Login Failed

[Drumlegend]

I have been working on an application for a university project and I have somehow managed to break my code and I have no idea what I have done to break it.

 

I have created a registration and log in script which used to work but I can no longer login with the registered details. I could really use some help on this so I don't spend hours ripping my hair out.

 

I have attached an image of my user database.

 

Code for registration

 

 

<?php
include 'PasswordHash.php';
$sql = new mysqli('localhost', '****', '****', '****');

// Create an array to catch any errors in the registration form.
$errors = array();

/**
* Make sure the form has been submitted before trying to process it. This is
* single most common cause of 'undefined index' notices.
*/
if (!empty($_POST))
{
// First check that required fields have been filled in.
if (empty($_POST['username']))
{
 $errors['username'] = "Username cannot be empty.";
}


// Restrict usernames to alphanumeric plus space, dot, dash, and underscore.
/*
if (preg_match('/[^a-zA-Z0-9 .-_]/', $_POST['username']))
{
 $errors['username'] = "Username contains illegal characters.";
}
*/
if (empty($_POST['firstname']))
{
 $errors['firstname'] = "First Name cannot be empty.";
}

if (empty($_POST['surname']))
{
 $errors['surname'] = "Surname cannot be empty.";
}

if (empty($_POST['password']))
{
 $errors['password'] = "Password cannot be empty.";
}


if (strlen($_POST['password']) < 
{
 $errors['password'] = "Password must be at least 8 charcaters.";
}


// Force passwords to contain at least one number and one special character.
/*
if (!preg_match('/[0-9]/', $_POST['password']))
{
 $errors['password'] = "Password must contain at least one number.";
}
if (!preg_match('/[\W]/', $_POST['password']))
{
 $errors['password'] = "Password must contain at least one special character.";
}
*/

if (empty($_POST['password_confirm']))
{
 $errors['password_confirm'] = "Please confirm password.";
}

if ($_POST['password'] != $_POST['password_confirm'])
{
 $errors['password'] = "Passwords do not match.";
}

$email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
if (!$email)
{
 $errors['email'] = "Not a valid email address.";
}

/**

 */
$query = "SELECT username, email
		 FROM users
		 WHERE username = '{$username}' OR email = '{$email}'";
$result = $sql->query($query);

/**
 * There may well be more than one point of failure, but all we really need
 * is the first one.
 */
$existing = $result->fetch_object();

if ($existing)
{
 if ($existing->username == $_POST['username'])
 {
	 $errors['username'] = "That username is already in use.";
 }
 if ($existing->email == $email)
 {
	 $errors['email'] = "That email address is already in use.";
 }
}
}



if (!empty($_POST) && empty($errors))
{
/**
 * Hash password before storing in database
 */
$hasher = new PasswordHash(8, FALSE);
$password = $hasher->HashPassword($_POST['password']);

$query = "INSERT INTO users (firstname, surname, username, email, password, addressline1, addressline2, city, county, postcode, created)
		 VALUES ('{$firstname}','{$surname}','{$username}','{$email}',
'{$password}','{$addressline1}','{$addressline2}','{$city}','{$county}','{$postcode}', NOW())";
$success = $sql->query($query);

if ($success)
{
 $message = "Account created.";
}
else
{
 $errors['registration'] = "Account could not be created. Please try again later.";
}
}
?>

 

Login Code

 

<?php
session_start();



// If the user is already logged in then redirect them to homepage
if (isset($_SESSION['user_id']))

exit();

$query = "SELECT id, password, username, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(created) AS salt
		 FROM users
		 WHERE username = '{$username}'";
$user = $sql->query($query)->fetch_object();

/**
 * Check that the query returned a result (otherwise user doesn't exist)

	 * cookies or sessions!

?>

 

Thank you in advance and I'm sorry for the amount of code.

 

 

Some of the code I used was from tutorials, as I am new to php.

[requinix]

// Again, never trust user input!
$user = $sql->real_escape_string($_POST['username']);

$query = "SELECT id, password, username, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(created) AS salt
                         FROM users
                         WHERE username = '{$username}'";

Variable mismatch.

// Again, never trust user input!
$user = $sql->real_escape_string($_POST['username']);

$query = "SELECT id, password, username, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(created) AS salt
                        FROM users
                        WHERE username = '{$username}'";

Variable mismatch.

 

So what do I need to change, I am confused.

I see the mistake I made now, thank you. Needed to change $user to $username
