I am using Mac OS, mamp, phpmyadmin to create a simple login form. I have created my database in php myadmin and the first user. I am certain the username and password are correct (as per my database) but I receive the error that the password is incorrect.
I was loosely following this tutorial https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/php-tutorial/php-mysql-login-system.php
I believe this may be causing the error but i'm unsure.
$hashed_password = $row["password"];
if(password_verify($password, $hashed_password)){
<?php
// Initialize the session
session_start();
// Check if the user is already logged in, if yes then redirect him to welcome page
if(isset($_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.";

$username = trim($_POST["username"]);
}
// Check if password is empty

I expect to be taken to my welcome screen.
To fix I replaced
$hashed_password = $row["password"];
if(password_verify($password, $hashed_password)){
with
$hashed_password = password_hash( $_POST["password"], PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
if(password_verify($_POST["password"], $hashed_password)){
This hash passwords before storing them in db then verifies the plan text against the hashed password
Verify method is expecting the hashed password. Your $row["password"]contains hashed password (if you use password_hash() function in user registration) while the password received with $_POST is a plain text password.
Use the following:
if (password_verify($_POST["password"], $row["password"])) {
// User authorized
} else {
// User non authorized
}
Related
so Im trying to set up a very simple account system. Part of that is that passwords are encrypted on registering via password_hash. The username and the hashed password gets stored in my database 'users'. When I try to login the password_verify never returns true even though Im 100% certain I used the right password.
Here is my login.php:
// Initialize the session
session_start();
// Check if the user is already logged in, if yes then redirect him to welcome page
if(isset($_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;

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.
I want to be able to redirect a user upon login to a web page based on their role assigned to them. I can Register the user with a role in it saves to my database. So in my database I have
------------------------------------------------
|id | username | password | role | created_at|
------------------------------------------------
| 1 | Admin | ******* | Test | date |
------------------------------------------------
And then in my login form I have:
<?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;

And when I try to log in with test it doesn't redirect me the to test.php it just takes me back to the login.php page.
Not sure where I went wrong here?
Thanks!
Use the third parameter of header function which is the status code. Use a temporary redirection code, in your case, a 303 See Other looks fine.
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;
$_SESSION["username"] = $username;
// 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!
So, I have a login page (login.php)
<?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: asdasd.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
$sql = "SELECT id, felhasznalonev, jelszo FROM diakok WHERE felhasznalonev = ?";
if($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)){
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: asdasd.php");
} else{
// Display an error message if password is not valid
$password_err = "The password you entered was not valid.";
}
}
} else{
// Display an error message if username doesn't exist
$username_err = "No account found with that username.";
}
} else{
echo "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later.";
}
}
// Close statement
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);

With that, I can login to accounts which are created by felvetel.php:
<?php
$teljes_nev = $_POST['teljes_nev'];
$kategoria = $_POST['kategoria'];
$felhasznalonev = $_POST['felhasznalonev'];
$idcske = "NULL";
header("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8");
if (!$teljes_nev) {
echo "Kérem írja be a diák nevét.";
exit;
}
if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$teljes_nev = addslashes($teljes_nev);
$felhasznalonev = addslashes($felhasznalonev);
$jelszo_alap = rand(1000,9999);
$jelszo = password_hash($jelszo_alap, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
}
# $adatbazis = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'diakok');
$adatbazis->set_charset('utf8');
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
echo "Nem sikerült csatlakozni az adatbázishoz. (1-es hibakód)";
}
$lekerdezes = "INSERT INTO diakok VALUES
('".$felhasznalonev."', '".$teljes_nev."', '".$jelszo."', '".$kategoria."', '".$idcske."', '".$idcske."' , '".$idcske."' ,'".$idcske."', '".$idcske."')";
$talalat = $adatbazis->query($lekerdezes);
if ($talalat) {
echo $teljes_nev." nevű diák sikeresen felkerült az adatbázisba! (A diák jelszava ".$jelszo_alap.")";
} else {
echo "Hiba! A diákot nem sikerült hozzáadni az adatbázishoz.";
}
$adatbazis->close();
?>
My problem is that it says "The password you entered was not valid." while I write the correct password.
For example, I created a test user called admin.pelda and its password without password_hash() is 2161.
Now when I try to log in the account, it gives the invalid password message to me.
Any ideas to fix it?
(My config.php is okay)
The problem was that the hashed password is really long, and in the database, the password's max length was set to 15.
My accounts are created via game, not by register.php, and game allows me only to register via SHA1 and I want to modify the login system to take password hashes in SHA1. I don't know how to modify verifypassword into SHA1.
I want login.php to read SHA1 passwords.
For example, in MySQL:
$query = "SELECT * FROM `users`
WHERE username='$username' and password='".sha1($password)."'";
Code:
<?php
// 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
$sql = "SELECT username, password FROM users WHERE username = :username";
if($stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql)){
// Bind variables to the prepared statement as parameters
$stmt->bindParam(':username', $param_username, PDO::PARAM_STR);
// Set parameters
$param_username = trim($_POST["username"]);
// Attempt to execute the prepared statement
if($stmt->execute()){
// Check if username exists, if yes then verify password
if($stmt->rowCount() == 1){
if($row = $stmt->fetch()){
$hashed_password = $row['password'];
if(password_verify($password, $hashed_password)){
/* Password is correct, so start a new session and
save the username to the session */
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
header("location: welcome.php");
} else{
// Display an error message if password is not valid
$password_err = 'The password you entered was not valid.';
}
}
} else{
// Display an error message if username doesn't exist
$username_err = 'No account found with that username.';
}
} else{
echo "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later.";
}
}
// Close statement
unset($stmt);
}
// Close connection
unset($pdo);
}
?>
