Hey there stackoverflow community!
I'm currently working on a inter-game + inter-server project but I'm getting stuck on my authentication system. When I login with some correct details I get the error
Notice: Undefined index: myusername in C:\wamp\www
ew\panel.php on line 8
Notice: Undefined index: mypassword in C:\wamp\www
ew\panel.php on line 9
Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in C:\wamp\www
ew\panel.php on line 13
I dont know how to fix this so what i'm asking is How do i fix this?
This is the code I am using to check the login details:
<?php
ob_start();
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="mindfulbank"; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name="mindful_bank"; // Database name
$tbl_name="members"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("Database cannot connect securely, please check back later!");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("Database Cannot Be Selected");
// Define $myusername and $mypassword
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$password=$_POST['mypassword'];
$sha1password=sha1($password);
$mypassword=md5($sha1password);
// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
$_SESSION['myusername']=$myusername;
$_SESSION['mypassword']=$mypassword;
session_start();
header("location:panel.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
ob_end_flush();
?>
and the page that these errors acctually causes the error:
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['myusername'])){
header("location:logout.php");
}
$myusername=$_SESSION['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_SESSION['mypassword'];
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","mindfulbank","","mindful_bank");
$result = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT level FROM members WHERE password = '$mypassword' and username = '$myusername'");
$fname = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT name FROM members WHERE password = '$mypassword' and username = '$myusername'");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
if($row['admin'] == 1){
require 'panel/admindash.php';
}
else
{
require 'panel/userdash.php';
}
}
?>
Update the connection on the script used to check login details to mysqli
as mysql
is depreciated.
Once this is done change the mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
functions to mysqli_real_escape_string($your_connection, $myusername);
.
mysqli_real_escape_string
expects a db connection as required parameter.

Then add session_start();
to the top of the script used to check login details!

Hope this helps
You need a session_start() in the first file as well.
First two errors are occurring because you didn't write session_start()
before $_SESSION
in first script. Always write it at the top of your script. Last error is because you didn't get any result by running that query. Always check $result->num_rows > 0
before further operations.
