Successful login variable not working

Recommended Posts

There is no row for any users I am trying to create, even though the db is telling me I am registered.

 

I am lost, It would be nice if this just worked. I saw some downloadable free php scripts for logons.

 

But not sure those include mysql. I will probably look for a downloadable script for file uploading.

 

What do you suggest? I would like to get this working soon.

 

May not be able to get over that rainbow because there are no instructions to create the mysql db for those.

How about this... Send me all your current files (a .ZIP file is probably easiest, if you know how to do that), which I believe would include:

 

-- login.php

-- register.php

-- mysql.php (you can blank out your DB details, I won't need them)

-- a dump of your current database, which you can get by logging in to PHPMyAdmin, selecting your database, and going to the "Export" tab. Just save the MySQL code PHPMyAdmin generates in a text file.

 

I can take a look and fix things if necessary. I imagine that your register script isn't working for some reason, and the easiest way for me to fix that is to have the files/db and play with it myself. If the register file isn't working, none of the rest will work.

OK, I've taken a look at things. Here's the corrected register.php page. Replace what you have with this:

 

<?php

include ('mysql.php');

if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) 
{
$username = mysql_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$password = mysql_escape_string(sha1($_POST['password']));

if (!empty ($username) && !empty ($password)) 
{
	mysql_query("INSERT INTO users (username, user_password, user_regdate) VALUES ('$username', '$password', 'time()')");
	echo 'you are now registered!';
}
else
{
 	echo 'you must enter a username and a password!';
}
}
else
{
echo '<form action="register.php" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" /><br />
Password: <input type="password" name="password" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" />
</form>';
}

?>

 

I had to update the mysql_query line so that it added to the database correctly -- you were missing a closing ")" and needed single quotes around the variables for it to work.

 

Once you've updated this page, visit it and create a new user. Then open the PHP page have I had you create which shows the contents of the 'users' table, and make sure there is a row for the new user in the table. Assuming a row shows up -- it should, this worked fine for me -- then visit login.php and log in.

Thanks those small corrections are in valuable and it works.

 

Now question? How to I insert an html link into members.php or login.php.

So that if users that have user accounts I want to link them to another page that will allow them to upload files.

I assume I will put all the other important links in index.htm.

I plan on trying another tut I found later to create a php file uploader.

One weird thing I found login.php stops users without accounts but members.php seems to welcome anyone.

There are a couple ways to do this... Probably the simplest is to have one central members page, and then choose which content to show based on who they are:

 

members.php

<?php // check to make sure user is logged in, if not, redirect them
   session_start();
   if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) { header("location: login.php"); } ?>

   ...regular html all clients can see here...

<?php    
   if ($username == "admin") { ?> ...HTML only admin user can see...  <?php } 
   else if ($username == "client1") { ?> ...HTML only admin client1 can see...  <?php } 
   else if ($username == "client2") { ?> ...HTML only admin client2 can see...  <?php }
?>

   ... regular html all clients can see here...

 

You would need to change your login page to redirect users to this page after they log in:

 

if (mysql_num_rows ($sql) > 0) 
{
   $_SESSION['loggedin'] = true;
   $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
   header("location: members.php"); 
}

Take a look at the code I posted above -- that should fix it if you are having issues. Your version of members.php seemed to work fine for me, though there was an error that appeared if the user wasn't logged in saying that the if statement was checking a variable that didn't exist.

Alternately, you could set up individual html pages for each of your clients, and then change your login.php function to redirect users to the correct page:

 

login.php

if (mysql_num_rows ($sql) > 0) 
{
   $_SESSION['loggedin'] = true;
   $_SESSION['username'] = $username;

   if ($username == "admin") { header("location: admin-home.php");  } 
   else if ($username == "client1") { header("location: client1-home.php"); } 
   else if ($username == "client2") { header("location: client2-home.php"); }
}

Then redirect users once they log in:

 

Edit your login.php file to redirect users to the members page rather than showing a "logged in" message

if (mysql_num_rows ($sql) > 0) 
{
   $_SESSION['loggedin'] = true;
   $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
   header("location: members.php"); 
}

 

And make this change to your members page:

 

<?php 
   // check to make sure user is logged in, if not, redirect them
   session_start();
   if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) { header("location: login.php"); } 
?>

...regular html all clients can see here, including links, images, etc...

Not to sound stupid but I am used to adding links with Kompozer.

What is the tag to create the link? I just want to create a local html file ie "reportuploads.html" then create a link on the members.php page to it.

 

<html>reportuploads.html<html> ? By the way the last changes work like charm. just need to know how to insert links to other web pages into members.php

That will show a paragraph (because of the <p> tags) with the text "Welcome to get a beef?".

 

I was under the impression that you know a bit of HTML, but it seems like you might want to take a look at the sample videos here that will get you started with HTML basics: http://killersites.com/web-design/

 

Tizag (http://www.tizag.com/htmlT/) and W3 Schools (http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp) also have useful HTML related tutorials and articles.

Now I'm semi up and running how would I create a form like this? I copied the fields from ripoff report.com. I want to be able to create a report with these options see below. It is a complaint form. This whole project has been for a friends consumer reports website.
