PHP form-calling function failing to work properly - php

I have my index.php form and if a valid student name and student number are entered I'd like "Student name and number are valid." to be echoed.
I have validated the student names and student numbers. However, even when entering a valid student name and student number the message echoed is "The information you have entered is not valid. Please enter your information again."
I'm calling the function validateStudent but I must be calling it in the wrong place or incorrectly. This function is called towards the end of the PHP scrip and just before the HTML starts. Thank you.
<?php

Your code has a logical error:
if (isset ($_POST[$studentname], $_POST[$studentnumber])) {
validateStudent($_POST['$studentname'], $_POST['$studentnumber']);
echo 'Student name and number are valid.\n';
}
else {
echo '<p style="color: red; text-align: center; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;">**The information you have entered is not valid. Please enter your information again.**</p>';
}
your code should be:
if (isset ($_POST['studentname'], $_POST['studentnumber'])) {
if (validateStudent($_POST['studentname'], $_POST['studentnumber'])){
echo 'Student name and number are valid.\n';
}
else {
echo '<p style="color: red; text-align: center; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;">**The information you have entered is not valid. Please enter your information again.**</p>';
}
}
also you need a form to post your variables studentname and studentnumer like:
<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="studentname"/>
<input type="text" name="studentnumber"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit"/>
</form>
Your output is because your variables $_POST['studentname'] and $_POST['studentnumber'] are not set.

Password hasing in PHP login system

I´m not very expirence in programming.
I want to build a login system in PHP with some security mesures on it. I consult a video on youtube to help me and I found this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIO0pmMTJ6Y&list=PLiJgIxJAg1VZqxDFL1Lp9VTm8PRfFeQ-o&index=18&t=5666s
The question is that don´t include any password hashing function, so i add it myself on the signup.php ant it works !!! But now, i´m not able to login to the site with a password created on th signup page. I try to chang the login.php code but don´t have success. What I have to do to resolve?

I won't answer directly, but here is the doc for hashing password with php:
first
// let's say you have a $passwordToHash variable
$passwordHashed = password_hash($passwordToHash, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
then, you could verify that you passwordHashed is equal to passwordToHash (when you want to check if a password is in your db for ex)
// true or false
password_verify($passwordToHash, $passwordHashed)

PHP Contact form Validation / URL issue

I have a php contact form with validation but I have my .htaccess set so it strips the .php from the url so the url looks cleaner (like wp urls). The form works great except that when the user commits a validation error and presses "submit", the form validates fine, but it reloads the url with the .php extension and so if they fix their errors and submit again, my "outside url" hacking php code kicks in and doesn't send the form because the url's no longer match.
How can I either perform the validation without the page "reloading" or make it validate and reload without the .php extension in the url??

I figured out a solution. I went back to w3 School to see exactly what $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] does in form validation and it says this:
What is the $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] variable?
The $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] is a super global variable that returns the filename of the currently executing script.
What is the htmlspecialchars() function?
The htmlspecialchars() function converts special characters to HTML entities. This means that it will replace HTML characters like < and > with < and >. This prevents attackers from exploiting the code by injecting HTML or Javascript code (Cross-site Scripting attacks) in forms.
So I thought, if the variable $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] is returning the filename (in this case - contact.php, there lies my problem so just replace $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] with contact without the .php extension like below:
<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(contact);?>" id="contactform">
And Voilà, it worked! But I'm not sure if this workaround creates a vulnerability for hackers.
Remove action value to submit on self page.
<form method="post" action="" id="contactform">
I hope this will work

Unable to store data in the database

I am creating a PHP registration form using AJAX, the below code that I have pasted isn't working properly. I am literally new to this AJAX concept
When I click the register button it won't respond and do anything, and even in the database the values are not getting stored. I have searched a lot for this AJAX concept.
But I don't seem to get the result what I want. Please, can any one help me. Where am I actually doing the wrong thing? Thanks in advance!

The problem is when you run your index.php file for the first time , the php part gets executed.So make a new file for php part.

?>
PHP code which writes form data to json is:
$file = dirname(__FILE__).'/validation-data.json';
$file_content = file_put_contents($file, json_encode($_REQUEST, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));
Whenever I submit the data of any one form, it gets written to json file successfully. This is the example json:
{
"name": "asd",
"email": "test#attendize.website",
"website": "esdfs",
"comment": "qasdas",
"dob": "08\/03\/2016"
}
If I fill the data of another form and submit, then old values are just replaced by new values. But I want new data to written into same json file as nested values. How can I do it?
This should be a temporary solution because it's not perfect and it could be achieved in safer and more reliable way. This limits a little bit by how it works, so you should tweak this for better results. But in general it is working and some things were changed quite much.
All PHP code (except with Your Input sentence) was mode above HTML and JS.
This will solve Notice errors because right now I have enabled error_reporting to show all errors and both modals are full of these notices.
In your second modal I also put new line (just before submit line):
<input type="hidden" value="1" name="secondModal">
Finally, modified PHP code (a lot, actually).
All areas that were changed are at the end of PHP code.
if (empty($_POST["dob"])) {
$dobErr = "Gender is required";
} else {
$dob = test_input($_POST["dob"]);
}
// All those ifs above
// Add all values into array
$array = array(
'name' => $name,
'email' => $email,
'website' => $website,
'comment' => $comment,
'gender' => $gender,
'qwe' => $qwe,
'rty' => $rty,
'abc' => $abc,
'def' => $def,
'dob' => $dob
);
// Was this the second modal?
if ($_POST['secondModal'] == 1) {
// Get serialized values from temporary file
$content = file_get_contents('temp_array.txt');
$array = unserialize($content);
// Add into already existing array new values
$array['name2'] = $name;
$array['email2'] = $email;
$array['website2'] = $website;
$array['comment2'] = $comment;
$array['dob2'] = $dob;
// Add newly modified array into .json file
$file = dirname(__FILE__).'/validation-data.json';
file_put_contents($file, json_encode($array, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));
} else {
// Serializing array for much easier reading when we use this later
$results = serialize($array);
file_put_contents('temp_array.txt', '');
file_put_contents('temp_array.txt', $results);
}
// End of PHP code
The main idea here is that store serialized $array into temporary .txt file. After we fill out second Modal, we retrieve the same array by unserializing it and adding new values. Then we store into .json file.
This will result in 1 array with values from both modals.

PHP Undefined error , trying to do email code
