Can't update MYSQL database with new value from URL (using GET) - php

I need my database to update 'SID' row according to variable that it gets from url.
Right now, if I have link like this: http://localhost/index.php?sid=fdskdsfkl202klfdfkldsfsdlk2
It will show in SID input field this: fdskdsfkl202klfdfkldsfsdlk2
But when I press register, it always show: 'NoSidAttached' in the database.
I am missing something in the code but can't find what...
Full code from registration page including HTML and PHP.

<form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]); ?>" method="post">
Your form uses method="post", meaning the 'sid' will be in $_POST in this case. As mentioned in the comment, $_REQUEST as a combination of $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE is the best way to cover both cases. Or change the method of the form to "get".
One more thing:
if(mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt)){
session_start();
Please get rid of this second session_start(). Session is started before any output happens (you already did this correctly at the beginning of the file), this subsequent session_start does not do anything.

How to let user only delete their details and no one elses php

I created a very basic site where a user logs in and then has access to a table that they can edit. I want the user to be able to only delete their own details and no one elses, and I don't know what i'm supposed to add to the delete page so it only deletes the details of logged in user and doesn't delete anyone else's. At the moment it doesn't delete any details.
This is my register page

}
$del = mysqli_query($link,"delete from users where id = '$id'"); // delete query
mysqli_close($link); // Close connection
header("location:allcontacts.php"); // redirects to all records page
exit;
?>
What you need to do is to add session_start() function on the above of the delete page
use this $_SESSION["id"] session as you have assigned in login page
always check / compare logic before doing any operation so your code will be remain small, smart, simple ,readable and fast.

password_verify never returning true

so Im trying to set up a very simple account system. Part of that is that passwords are encrypted on registering via password_hash. The username and the hashed password gets stored in my database 'users'. When I try to login the password_verify never returns true even though Im 100% certain I used the right password.
Here is my login.php:
// Initialize the session
session_start();
// Check if the user is already logged in, if yes then redirect him to welcome page
if(isset($_SESSION["loggedin"]) && $_SESSION["loggedin"] === true){
header("location: welcome.php");
exit;
}
// Include config file
require_once "config.php";
// Define variables and initialize with empty values
$username = $password = "";
$username_err = $password_err = "";
// Processing form data when form is submitted
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
// Check if username is empty
if(empty(trim($_POST["username"]))){
$username_err = "Please enter username.";
} else{
$username = trim($_POST["username"]);
}
// Check if password is empty
if(empty(trim($_POST["password"]))){
$password_err = "Please enter your password.";
} else{
$password = trim($_POST["password"]);
}
// Validate credentials
if(empty($username_err) && empty($password_err)){
// Prepare a select statement
$sql = "SELECT idkunde, username, password FROM users WHERE username = ?";
if($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $sql)){
// Bind variables to the prepared statement as parameters
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "s", $param_username);
// Set parameters
$param_username = $username;
// Attempt to execute the prepared statement
if(mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt)){
// Store result
mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt);
// Check if username exists, if yes then verify password
if(mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt) == 1){
// Bind result variables
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $id, $username, $hashed_password);
if(mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt)){
echo $hashed_password;
if(password_verify($password, $hashed_password)){
// Password is correct, so start a new session
session_start();
// Store data in session variables
$_SESSION["loggedin"] = true;
$_SESSION["id"] = $id;
$_SESSION["username"] = $username;
// Redirect user to welcome page
header("location: welcome.php");
} else{

$password_err = "The password you entered was not valid.";
}
}
} else{

The config.php just sets up a connection to the database 'ebanking'
<?php
/* Database credentials. Assuming you are running MySQL
server with default setting (user 'root' with no password) */
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_NAME', 'ebanking');
/* Attempt to connect to MySQL database */
$link = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);
// Check connection
if($link === false){
die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
?>
Appreciate any help!
EDIT
So I found the error. I accidently set the maximum length of my password column to 24. Setting it to 255 resolved the issue.

PHP login script cannot decrypt password hash

I am implementing login system from
https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/php-tutorial/php-mysql-login-system.php
I successfully connected the config.php to the database mathbglogin. When I register everything goes smoothly but when I try to login I receive an error that the password is incorrect. The database structure is as following localhost > users > mathbglogin.
I tried to isolate the problem. My guess is that the password is not compared with hash in the right way(i'm new to php).
Login if
if(mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt)){
if(password_verify($password, $hashed_password)){
// Password is correct, so start a new session
session_start();
// Store data in session variables
$_SESSION["loggedin"] = true;
$_SESSION["id"] = $id;

// Redirect user to welcome page
header("location: welcome.php");
} else{
// Display an error message if password is not valid
$password_err = "The password you entered was not valid.";
}
}
I have attached the other scripts if this can help. My second guess is that the passwords are not encrypted right for which the register.php can be blamed.

My question is how to make the login.php logins the user.
The problem was that the password field wasn't long enough to hold the whole hash. I solved the issue by increasing the password field length from 48 to 8096. This solved the problem. Thanks to Dharman for pointing out the possible issue!

