biscoe916 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I wrote a script to authorize users upon entry to my website. It works perfectly, but i was wondering if you guys could take a look at my code to see if there are any security holes. Code: <?php session_start(); header("Cache-control: private"); include("connect.php"); if(!$_SESSION["username"] && !$_POST["loginsubmit"]) { echo "Please log in"; ?> <form class="memberform" name="login_form" method="post" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> Username: <input id="stextBox" type="text" name="username" /> <br /> Password: <input id="stextBox" type="password" name="password" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="loginsubmit" value="Submit" /> </form> <?php exit; } if($_POST["loginsubmit"]) { $username = $_POST["username"]; $password = md5($_POST["password"]); $sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='". $username ."' AND password='". $password ."'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); $num = mysql_num_rows($result); if($num < 1) { session_destroy(); echo "Invalid username and/or password."; exit; } else { session_register("username"); session_register("password"); $records = mysql_fetch_array($result); if($records["active"] != 1) { session_destroy(); echo "Sorry ". $records["fname"]. " you're account hasn't been activated yet."; exit; } } } // if form submitted ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/95125-user-authentication/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
