Protect form with session token - php

I wrote a script to protect my form with session token; however my script does not work if I try to validate form fields before checking for the token. Would someone help me figure out what is wrong with my script please?
<?php
session_start();
class TOKEN {
public static function generate() {
return $_SESSION['token'] = base64_encode(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(15));
}
public static function check($token) {
if (isset($_SESSION['token']) && $token === $_SESSION['token']) {
unset($_SESSION['token']);
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
?>
<?php
$display_form = FALSE;
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$username = $_POST['username'];
$userpass = $_POST['userpass'];
if (strlen($username) < 4) {
$error_name = 'required';
$display_form = true;
$validation_error = true;
}
if (strlen($userpass) < 8) {
$error_pass = 'required';
$display_form = true;
$validation_error = true;
}
if (!$validation_error) {
if (TOKEN::check($_POST['token'])) {
echo 'process form';
} else {
echo 'invalid security token';
}
}
} else {
$display_form = TRUE;
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if ($display_form == true) {
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="token" value="<?php echo TOKEN::generate(); ?>">
<input type="text" name="username" id="" placeholder="username">
<?php echo $error_name; ?>
<br>
<input type="password" name="userpass" id="" placeholder="Password">
<?php echo $error_pass; ?>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Sign in">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
?>

I suppose that the problem here is in the following.
You have token in the form and token in the session. They're equal.
When you fill the form with errors - your form loads again. But! In the session you have previous token, from point 1, and in the form you have new token.
You submit again and check different tokens.
So, the solution is to unset token always, no matter you have wrong or right values in the form.
Update:
I suppose it should be something like:
if (!$validation_error) {
// here token will be removed in `TOKEN::check`
if (TOKEN::check($_POST['token'])) {
echo 'process form';
} else {
echo 'invalid security token';
}
} else {
// remove token implicitly
TOKEN::remove();
}
And in TOKEN:
public static function check($token) {
$result = false;
if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
if ($token === $_SESSION['token']) {
$result = true;
}
// if token set - remove it
self::remove();
}
return $result;
}
public static function remove() {
unset($_SESSION['token']);
}

This code is very hard to read. I can't tell when if statements start and end. Also stop using classes for everything. Use procedural programming like a big boy.
Your issue is a simple one. $validation_error was not initialized in the outer scope. Meaning that it was not saved between if statments.
To fix this simply add $validation_error = false at the outer scope:
...
$display_form = FALSE;
$validation_error = false; // right here
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$username = $_POST['username'];
$userpass = $_POST['userpass'];
...

CSRF tokem for submit form

I'm generating a form submission security token in software.
The idea is to generate a token as soon as the user arrives on the page hosting the form
Allow the user to fill in the form
And only if the token initialized as soon as the user landed on the page is the same as the one in an input field, then run the code, otherwise no
This is to avoid CSRF
Methodology
1: Create a function that generates a token | create a file: config.php
function RandomToken($length = 32){
if(!isset($length) || intval($length) <= 8 ){
$length = 32;
}
if (function_exists('random_bytes')) {
return bin2hex(random_bytes($length));
}
if (function_exists('mcrypt_create_iv')) {
return bin2hex(mcrypt_create_iv($length, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM));
}
if (function_exists('openssl_random_pseudo_bytes')) {
return bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($length));
}
}
function Salt(){
return substr(strtr(base64_encode(hex2bin(RandomToken(32))), '+', '.'), 0, 44);
}
$token = (RandomToken())."\n".Salt()."\n";
2: include config.php, in the file hosting the form
3: write the rules
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['t'] = $token;
if ( ($_SESSION['t'] === $_POST['csrf_token_p']))
{
/* write code if this is correct */
}else{
/* write code if this it's not correct */
}
}
4: write the form
<form action="page.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="csrf_token_p" value="<?php echo $token ?>">
<input name="submit" value="modifica" type="submit">
</form>
error: I always get that the two tokens do not match. why?
edit part
config.php
<?php ob_start(); session_start();
/*
* https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.random-bytes.php
* funzione per la creazione di un codice unico contro i CSRF attack
* */
function RandomToken($length = 32){
if(!isset($length) || intval($length) <= 8 ){
$length = 32;
}
if (function_exists('random_bytes')) {
return bin2hex(random_bytes($length));
}
if (function_exists('mcrypt_create_iv')) {
return bin2hex(mcrypt_create_iv($length, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM));
}
if (function_exists('openssl_random_pseudo_bytes')) {
return bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($length));
}
}
function Salt(){
return substr(strtr(base64_encode(hex2bin(RandomToken(32))), '+', '.'), 0, 44);
}
$token = (RandomToken())."\n".Salt()."\n";
session_start();
$_SESSION['t'] = randomToken();
/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
form-page.php
<?php ob_start(); session_start();
include '../connection/cnt.php';
?>
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
session_start();
if (!empty($_POST))
{
if (!array_key_exists('csrf_token_p', $_POST))
{
$_POST['t'] = null;
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "p_tl.php?edit=Y";
</script>
<?php
}
if ($_SESSION['t'] !== $_POST['csrf_token_p'])
{
// BAD TOKEN! BAD!
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "p_tl.php?edit=N";
</script>
<?php
}
}
}
?>
<form id="validate" action="p_tl.php" method="post" class="needs-validation" novalidate>
<input style="display: " type="text" name="csrf_token_p" value="<?php echo $token ?>" class="form-control" id="validationCustom01"
required>
<input
style="background-color: #9da1a4;color: #fff;"
name="submit"
value="modifica"
class="btn btn-sm"
type="submit">
</form>
This is wrong:
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
session_start();
$_SESSION['t'] = $token;
You need to start the session in config, and create and save the token there. Because that is the flow that will create the form. Otherwise, a different session will be opened upon submit.
So:
config.php
session_start();
$token = randomToken();
$_SESSION['t'] = $token;
print "<form...";
// In produzione, cambia questo in "hidden", non "text"
print "<input type=\"text\" name="csrf_token_p" value=\"{$token}\" />";
// The rest of the form with submit button
print "</form>";
form_receive.php
session_start();
if (!empty($_POST)) {
if (!array_key_exists('csrf_token_p', $_POST)) {
$_POST['t'] = null;
}
if ($_SESSION['t'] !== $_POST['csrf_token_p']) {
// BAD TOKEN! BAD!
die("Token mismatch");
}
// Okay.

