its my first time creating a login page. I want users to login, then the page redirects to the customer account page, if they have a account. I have added echo's so i can see whats happening. I have a "Logged in successfully" alert that works perfectly when i login. The page just does not redirect.
HTML
<section class="container">
<form id="myform " class="Form" method="post" action="login.php" accept-charset="utf-8">
<!-- <div id="first">-->
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email Address" value='' required>
<input class ="login-field" type="password" id="pass1" name="pass1" value="" placeholder="Password" maxlength="30" required>
<input type="submit" name="login" value="login" class="btn ">
<br>
</form>
PHP
<?php
session_start();
require ('./mysql.inc.php');
?>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['login']))
//database varianbles
$c_email = $_POST['email'];
$c_password = $_POST['pass1'];
// select login details
$sel_c = "SELECT * FROM Cus_Register WHERE Cus_Email='$c_email' AND Cus_Password='$c_password'";
$run_c = mysqli_query($dbc, $sel_c);
//check if customer is on databse
$check_customer = mysqli_num_rows($run_c);
if ($check_customer == 0) {
echo "<script> alert('password or email is incorrect please try again')</script>";
exit();
}
else{
$_SESSION['Cus_Email'] = $c_email;
echo "<script> alert ('Logged in successfully')</script>";
echo "<script>window.open('./customer/Cus_Account.php'.'_self') </script>";
}
?>
Do you intend window.open('./customer/Cus_Account.php'.'_self') to be window.open('./customer/Cus_Account.php', '_self')?
window.open takes a location and a target parameter and in JavaScript parameters are separated by a comma, not a full stop. In this case './customer/Cus_Account.php' is the location and '_self' is the target.
You may use header() to redirect
else
{
$_SESSION['Cus_Email'] = $c_email;
header('Location: customer/Cus_Account.php');
exit();
}
hope it helps:)
