I'm new to php, especially databases, so this code probably contains a lot of errors. I amt trying to check the username and password from a form on the previous page. When this code runs nothing comes up, and everything that is written after the php code does not appear in the source.
PHP:
<?php
//Connect To Database
$hostname='removed for security reasons';
$username='removed for security reasons';
$password='removed for security reasons';
$dbname='Main9182';
$usertable='user';
$user = $_POST["user"] ;
$pass = $_POST["pass"] ;
mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) OR DIE ('Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.');
mysql_select_db($dbname);
//Check Username
$query = 'SELECT Username FROM $usertable';
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($result = $user) ;
{
$queryp = 'SELECT Password FROM $usertable' ;
$presult = mysql_query($queryp) ;
//Check Password
while($presult = $pass) ;
{
setcookie("access", "Yes", time()+3600);
echo "Login successful, click" ;
echo "<a href='news-edit.php'>here</a>" ;
echo "to continue" ;
echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>" ;
echo "<!--" ;
echo "windows.location='news-edit.php ;" ;
echo "// -->" ;
echo "</script>" ;
}
while($presult != $pass) ;
{
echo "incorrect username or password, please" ;
echo "<a href='login.php'>retry</a>" ;
}
}
while($result != $user) ;
{
echo "incorrect username or password, please" ;
echo "<a href='login.php'>retry</a>" ;
}
?>
