I am currently working on a project, but I'm just stuck on something. I know there are a lot of questions related to this, but I couldn't find any useful information.
I'm new to PHP and I need to write php code which changes pages and doesn't change the URL (i.e if I am going to login.php, the URL should still be home.php) and I need to use the GET method.
I'm sorry if there are some mistakes in my code, but thanks for any help.
Here is my home.php file:
<?php
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Layout.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Menu.css" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html"; charset=utf-8" />
<title> Title </title>

<body>
<div id="Holder"></div>
<div id="Header"></div>
<div id="NavBar">
<nav>
<ul>
<li> Home </li>
<li>Login </li>
<li>Register </li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
<div id="Content">
<div id="PageHeading">
<h1> Welcome to HOME page </h1>
</div>
</div>
<div id="Footer"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here is my login.php file:
<?php
session_start();
$db = mysqli_connect ("localhost", "root", "","information1");
if (isset($_POST['Register'])){
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['username']);
$password = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['password']);
$sql = "SELECT username, password FROM user WHERE username='$username' AND
password='$password'";
$base =mysqli_query ($db, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($base) == 1) {
header ("location: nav_menu.php");
}
else
{
echo "Passwords does not match";
}
}
?>

i'm having trouble with my code, i want it to send a user their username via email when they have forgotten it.
What it does:
Retrieves user information from database
Send HTML Email to User's email
What it doesn't do:
Display the user's login username when sent to the email.
The PHP code is below for the page "forgot-username.php"
<?php
require_once('../../Connections/localhost.php');
require('../../PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
if(isset($_POST) & !empty($_POST)){
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username'], $localhost);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM database.users WHERE users.email = '$email'";
$res = mysql_query($sql, $localhost) or die(mysql_error());
$count = mysql_num_rows($res);
if($count == 1){
$r = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
$username = $r['username'];
$to = $r['email'];
$subject = "Your Recovered Username";
$message = file_get_contents("email_template.html");
$headers = 'From: Your name <info#address.com>';
if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)){
header('Location: username-sent.html');
}else{
echo "Failed to Recover your email, try again";
}
}else{
echo "email does not exist in database";
}
}
?>

Everything does as it should but the username doesn't show up, instead "$username" shows up in the email.
Someone please help. Thanks in advance.
First of all, email_template.html is an .html file, you need to change it to .php file.
Second, you are getting the file contents to variable how would you expect $username variable to be in same scope ?
Probable solution would be :
Get the file content and then replace the $username in your .html file content with $username value.
$message = file_get_contents("email_template.html");
$message = str_replace('$username', $username, $message);
file_get_contents() function does not parse the contents. SO you have to add this line after you get contents into $message :
$message = str_replace('$username', $username, $message);
And I suggest that you replace $username in your html by something like %USERNAME% and you use it like that :
$message = str_replace('%USERNAME%', $username, $message);
You can't use PHP code inside a HTML document. Any PHP code in HTML document will parse as a string.
Change file extension for 'email_template.html' to. Php:
email_template.php
Note that now you will have to use PHP echo to print any HTML. I suggest to read how php works: http://www.php.net
I am currently creating a website that will allow the user to log in using a username only, no password is required. Once the user has typed their name into the form, their name should then be placed on all of the pages they then visit until they log out.
The problem/s I am facing is that the username is not showing on the other pages once logged in. Instead I have been getting problems such as errors (Notice: Undefined index: username in /ceri/homes1/s/sec17/public_html/cs25010/home.php on line 41) and the nothing showing up at all.
Here is the code for the login page:
<?php
session_save_path("/aber/sec17/public_html/cs25010/tmp");
session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION['username'])) {
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$_SESSION["username"] = $_POST["username"];
header("Location: home.php");
}
}
?>

Heres what it currently look like when you log in:
You have a typo. Otherwise default method for form method is get.
Change:
<form action="home.php" method"post">
To this:
<form action="home.php" method="post">
Below is the code for the home page (index.php), at the top of the home page, I want the user to be able to login, I have currently got the form set up but I am wondering how I will display this on other pages.

You can use a conditional to check is the session username is set, and if it is, then you hide the login form. Something like:
<?php if (isset($_SESSION['username']): ?>
<h1>You are logged in!</h1>
<?php else: ?>
<form>
...
</form>
<?php endif; ?>
My favicon will not show up on three different web browsers opera, Firefox, and Chrome and I have cleared cookies and cache so it’s not that. This started happening after I pointed my noip my domain name. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it?
http://404tool.dns.net has the favicon
http://404tool.com favicon is gone

When I run the site, this dissapears on it:
<?php
echo $_SESSION["UserID"];
?>
I don't know why, it seems obvious it should work, it did in a video I watched? It kind of works when I make it:
<?php
echo '$_SESSION["UserID"]';
?>
But then it just echo's:
$_SESSION["UserID"]
And not the actual session id

It is usually best practices to start the session in the beginining of the document and not in the middle. However, your issue is that when you make the query, it does not bring in the variables $UN and $PW. Since you started it off with a " then, PHP will not parse the inside of it. You can "pause" it with: "select * from user where Username='" . $UN . "' AND Password='" . $PW . "'"
So, the session is never being properly set.
However, since the above method is unconventional, and since you are doing authentication, you should be using prepared statements. http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mysql_prepared_statements.asp