PHP form with multiple steps and validation

I'm new to PHP and I'm trying to create an easy form that has multiple steps. For each step, a validation of the input is happening before the user is directed to the next page. If the validation fails, the user should stay on the same page and an error message should be displayed. In the end, all entries that the user has made should be displayed in an overview page.
What I have been doing to solve this, is to use a boolean for each page and only once this is true, the user can go to the next page. This is not working as expected unfortunately and I guess it has something to do with sessions in PHP... I also guess that there's a nicer way to do this. I would appreciate some help!
Here's my code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
<style>
.error {color: #FF0000;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['$entryOne'] = "";
$_SESSION['$entryOneErr'] = $_SESSION['$emptyFieldErr'] = "";
$_SESSION['entryOneIsValid'] = false;
$_SESSION['$entryTwo'] = "";
$_SESSION['$entryTwoErr'] = "";
$_SESSION['entryTwoIsValid'] = false;
// Validation for first page
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST" && isset($_POST['submitEntryOne'])) {
if (!empty($_POST["entryOne"])) {
// Check for special characters
$_SESSION['$entryOne'] = removeWhitespaces($_POST["entryOne"]);
$_SESSION['$entryOneErr'] = testForIllegalCharError($_SESSION['$entryOne'], $_SESSION['$entryOneErr']);
// If error text is empty set first page to valid
if(empty($_SESSION['$entryOneErr'])){
$_SESSION['$entryOneIsValid'] = true;
}
} else {
// Show error if field hasn't been filled
$_SESSION['$emptyFieldErr'] = "Please enter something!";
}
// Validation for second page
} else if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST" && isset($_POST['submitEntryTwo'])) {
if (!empty($_POST["entryTwo"])) {
// Check for special characters
$_SESSION['$entryTwo'] = removeWhitespaces($_POST["entryTwo"]);
$_SESSION['$entryTwoErr'] = testForIllegalCharError($_SESSION['$entryTwo'], $_SESSION['$entryTwoErr']);
// If error text is empty set second page to valid
if(empty($_SESSION['$entryTwoErr'])){
$_SESSION['$entryTwoIsValid'] = true;
}
} else {
// Show error if field hasn't been filled
$_SESSION['$emptyFieldErr'] = "Please enter something!";
}
}
//Remove whitespaces at beginning and end of an entry
function removeWhitespaces($data) {
$data = trim($data);
return $data;
}
//Check that no special characters were entered. If so, set error
function testForIllegalCharError($wish, $error){
$illegalChar = '/[\'\/~`\!##\$%\^&\*\(\)_\-\+=\{\}\[\]\|;:"\<\>,\.\?\\\]/';
if (preg_match($illegalChar,$wish)) {
$error = "Special characters are not allowed";
} else {
$error = "";
}
return $error;
}
?>
<?php if (isset($_POST['submitEntryOne']) && $_SESSION['$entryOneIsValid'] && !$_SESSION['$entryTwoIsValid']): ?>

