Login $get

[ecabrera]

I'm trying to get  but does not work

this is all in my login.php file

<?php

$fail = $_GET['login_failed'];

if($fail){
echo "HELLO";
}

?>

 

here is the rest of the code

<?php
session_start();
$email = $_SESSION['email'];

$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']);

if(!empty($email) && isset($email) &&!empty($password) && isset($password))
{
    $password = md5("$password");

    require "includes/init/db_con.php"; 
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '$email'");
    $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);

    if($numrows != 0)
    {
        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);

        $dbemail = $row ['email'];
        $dbpassword = $row ['password'];

        if($dbemail === $email && $dbpassword === $password)
        {
            $_SESSION['email'] = $dbemail;
            header("location: http://localhost/website/home.php");
        }
        else 
        {
            // Login failed because email or password did not match
            header('Location: login.php?login_failed');

        }
    }
}
?>

   echo "HELLO";
}

$_GET['login_failed'] isn't set to anything in the header redirect. Try something like:

 

<?php
//...

header('Location: login.php?login_failed=1');

//...
?>

$_GET['login_failed'] isn't set to anything in the header redirect. Try something like:

 

<?php
//...

header('Location: login.php?login_failed=1');

//...
?>

 

Doesn't need to be.  Using isset on $_GET['login_failed'] will return true even if it does not contain a value.

Where is that section of code within the file? If it's inside of another if() you need to see if that's processing.
