how to use php sessions and svelte together - php

I'm using php for my application backend. I created a authentication system with two loginUser.php and loginCheck.php
In loginUser.php when username and password is correct:
session_start();
session_regenerate_id();
$_SESSION['bookstore_username'] = $_POST['username'];
session_write_close();
$response = array('status' => true, 'message' => 'user successfully authorized.', 'data' => $row);
echo json_encode($response);
Then in loginCheck.php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION["bookstore_username"]) && $_SESSION["bookstore_username"] == $_POST['username']) {
$response = array('status' => true, 'message' => "user is logged in.");
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
$response = array('status' => false, 'message' => "user is not logged in.");
echo json_encode($response);
}
When i testing it in Postman Application everything is fine and response showed me user logged in but in svelte app after doing a user login when i check login stat response is always false and session is null.
const checkUserIsLoggedIn = async (): Promise<void> => {
const url = ORIGIN + "Backend/api/user/loginCheck.php";
let data = new FormData();
data.append("username", userInformationStore?.get().username);
const res = await fetch(url, {
method: "POST",
body: data,
});
let response = await res.json();
console.log(response);
};

Assuming the session relies on a cookie, the only explanation I see for the Session being null is that the session cookie is not being passed back to your back-end. By default, fetch only allows same-origin cookies. Try adding the following option to your fetch operation to allow cookies to be passed in cross-origin requests:
const res = await fetch(url, {
method: "POST",
body: data,
credentials: "include",
});
See this paragraph in the Fetch API documentation for details.

Firebase Auth JS/PHP

I've been tasked to build a web interface for an Android app based on firebase.
I've got a handful of endpoints, that interact with the database (Cloud functions). To access those endpoints I need to authenticate an user with email and password[1], retrieve an accessToken[2] und authorize every request to the endpoints with an Authorization: Bearer {accessToken} header.
I use php and struggle to wrap my mind around how to manage authenticated user in my app.
TL;DR please see my final solution in php only. https://stackoverflow.com/a/52119600/814031
I transfer the accessToken via ajax in a php session, to sign the cURL requests to the endpoints.
Apparently there is no other way around than use the firebase JS auth (not as far as I understand[4]).
My question is: Is it enough to save the accessToken in a php session and compare it with every page load via an ajax POST request (see code below)?
What would be a more robust strategy to handle that in php?
Edit: A user pointed out that using classic php sessions with JWT tokens don't make much sense and I read up about that topic.
So regarding Firebase - is this something to consider?
https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/admin/manage-cookies
Firebase Auth provides server-side session cookie management for traditional websites that rely on session cookies. This solution has several advantages over client-side short-lived ID tokens, which may require a redirect mechanism each time to update the session cookie on expiration:
Here is what I got:
1. Login Page
As described in the Firebase examples[3]
function initApp() {
firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged(function (user) {
if (user) {
// User is signed in.
// obtain token, getIdToken(false) = no forced refresh
firebase.auth().currentUser.getIdToken(false).then(function (idToken) {
// Send token to your backend via HTTPS
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/auth/check',
data: {'token': idToken},
complete: function(data){
// data = {'target' => '/redirect/to/route'}
if(getProperty(data, 'responseJSON.target', false)){
window.location.replace(getProperty(data, 'responseJSON.target'));
}
}
});
// ...
}).catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});
} else {
// User Signed out
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '/auth/logout',
complete: function(data){
// data = {'target' => '/redirect/to/route'}
if(getProperty(data, 'responseJSON.target', false)){
// don't redirect to itself
// logout => /
if(window.location.pathname != getProperty(data, 'responseJSON.target', false)){
window.location.replace(getProperty(data, 'responseJSON.target'));
}
}
}
});
// User is signed out.
}
});
}
window.onload = function () {
initApp();
};
2. a php controller to handle the auth requests
public function auth($action)
{
switch($action) {
// auth/logout
case 'logout':
unset($_SESSION);
// some http status header and mime type header
echo json_encode(['target' => '/']); // / => index page
break;
case 'check':
// login.
if(! empty($_POST['token']) && empty($_SESSION['token'])){
// What if I send some bogus data here? The call to the Endpoint later would fail anyway
// But should it get so far?
$_SESSION['token'] = $_POST['token'];
// send a redirect target back to the JS
echo json_encode(['target' => '/dashboard']);
break;
}
if($_POST['token'] == $_SESSION['token']){
// do nothing;
break;
}
break;
}
}
3. the Main controller
// pseudo code
class App
{
public function __construct()
{
if($_SESSION['token']){
$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
// $user now holds all custom access rights within the app.
$this->user = $client->request(
'GET',
'https://us-centralx-xyz.cloudfunctions.net/user_endpoint',
['headers' =>
[
'Authorization' => "Bearer {$_SESSION['token']}"
]
]
)->getBody()->getContents();
}else{
$this->user = null;
}
}
public function dashboard(){
if($this->user){
var_dump($this->user);
}else{
unset($_SESSION);
// redirect to '/'
}
}
}
Note: I'm aware of this sdk https://github.com/kreait/firebase-php and I read a lot in the issues there and in posts here on SO, but I got confused, since there is talk about full admin rights etc. and I really only interact with the endpoints that build upon firebase (plus firebase auth and firestore). And I'm still on php 5.6 :-/
Thanks for your time!

