[SOLVED] PHP/MySQL Login

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I have a question.

 

I am setting up a registration/login for my website with PHP and MYSQL. I have a register.html, register.php & a login.html, login.php.

 

I can successfully register a user (using register.html, register.php) into my database. Now, I am trying to authenticate the user with the login.html, login.php.

 

When I try to do so, however, I always recieve my error message "failed." It will not authenticate (despite several attempts of logging in with the same username and password of that which is in my database.)

 

Here is my code for login.php:

 

<?php
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "hub_info";
$dbuser = "xxxxxx";
$dbpass = "xxxxxx";

mysql_connect ( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

session_start();

$username = $_POST['username']; 
$password = md5($_POST['password']);  

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ra_info WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'");

if (mysql_num_rows($query)<1) { 
    print "failed";
    } else { 
        $_SESSION["username"]; 
        $_SESSION["password"]; 
        print "You are now logged in."; 
    } 
?>

 

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

thanks for the quick responses, guys

 

The problem was that i did not allocate enough space for the password column...i only gave 15 characters. I changed it to 50 and now it works fine. Thanks so much, I never would have realized that!
