I follow up a tutorial to learn more about php, in it's source code there is something which seems works at that time but not anymore. here is the code , please let me know what should i change in the code in order to make login process work (currently after entering a valid user name and pass and clicking login it freezes and show first page and not go to home.php
here is template/header.php:
<div class="container">
<!--Head wrap starts-->
<div id="head_wrap">
<!--Header starts-->
<div id="header">
<img src="images/logo.png" style="float:left;"/>
<form method="post" action="" id="form1">
<strong>Email:</strong>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required="required" />
<strong>Password:</strong>
<input type="password" id="pass" name="pass" placeholder="****" required="required"/>
<button type="submit" id="login">Login</button>
</form>
</div>
<!--Header ends-->
</div>
here is login.php
<?php
session_start();
include("includes/connection.php");
if(isset($_POST['login'])){
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['email']);
$pass = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['pass']);
$get_user = "select * from users where user_email='$email' AND user_pass='$pass'";
$run_user = mysqli_query($con,$get_user);
$check = mysqli_num_rows($run_user);
if($check==1){
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['email']);
$_SESSION['user_email']=$email;
echo "<script>window.open('home.php','_self')</script>";
}
else {
echo "<script>alert('Passowrd or email is not correct!')</script>";
}
}
?>
please note i have tried
echo "<script> window.location.href = 'home.php';</script>";
instead of
echo "<script>window.open('home.php','_self')</script>";
and still doesn't work, since it's tutorial and i have search through stackoverflow can't find any answer i appreciate your help.
This is your HTML code but with a submit button. You say all files are located in the same folder so this should work. I did not make any changes to login.php but it should run when the page is submitted.
<div class="container">
<!--Head wrap starts-->
<div id="head_wrap">
<!--Header starts-->
<div id="header">
<img src="images/logo.png" style="float:left;"/>
<form method="post" action="login.php" id="form1">
<strong>Email:</strong>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required="required" />
<strong>Password:</strong>
<input type="password" id="pass" name="pass" placeholder="****" required="required"/>
<input type="submit" id="login" name="login" value="Login">
</form>
</div>
<!--Header ends-->
</div>
</div>
Edit: I can't debug your entire project but after looking over some things I see you are not using the 'name' attribute. When a page is submitted a name/value pair is sent in the $_POST array. If you have no 'name' attribute nothing is sent. Start by adding the 'name' attribute. I have modified the above HTML code to show you how.
You have to use header(...) function but don't forget that your page keep to run at the end. Don't forget to use with die to stop your script. ;)
die(header("Location: home.php"))
or after 5 seconds :
header("refresh: 5; url=home.php");
if($check==1){
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['email']);
$_SESSION['user_email']=$email;
return 1;
}
else {
return 0;
}
and javascript check status 1 and 0 then window.location.href and window.open use
Check in your file..
1) header() must be called before any actual output is sent, either by normal HTML tags, blank lines in a file, or from PHP
2) Combine all your PHP codes and make sure you don't have any spaces at the beginning of the file.
3) after header('location: home.php'); add exit();
4) after sesssion_start() add ob_start();