I have to admit, the complexity of the firebase docs and examples and different services, got me so confused, that I thought, authentication for the web is only possible via JavaScript. That was wrong. At least for my case, where I just login with email and password to retrieve a Json Web Token (JWT), to sign all calls to the Firebase cloud functions. Instead of juggling with weird Ajax requests or set the token cookie via JavaScript, I just needed to call the Firebase Auth REST API
Here is a minimal case using the Fatfreeframework:
Login form
<form action="/auth" method="post">
<input name="email">
<input name="password">
<input type="submit">
</form>
Route
$f3->route('POST /auth', 'App->auth');
Controller
class App
{
function auth()
{
$email = $this->f3->get('POST.email');
$password = $this->f3->get('POST.password');
$apiKey = 'API_KEY'; // see https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup
$auth = new Auth($apiKey);
$result = $auth->login($email,$password);
if($result['success']){
$this->f3->set('COOKIE.token',$result['idToken']);
$this->f3->reroute('/dashboard');
}else{
$this->f3->clear('COOKIE.token');
$this->f3->reroute('/');
}
}
}
Class
<?php
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
class Auth
{
protected $apiKey;
public function __construct($apiKey){
$this->apiKey = $apiKey;
}
public function login($email,$password)
{
$client = new Client();
// Create a POST request using google api
$key = $this->apiKey;
$responsee = $client->request(
'POST',
'https://www.googleapis.com/identitytoolkit/v3/relyingparty/verifyPassword?key=' . $key,
[
'headers' => [
'content-type' => 'application/json',
'Accept' => 'application/json'
],
'body' => json_encode([
'email' => $email,
'password' => $password,
'returnSecureToken' => true
]),
'exceptions' => false
]
);
$body = $responsee->getBody();
$js = json_decode($body);
if (isset($js->error)) {
return [
'success' => false,
'message' => $js->error->message
];
} else {
return [
'success' => true,
'localId' => $js->localId,
'idToken' => $js->idToken,
'email' => $js->email,
'refreshToken' => $js->refreshToken,
'expiresIn' => $js->expiresIn,
];
}
}
}

Hope this helps. It is from my working system, which includes some extra features I've put in there along the way, but mostly it is directly from firebase so you should be able to follow along well enough.
Seems a much simpler route to take than your original one.
You really aren't supposed to use sessions in PHP when using tokens. Tokens should be sent in the header on every request (or a cookie works too).
Tokens work like this:
1. You sign in, the server mints a token with some information encoded
2. You send that token back on every request
Based on the information encoded in the token, the server can get information about the user. Typically a User ID of some sort is encoded in it. The server knows it's a valid token because of the way it's encoded.
Send the token on every request you need to make, then in PHP you can just pass that token to the other API

this.http.post doesn't not send params in angular 4

I need to create a login system, I try to send the params to the PHP server.
Angular app
return this.http.post<any>('/s/login/index.php', {
username: username,
password: password
}).map(user => {
console.log(username);
// login successful if there's a jwt token in the response
if (user) {
// store user details and jwt token in local storage to keep user logged in between page refreshes
}
return user;
});
}
PHP server
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
// Check if username is empty
if(empty(trim($_POST["username"]))){
$username_err = 'Please enter username.';
$resp->body->message=$username_err;
$resp=json_encode($resp);
echo $resp;
}
But the server always returns
{status: "400", body: {message: "Please enter username."}}
It is because you are not setting headers.
first import necessary modules
import {HttpClient,HttpHeaders} from '#angular/common/http';
import {URLSearchParams} from '#angular/http';
try it this way.
let headers = new Headers({ 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' });
let options = {
headers: headers
};
let body = new URLSearchParams();
body.set('username', username);
body.set('password', password);
return this.http.post<any>('/s/login/index.php', body, options).map(user => {
console.log(username);
// login successful if there's a jwt token in the response
if (user) {
// store user details and jwt token in local storage to keep user logged in between page refreshes
}
return user;
});
}
Tell me if it does not work. I am here !

What value should be passed with AsyncStorage?

I am currently a beginner of react native and I want to know if I wanted to login and store user data using AsyncStorage, what key and value should be passed?
AsyncStorage.setItem('key', 'value');
UserLogin = () =>{
const { username } = this.state ;
fetch('https://www.example.com/React/user-login.php', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
username: username,
})
}).then((response) => response.json())
.then((responseJson) => {
// If server response message same as Data Matched
if(responseJson === 'Data Matched')
{
login(username, password).then(authenticationToken => {
AsyncStorage.setItem('token', authenticationToken)
})
//Then open Profile activity and send user email to profile activity.
this.props.navigation.navigate('ProfileScreen', { username:username });
}
else{
Alert.alert(responseJson);
}
}).catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});
}
If I were to say if logged in, then AsyncStorage.setItem('key', 'value');, then that could work if I want to store say the user's username so that I can display it on their profile page?
AsyncStorage parameters are both strings, so you can store serialised json data or just a plain string.
// Some code that logs someone in and gets an authentication token which then is stored
login(username, password).then(authenticationToken => {
AsyncStorage.setItem('token', authenticationToken)
})
// then somewhere else in your code
AsyncStorage.getItem('token').then(authenticationToken => {
console.log(‘the token’, authenticationToken)
})

