrible coder, i can only read a little bit of HTML but even that's stretching it. I have 2 pieces of code currently that i might possibly need merged and i can't do it without one code being completely changed into something that won't work. First of i'll explain my source codes. I went to Evolt.org :http://evolt.org/node/60384/: cause they had a pre-made PHP Login System script that i thought would be easy to integrate into my site. Here's the code i have currently in my index.html file that makes the login system look pretty [without the sign up button]:

<!--Login Background Starts -->
<div id="login-bg">
		<!--Login Area Starts -->
		<div id="login-area">
			<form action="" method="post" name="Login" id="Login">
				<label>Members Login:</label>
				<input name="username" type="text" id="username" value="username" maxlength="30" />
				<input name="pass" type="password" id="pass" value="password" maxlength="30" />
				<input type="image" src="images/login-btn.gif" class="login-btn" alt="Login" title="Login" />
				<br class="spacer" />
			</form>
		</div>
		<!--Login Area Ends -->
	</div>
	<!--Login Background Ends -->

Now here's the code i need transfered and merged into the code above so i can keep my login system the way it is:

<?
/**
* Main.php
*
* This is an example of the main page of a website. Here
* users will be able to login. However, like on most sites
* the login form doesn't just have to be on the main page,
* but re-appear on subsequent pages, depending on whether
* the user has logged in or not.

now i went to my web hostings forums to see what they could do to help but all they gave me was this code that doesn't seem to work and is missing the username box:

i have no clue what i'm doing at this point, all i want is to have a nice looking login system. I have the datatables.sql file and the PHPMyAdmin database [provided by my hosting service] taken care of, i just need the links made between all the PHP code and the layout style i already have made. Here's the beginning section of my home page that contains the entire header [including the login boxes] and all the way to the sign up button:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>CYK Studios | Home</title>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /></head>

<body>
<!--Header Background Part Starts -->
<div id="header-bg">
<!--Header Contant Part Starts -->
<div id="header">
	<a href="index.html" target="_parent"><img src="images/logo.gif" alt="CYK Studios" name="logo" width="281" height="62" class="logo" id="logo" title="CYK Studios" /></a>
	<!--Login Background Starts -->
<div id="login-bg">
		<!--Login Area Starts -->
		<div id="login-area">
			<form action="" method="post" name="Login" id="Login">
				<label>Members Login:</label>
				<input name="username" type="text" id="username" value="username" maxlength="30" />
				<input name="pass" type="password" id="pass" value="password" maxlength="30" />
				<input type="image" src="images/login-btn.gif" class="login-btn" alt="Login" title="Login" />
				<br class="spacer" />
			</form>
		</div>
		<!--Login Area Ends -->
	</div>
	<!--Login Background Ends -->
	<br class="spacer" />
</div>
  <!--Header Contant Part Ends -->
</div>
<!--Header Background Part Ends -->
<!--Navigation Background Part Starts -->
<div id="navigation-bg">

	<a href="#" class="signup"></a>
	<br class="spacer" />
	<ul class="subNav">

What is actually wrong with the current code, are you getting an error, is part of it working etc..

Rufus65 · June 30, 2009

the current code i have is just there for design and layout purposes, it has no connection whatsoever to the PHP code and i don't know how to link it properly without changing or damaging my members login section.

ivannovak · July 24, 2009

I know it’s been a while since your last login, but I recently wrote an article explaining how to set up jpmaster77's login system. Take a look: http://ivannovak.com/jpmaster77s-login-system-tutorial/

I'll try to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks!
