PHP Login system?

MrWeavile · May 13, 2013

I'm trying to make a login system using two PHP scripts, a html and a text file. The html should link to the login.php which should get a name from the text file with all the usernames and passwords, then allow entry if correct while setting a cookie. The four files are called:

login.html

login.php

secured.php

user.txt

The code for the html is:

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

<head>

<title>Login</title>

</head>

<body>

<tr>

<td>

<tr>

<td colspan="3"><strong>Member Login </strong></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td width="78">Username</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Password</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</td>

</form>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

The code for the login.php is:

<?php

while(!feof($fileHandle)) {

$Data=fgets($fileHandle);

$user=explode("|",$data);

$user[0];

$user[1];

$name=trim($user[0]);

$pass=trim($user[1]);

}

if($usern==$user && $passw==$password)

{

setcookie("uname",$usern);

header("Location:home.php");

exit();

}

?>

The code for the secured.php is:

<?php

$usern=$_GET['username'];

$passw=$_GET['password'];

$fileHandle=fopen('user.txt','r');

?>

I uploaded all four files to my local server then ran the html off that server by connecting to it directly within the URL bar. The login will just stay there not loading anything. I'll upload the files too.

You need to include secured.php into your login.php script, otherwise you never grab the username/password from the form.

Also, your form uses POST as the method, but you're trying to get the variables using GET.

Fix those two problems up and you should start getting some meaningful errors (if there are any), that you can start to debug.