Insert statement only inserting some of the data to the database

I hope my title makes sense, cause I don't know how to phrase it any shorter.
I am doing a login and sign up form with parameters and hashing. I have used parameters before but never in a signup form.
So the issue it that when I make a new a user it ONLY inserts the password but not the username. I have tried to change the name of the username, I have checked the connection to the database is correct and I am simply lost of what to do now.
My database can be seen here:
$username = $password = $confirm_password = "";
$username_err = $password_err = $confirm_password_err = "";
// Processing form data when form is submitted
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
// Validate username
if(empty(trim($_POST["username"]))){
$username_err = "Please enter a username.";
} else{
// Prepare a select statement
$sql = "SELECT id FROM user WHERE username = ?";
if($stmt = mysqli_prepare($conn, $sql)){
// Bind variables to the prepared statement as parameters
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "s", $param_username);
// Set parameters
$param_username = trim($_POST["username"]);
// Attempt to execute the prepared statement
if(mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt)){
/* store result */
mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt);
if(mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt) == 1){
$username_err = "This username is already taken.";
} else{
$username = trim($_POST["username"]);
}
} else{
echo "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later.";
}
}
// Close statement
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
// Validate password
if(empty(trim($_POST['password']))){
$password_err = "Please enter a password.";
} elseif(strlen(trim($_POST['password'])) < 6){
$password_err = "Password must have atleast 6 characters.";
} else{
$password = trim($_POST['password']);
}
// Validate confirm password
if(empty(trim($_POST["confirm_password"]))){
$confirm_password_err = 'Please confirm password.';
} else{
$confirm_password = trim($_POST['confirm_password']);
if($password != $confirm_password){
$confirm_password_err = 'Password did not match.';
}
}
// Check input errors before inserting in database

empty($confirm_password_err)){

// Bind variables to the prepared statement as parameters
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "ss", $param_username,
$param_password);
// Set parameters
$param_username = $username;
$param_password = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

Hope you can help me, feel free to ask questions if I haven't made myself clear enough :)
Remove the following line
$param_username = $username;
Because you overwrite $param_username that is already set with trim($_POST["username"])
Have a nice day.
It turnes out the $username = $password = $confirm_password = ""; was clearing my textbox so I removed it and added a $username = $_POST["username"]; and then the code worked.

PHP creating a password reset function with html and php

I am new at PHP I am making a test admin panel and I would like to add a password reset via html and php 5.6
I don't want to have an email method included where the link is sent to someone.
The only items in my users table is
ID, USERNAME, PASSWORD, CREATED
I am working with this code snippet to give me some understanding of why and how php is operating on the backend.
In the following code, I am trying to just simply change the username and password for a user, but I am trying to modify this code by removing the check if username is already taken function, as I do not want to insert so I change it to UPDATE. I have root priv, but how would I remove the check username and just update the password? here is code
<?php
// Include config file
require_once 'config.php';
// Define variables and initialize with empty values
$username = $password = $confirm_password = "";
$username_err = $password_err = $confirm_password_err = "";
// Processing form data when form is submitted
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
// Validate username
if(empty(trim($_POST["username"]))){
$username_err = "Please enter a username.";
} else{
// Prepare a select statement
$sql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE username = ?";
if($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $sql)){
// Bind variables to the prepared statement as parameters
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "s", $param_username);
// Set parameters
$param_username = trim($_POST["username"]);
// Attempt to execute the prepared statement
if(mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt)){
/* store result */
mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt);
if(mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt) == 1){
$username_err = "This username is already taken.";
} else{
$username = trim($_POST["username"]);
}
} else{
echo "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later.";
}
}
// Close statement
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
// Validate password
if(empty(trim($_POST['password']))){
$password_err = "Please enter a password.";
} elseif(strlen(trim($_POST['password'])) < 6){
$password_err = "Password must have atleast 6 characters.";
} else{
$password = trim($_POST['password']);
}
// Validate confirm password
if(empty(trim($_POST["confirm_password"]))){
$confirm_password_err = 'Please confirm password.';
} else{
$confirm_password = trim($_POST['confirm_password']);
if($password != $confirm_password){
$confirm_password_err = 'Password did not match.';
}
}
// Check input errors before inserting in database
if(empty($username_err) && empty($password_err) &&
empty($confirm_password_err)){
// Prepare an insert statement
$sql = "UPDATE INTO users (username, password) VALUES (?, ?)";
if($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $sql)){
// Bind variables to the prepared statement as parameters
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "ss", $param_username,
$param_password);
// Set parameters
$param_username = $username;
$param_password = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT); //

// Attempt to execute the prepared statement
if(mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt)){
// Redirect to login page

} else{
echo "Something went wrong. Please try again later.";
}
}
// Close statement
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);

Seeing that tutorial link now that you posted in comments, you didn't follow it "to a T".
They have:
$sql = "UPDATE employees SET name=?, address=?, salary=? WHERE id=?";
and you have:
$sql = "UPDATE INTO users (username, password) VALUES (?, ?)";
and is not valid syntax for UPDATE.
which should look like this:
$sql = "UPDATE users SET username =?, password=? WHERE id =?";
and then passing the extra parameter in the binding.
Visit that tutorial again and follow it exactly as shown.