<?php elseif (isset($_POST['submitEntryTwo']) && $_SESSION['$entryTwoIsValid']): ?>
<h2>Overview</h2>

You are setting your session variables to "" at the top of your script.
Check if your variable is set before setting to blank.
Check if Session Variable is Set First
<?php
//If variable is set, use it. Otherwise, set to null.
// This will carry the variable session to session.
$entryOne = isset($_REQUEST['entryOne']) ? $_REQUEST['entryOne'] : null;
if($entryOne) {
doSomething();
}
?>
Tips
Then you can use <?= notation to also echo the variable.
Do this $_SESSION['variable'] instead of $_SESSION['$variable'] (you'll spare yourself some variable mistakes).
<h2>Second page</h2>
<p>Entry from first Page: <?= $entryOne ?></p>
Example Script
This could be dramatically improved, but for a quick pass:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
//Check that no special characters were entered. If so, set error
function hasIllegalChar($input){
$illegalChar = '/[\'\/~`\!##\$%\^&\*\(\)_\-\+=\{\}\[\]\|;:"\<\>,\.\?\\\]/';
if (preg_match($illegalChar, $input)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
session_start();
// Destroy session and redirect if reset form link is pressed.
if(isset($_GET['resetForm']) && $_GET['resetForm'] == "yes")
{
echo "SESSION DESTROY";
session_destroy();
header("Location: ?");
}
// Session
$page = isset($_SESSION['page']) ? $_SESSION['page'] : 1;
$errors = [];
// Value history.
$valueOne = isset($_SESSION['valueOne']) ? $_SESSION['valueOne'] : null;
$valueTwo = isset($_SESSION['valueTwo']) ? $_SESSION['valueTwo'] : null;
// Clean inputs here
$fieldOne = isset($_REQUEST['fieldOne']) ? trim($_REQUEST['fieldOne']) : null;
$fieldTwo = isset($_REQUEST['fieldTwo']) ? trim($_REQUEST['fieldTwo']) : null;
// First form
if ($page == 1) {
// If field two is submitted:
if ($fieldOne) {
//Validate inputs
if(hasIllegalChar($fieldOne)) {
$errors[] = "You entered an invalid character.";
}
if (count($errors) == 0 ){
$valueOne = $_SESSION['valueOne'] = $fieldOne;
$page = $_SESSION['page'] = 2;
}
}
}
// Second form

// If field two is submitted:

You can run the following command to test out the page without using a fancy tool like WAMP or LAMP.
php -S localhost:8000 index.php
You can now access in the browser at http://localhost:8000.

while making login page, I am unable to redirect to another page

There is an error while redirecting the page from login to index(i.e server error // error 500). I used redirect_to function to call function.php from login.php file and i have included header function in function.php file. unfortunately, there is server error.I tried to solve it but i could not.i have posted my all four file.

error message
remove {} and put".." in

instead of
header("Location:".$location);
You have to redirect to full URL so Try this,
$url = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
redirect_to($url."index.php");
As Gyandeep Mentioned above change your function,too.
function redirect_to($location){
header('Location:'.$location);
exit();
}
Hope this helps.

Registration page not processing data to database

Its all due to div tags:
2 divisions closed within the form tag but they are opened outside the form tag.
So try by enclosing the whole form within one div(regbox) Including submit.
And make sure that no div is closed within form tag which is opened outside form tag.

Always the same error message

Its a log in form, and a class_login.php file. I got a token, to verify the form submissions. Its a random string and i send it hidden. I got 3 error messages on my class. Invalid form submission. Invalid form data. and Invalid Username/Password. The problem is doesnt matter what i do i get stuck on the first error invalid form submission. Its like the token i send never matches the session token. But when i remove that part i always get the invalid form data, even if i write a correct existing user/password. Need some help here please:

I suspect that you forgot to start the session using session_start(). Please show us how you use this class. (The file where you use it.)
Edit
Disregard the above. The problem here is that you are setting the $_SESSION['ltoken'] to a new random value on each page load. That's why the posted value (this is one generation 'behind') never matches.
Separate out this code:
return (!isset($_SESSION['ltoken']) || $this->ltoken != $_SESSION['ltoken'])? 0 : 1;
It may or may not be accurate, but it's not readable and makes your debugging harder. I think it may be throwing you off because you're using the if or else as the second condition.
if( ! isset( $_SESSION['ltoken'] ) return false;
return ( $this->ltoken != $_SESSION['ltoken']) ? 0 : 1;
