password not being recognized on login script

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I need assistance with some code for my login script. I had to redo it because of several changes made to my database. for some reason when I run my login script it doesnot pick up that the password is there(or that it is correct) since my error displays when i submit the user and password. many thanks for your help in advance!

 

the username field in sql is user_id

the password field in sql is user_pass

 

here is the array

$fields_1 =   array("fusername" => "User Name",
                            "fpassword"  => "Password"
                   );
$length_1 =   array("fusername" => "10",
                             "fpassword" => "10"
                   );

 

here is my login script

 

 

<?php
/* Program: Login.php
*/
  session_start();
  include("functions_main.inc");
  $table_name = "users";
  $next_program = "home.php";

      $result = mysqli_query($cxn,$sql)
                  or die("Couldn't execute query 1");
      $num = mysqli_num_rows($result);
      if($num == 1)
      {
         $sql = "SELECT user_id FROM $table_name 
              WHERE user_id='".mysqli_real_escape_string($cxn,$_POST['fusername'])."'

why not to try all the core things with a simple mysql query on mysql console:

 

mysql>select *from users_table where username='abcd';

if this returns non-zero entries then there is the entry for the user.

 

mysql>select *from users_table where username="abcd" and password=md5('passwd');

 

if this returns non-zero rows then the provided username and pwd is eligible for login.

 

Please let me know if need further help.
