Thanks for the reply, the code was working previously but it just new for me that i found on the website sample. I am using on free web hosting to test my login before i would then buying my own website. Please can you confirm in which directory that mysql should be placed and should be called??
Something like this:
mark107.awardspace.com/login/login-exec.php
But I wasn't too sure, if you need to see my php code, here it is:
<?php
//Start session
session_start();
//Include database connection details
require_once('config.php');
//Array to store validation errors
$errmsg_arr = array();
//Validation error flag
$errflag = false;
//Connect to mysql server
$link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
if(!$link) {
die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
}
//Select database
$db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
if(!$db) {
die("Unable to select database");
}
//Function to sanitize values received from the form. Prevents SQL injection
function clean($str) {
$str = @trim($str);
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$str = stripslashes($str);
}
return mysql_real_escape_string($str);
}
//Sanitize the POST values
$login = clean($_POST['login']);
$password = clean($_POST['password']);
//Input Validations
if($login == '') {
$errmsg_arr[] = 'Login ID missing';
$errflag = true;
}
if($password == '') {
$errmsg_arr[] = 'Password missing';
$errflag = true;
}
//If there are input validations, redirect back to the login form
if($errflag) {
$_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
session_write_close();
header("location: login-form.php");
exit();
}
//Create query
$qry="SELECT * FROM members WHERE login='$login' AND passwd='".md5($_POST['password'])."'";
$result=mysql_query($qry);
//Check whether the query was successful or not
if($result) {
if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
//Login Successful
session_regenerate_id();
$member = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'] = $member['member_id'];
$_SESSION['SESS_FIRST_NAME'] = $member['firstname'];
$_SESSION['SESS_LAST_NAME'] = $member['lastname'];
session_write_close();
header("location: member-index.php");
exit();
}else {
//Login failed
header("location: login-failed.php");
exit();
}
}else {
die("Query failed");
}
?>
Hope you can help to get my situation to resolve.
Thanks,
Mark