Ionic 2 giving wrong response while making post request with php and mysql

I'm doing login from an app using php and mysql. When I put the URL on the browser with credentials appended with it, if the credentials are valid, it prints correct response like success:true. If credentials are not valid, it prints success:false. But when I put do ionic serve and do a login from the app, it prints success:true on console all the time, even if the credentials are not valid.
This is my IONIC-2 code:
var headers = new Headers();
headers.append("Accept",'application/json');
headers.append('Content-Type','application/json');
let options = new RequestOptions({headers:headers});
let postParams={
username: logincreds.username,
password: logincreds.password,
}
this.http.post("http://vaishalishaadi.com/AppLogin.php", postParams, options)
.subscribe(data=>{
console.log(postParams);
console.log(data);
/*if(data.json().success=="success"){
}
else{
} */
}, error => {
console.log(error);
});
Following code is of PHP:
header('Content-type: application/json');
if($check){
session_start();
$_SESSION['u_id'] = $check->u_id;
$_SESSION['u_name'] = $check->u_firstname;
$login_response=["success"=>"true"];
//print(json_encode($login_response));
//echo $check->u_id;
$data[] = array(
'pram'=$username
'id' => $check->u_id,
'fname' => $check->u_firstname,
'lname' => $check->u_lastname,
);
$result = "{'success':true, 'data':" . json_encode($data) . "}";
}
else{
$result = "{'success':false}";
}
echo($result);
Found Solution Over It
Just changed the way I was passing parameters and also removed 'options' argument from post request.
let params = new URLSearchParams();
params.append('username',logincreds.username);
params.append('password',logincreds.password);
this.http.post(url, params)
.subscribe(data=>{
console.log(postParams);
console.log(data);
/*if(data.json().success=="success"){
}
else{
} */
}, error => {
console.log(error);
})
Use URLSearchParams instead of using array to collect parameters being passed to server

How to solve the error: MethodNotAllowedHttpException

I am using Symfony to connect with Google Plus. Here is my code about connecting google after login and get access token:
$app->match('/connect', function (Request $request) use ($app, $client) {
$token = $app['session']->get('token');
if (empty($token)) {
// Ensure that this is no request forgery going on, and that the user
// sending us this connect request is the user that was supposed to.
if ($request->get('state') != ($app['session']->get('state'))) {
return new Response('Invalid state parameter', 401);
}
// Normally the state would be a one-time use token, however in our
// simple case, we want a user to be able to connect and disconnect
// without reloading the page. Thus, for demonstration, we don't
// implement this best practice.
//$app['session']->set('state', '');
$code = $request->getContent();
// Exchange the OAuth 2.0 authorization code for user credentials.
$gPlusId = $request->get['gplus_id'];
$client->authenticate($code);
$token = json_decode($client->getAccessToken());
// Verify the token
$reqUrl = 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token=' .
$token->access_token;
$req = new Google_HttpRequest($reqUrl);
$tokenInfo = json_decode(
$client::getIo()->authenticatedRequest($req)->getResponseBody());
// If there was an error in the token info, abort.
if ($tokenInfo->error) {
return new Response($tokenInfo->error, 500);
}
// Make sure the token we got is for the intended user.
if ($tokenInfo->userid != $gPlusId) {
return new Response(
"Token's user ID doesn't match given user ID", 401);
}
// Make sure the token we got is for our app.
if ($tokenInfo->audience != CLIENT_ID) {
return new Response(
"Token's client ID does not match app's.", 401);
}
//$_SESSION['token']=$token;
// You can read the Google user ID in the ID token.
// "sub" represents the ID token subscriber which in our case
// is the user ID. This sample does not use the user ID.
$attributes = $client->verifyIdToken($token->id_token, CLIENT_ID)
->getAttributes();
$gplus_id = $attributes["payload"]["sub"];
// Store the token in the session for later use.
$app['session']->set('token', json_encode($token));
$response = 'Successfully connected with token: ' . print_r($token, true);
}
return new Response($response, 200);
})->method('POST');
In the html file I use ajax to call the previous PHP code:
connectServer: function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: window.location.href + '/connect?state={{ STATE }}',
cache:false,
contentType: 'application/octet-stream; charset=utf-8',
success: function(result) {
console.log(result);
// helper.people();
},
error:function(e){
console.log(e);
},
processData: false,
data: this.authResult.code
});
But I always get an error: MethodNotAllowedHttpException: No route found for "GET /connect": Method Not Allowed (Allow: POST).
How can I solve the error?
It's looks like this one: No route found for "GET /user/register": Method Not Allowed (Allow: POST)
You have to define requirements _method for you route, like:
routeName:
pattern: /yourPattern
defaults: { _controller: AcmeBundle:Sth:action }
requirements:
_method: POST|GET
