Login form for WHMCS

lotuszen

Hi,

I am trying to create an external login form for WHMCS i can use on any pages of my website...

but the code i am trying to implement doesn't work... :queasy:

Thanks in advance for telling me why! 😃

<?php
require("client/dbconnect.php"); 

if ($_SESSION['uid']) {
	echo "Connecté";
} else {
	echo  "
	<div id="login"> <a href="#" id="link" class="signin">Connexion</a>    <form class="drop">
          <label for="name">Adresse courriel :</label>
          <input type="text" name="email" class="required"/>
          <label for="password">Mot de passe :</label>
          <input type="password" name="password" />
          <p class="remember">
            <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox"/>
            Se souvenir de moi</p>
          <input type="submit" class="submit" value="Sign In" />
          <p><a href="#" class="tooltip">Oublié votre mot de passe?<span>Cliquez ici pour le réinitialiser!</span></a></p>
        </form>
      </div>
 ";

}  

?>

First problem I see is the parse error (hence why the color coding is all wrong) - you've got unescaped double quotes inside of a double-quote delimited string. Either change the delimiter used, escape the quotes, or just drop out of PHP mode at that point (since the block of text doesn't have any PHP variables/statements inside of it anyway).

Second problem I see is that you use $_SESSION but you apparently never started any session (e.g. via [man]session_start/man).

EDIT: Welcome to PHPBuilder! I'd greet you in French, but I've apparently forgotten all of what little French I ever learned. Oh well.. c'est la vie, y'know?

Hi,

I am very new to php...

...and learning better with examples ;-)

possible for you, or someone to post an example of how my code should be?

The session code doesn't seems to be a problem... it's mostly what's inside the echo...

Your first problem is, as I said, caused by literal double quotes appearing inside of a string that you used double quotes to delimit. Either switch to single quotes, escape all of the literal double quotes (e.g. put a "\" backslash in front of them), or simply drop out of PHP mode. As for that last option, I simply mean doing something like this:

<?php
if(something_interesting()) {
    // here goes some HTML:
?>
<marquee><blink><font color="pink">Welcome to my site!!!1!1!</font></blink></marquee>
<?php
}

Well of course not - you've got a parse error right now, which means none of your code is going to be executed at all. 🙂

However, unless 'client/dbconnect.php' calls [man]session_start/man, then your next problem will be with your session code... or lack thereof, since without calling [man]session_start/man first there won't be a session at all.
