silverglade Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi, this script looks fine, but I can't figure out what is wrong. It must be something on the "checklogin.php" page. When I enter in the registered user and password, which is in the database ok, it says "wrong user or pass". I don't see what is wrong with the code. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

trq Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 session_register and session_is_registered have long been deprecated, whatever resource your learning from is well out of date.

silverglade Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 i think the problem is I did a sha1 on the passwords Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239972-login-script-not-working-says-wrong-username-or-password/#findComment-1232678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverglade Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thank you. I got errors from them, and I fixed the SHA1 problem. But the links you gave me do not offer an alternative. Do you know of an alternative way that I could do it please.

silverglade Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thank you very much HDFilmMaker2112. That helped me get to the welcome page. It gives me the following warnings with this code though, headers already sent. Any more help I would be great . thanks. EDIT: I found an answer but I don't know how to do it. "In simple terms, you cannot have your header() [us3.php.net] function in the middle of a HTML page. You must find a way to have the header() [us3.php.net] function called before anything gets printed to the screen, including your HTML that you have before your PHP.

HDFilmMaker2112 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Add session_start(); above the $_SESSION variables.

silverglade Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Thank you very much HDFilmMaker2112!! Everything works now. I now have a completed registration and login system. very simple but works. I really need to study up on sessions and sql now. I got impatient learning the php syntax and just decided to rush into tutorials, and I managed to do pretty well, but it is kind of like getting into a sports car when you are only used to riding a bicycle. So I will try to read up more at the same time as the tutorials. But thanks for helping. Teaching myself php is the hardest thing I have ever tried to do, mainly because the lack of good php tutorials I find on the net. Most are old, poorly coded, or overly hard. But I will keep going. Thank you! Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239972-login-script-not-working-says-wrong-username-or-password/#findComment-1232700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
