djclewes · March 30, 2014

here is my code and i need help with why it is not letting people register or login. Once logged in i want it to take the logged in users to area.php. any help will be appriciated.

<?php
session_start();
ob_start();

//Include the database connection file
include "config.php";

//Check to see if the submit button has been clicked to process data
if(isset($_POST["submitted"]) && $_POST["submitted"] == "yes")
{
	//Variables Assignment
	$username = trim(strip_tags($_POST['username']));
	$user_password = trim(strip_tags($_POST['passwd']));
	$encrypted_md5_password = md5($user_password);
	
	$validate_user_information = mysql_query("select * from `friendship_system_users_table` where `username` = '".mysql_real_escape_string($username)."' and `password` = '".mysql_real_escape_string($encrypted_md5_password)."'");
	
	//Validate against empty fields
	if($username == "" || $user_password == "")
	{
		$error = '<br><div class="info">Sorry, all fields are required to log into your account. Thanks.</div><br>';
	}
	elseif(mysql_num_rows($validate_user_information) == 1) //Check if the information of the user are valid or not
	{
		//The submitted info of the user are valid therefore, grant the user access to the system by creating a valid session for this user and redirect this user to the welcome page
		$get_user_information = mysql_fetch_array($validate_user_information);
		$_SESSION["VALID_USER_ID"] = $username;
		$_SESSION["USER_FULLNAME"] = strip_tags($get_user_information["fullname"]);
		header("location: area.php");	}
	else
	{
		//The submitted info the user are invalid therefore, display an error message on the screen to the user
		$error = '<br><div class="info">Sorry, you have provided incorrect information. Please enter correct user information to proceed. Thanks.</div><br>';
	}
	
}
?>

here is my code and i need help with why it is not letting people register or login.

you would start by determining why the registration process is not working. the code you posted doesn't contain the php code for that process. we would also need to know what sort of errors or symptoms you are getting that leads you to believe that registration is not working.

i look in phpadmin and it does not show any users in the databse. it also when you try and login does not take you to area.php. feel free to try and register your self at chatanrelax.co.uk

The tutorial you're following is old and uses deprecated functions as well as a very poor database hashing mechanism.

I suggest you take a look at this one: http://forums.devshed.com/php-faqs-stickies-167/program-basic-secure-login-system-using-php-mysql-891201.html
