As a beginner, I recently attempted to develop a login system using PHP and MySQL. I successfully created a registration form and added a few users, but encountered issues when trying to create the login form. Every time I tried to log in, it displayed an error message stating "Your username or password is incorrect!". I have shared my code below and would greatly appreciate any assistance. My apologies if this question seems too basic :/
<?php
session_start();
include '.\includes\functions\db.php';
?>
<?php
$username = strtolower(mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['username']));
$password = strtolower(mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['password']));
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username' ";
$result = mysqli_query($db, $sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
$hash_pwd = $row['password'];
echo $hash_pwd;
echo $password;
$hash = password_verify($password, $hash_pwd);
if ($hash ==0) {
header("Location: ./index.php?error=check");
exit();
}else {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$hash_pwd'";
$result = mysqli_query($db, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) == 0) {
echo "Your username or password is incorrect!";
}else {
$_SESSION['id'] = $row['id'];
$_SESSION['username'] = $row['username'];
}
//header("Location: ./index.php");
}
?>
Here is my registration page:
<?php
//This Page is for registration of users
?>
<?php
// includes for all functions
include '.\includes\functions\db.php';
?>
<?php
//extracting data from the form
if(isset($_POST["register"])){
$username = $_POST['username'];
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
//Sanitizing received data
$username = strtolower(mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $username));
$firstname = strtolower(mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $firstname));
$lastname = strtolower(mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $lastname));
$email = strtolower(mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $email));
$password = strtolower(mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $password));
$encryptedpassword = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
//Checking for duplicate emails
$sql = "SELECT email FROM users WHERE email='$email'";
$result = mysqli_query($db, $sql);
$row = mysqli_num_rows($result);
//Checking for duplicate usernames
$sql2 = "SELECT username FROM users WHERE username='$username'";
$result2 = mysqli_query($db, $sql2);
$row2 = mysqli_num_rows($result2);
//Handling duplicate cases
if($row > 0 && $row2 > 0){
echo "Sorry...This email id and username is already taken!!!";
} elseif ($row > 0 ) {
echo "Sorry...This email id is already taken!";
} elseif ($row2 > 0) {
echo "Sorry...This Username is already taken!";
} else {
$query = mysqli_query($db, "INSERT INTO users (username, firstname, lastname, password, email, regdate) VALUES
('$username', '$firstname', '$lastname', '$encryptedpassword', '$email', '$date')");
if($query){
echo "Thank You! you are now registered.";
}
}
}
?>
