I am new to PHP however when I am trying to create a change username form, I am just receiving an error.
"Failed to run query: SQLSTATE[HY093]: Invalid parameter number: parameter was not defined"
I am not sure what is causing this error but I am only getting it when I add the username input form.
I have uploaded my edit_account and config file to pastebin for you all to look at.
Thanks in advanced

Within the last part of the second code segment make the marked changes:
set the value for the parameter :username instead of :email.
remove the redundant first begin of the UPDATE statement.
So this should be:
// Initial query parameter values
$query_params = array(
':username' => $_POST['username'] // set the value for the parameter :username
// ':email' => $_POST['email'], // that's not needed here
':user_id' => $_SESSION['user']['id'],
);
// If the user is changing their password, then we need parameter values
// for the new password hash and salt too.
if($password !== null)
{
$query_params[':password'] = $password;
$query_params[':salt'] = $salt;
}
/* remove this section
// Note how this is only first half of the necessary update query. We will dynamically
// construct the rest of it depending on whether or not the user is changing

$query = "

$query = "

Hi I have been scanning the answers on this subject but they seem to be individual at most, so here goes. My code is from a free repository and it works when I remove the addition I have maid.

<br /><br />
Password:<br />
<input type="password" name="password" value="" />
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Register" />
</form>
I have managed to narrow the problem down to:
$row = $stmt->fetch();
if($row)
{
// Using the password submitted by the user and the salt stored in the database,
// we now check to see whether the passwords match by hashing the submitted password
// and comparing it to the hashed version already stored in the database.
$check_password = hash('sha256', $_POST['password'] . $row['salt']);
for($round = 0; $round < 65536; $round++)
{
print("Checking password");
$check_password = hash('sha256', $check_password . $row['salt']);
}
if($check_password === $row['password'])
{
// If they do, then we flip this to true
$login_ok = true;
}
}
as the "print("checking password");" never happens. Can anyone spot a problem in the code? Thank you in advance for your help.
I realised what my problem was... I was attempting to login with the email instead of the username! Thank you all for your help.

As stated by the error message, you have a syntax error in your SQL query:
SELECT
1
FROM users
WHERE
email = :email
telephone = :telephone
mobiletelephone = :mobiletelephone
You need to combine your WHERE clauses with some logical operator. For example, if all three of these clauses must be true in the query then you would use the AND operator:
SELECT
1
FROM users
WHERE
email = :email AND
telephone = :telephone AND
mobiletelephone = :mobiletelephone
Similarly, your UPDATE query needs to separate fields being updated with a comma:
UPDATE users
SET
email = :email,
telephone = :telephone,
mobiletelephone = :mobiletelephone
(Note: Following that query, it looks like you then append more fields to the SET clause. You'll want to make sure by the time the whole query is constructed that each one is separated by a comma.)

You have to create the instance from PDO class:
$db = new PDO($dns, $username, $password, $options);
After that, you can access $db->prepare('YOUR_QUERY_STRING');
This is because of You have not made any database connection in this page where you are using the prepare function.
So you need to make the connection first on this page with the variable $db as you are using to call the prepare function.
If you are using the PDO then use this command to make connection:
$db = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database_name;","username","password");
I have a PHP site that I made that has an option to edit your account. On the edit account page, I have the username, Real Name, email, and password displayed. Everything display's perfectly except for the real name, which comes up as a blank. It displays fine on my memberlist page.
