I have been struggling with this issue since last night, so I finally decided to reach out to ask for your help.
Can anyone guide me on how to solve this problem? Are there any mistakes in the code provided below? I'm fairly new to PHP and would appreciate any assistance.
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect($HOST,$USER,$PASS) Or Die ("Could not connect to the server");
mysql_select_db($DBNAME, $connection )Or Die ("Could not connect to the server");
error_reporting(0);
if ($_POST['Register']);{
if($_POST['Username'] && $_POST['Password']);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Username']);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string(hash("sha512",$_POST['Password']));
$name ='';
if($_POST['Name']){
$name = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_POST[name]));
}
$check = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM 'users' WHERE 'Username'='$username'"));
if ($check != '0'){
die("Uh Oh! That Username has already taken! Try <i>$username" . rand (1,50) . "</i> instead! <a href='register.php'>← Back </a>" );
}
if (!ctype_alnum($username)){
die("Uh hum ! Your username conatins special characters unfortunately they are not permitted ! Only letters and numbers are allowed! <a href='register.php'>← Back </a>");
}
if (strlen($username) >20){
die("Username Cannot contain more than 20 characters <a href='register.php'>← Back </a>");
}
$salt = hash("sha512", rand() .rand(). rand());
mysql_query("INSERT INTO 'users' ('Username','Password','Name','Salt') VALUES('$username','$password','$name','$salt')");
set_cookie("c_user", hash("sha512",$username),time() + 24 * 60 * 60, "/" );
set_cookie("c_salt", $salt, $time () + 24 * 60 * 60, "/");
die ("Congrts ! you are now ready to use Hack With Nick! You are now logged in !");
}
