PHP MySQL: Why is my form loading a plaintext page? - php

I have tried to implement a form that changes a password in a database, however, when I submit the details on the form, it just directs me to the target page...but shows up and the plaintext code on the browser....why is it doing this!
The form:
<h1 align="center">Change Password</h1>
<form method="POST" action="reset_pwd.php">
<table class='altrowstable' id='alternatecolor' >
<tr>
<td align="right">Username: </td>
<td><input type="TEXT" name="username" value=""/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Current Password: </td>
<td><input type="password" name="password" value=""/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">New Password: </td>
<td><input type="password" name="npassword" value=""/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">Repeat New Password: </td>
<td><input type="password" name="rpassword" value=""/></td>
</tr>
<tr><td align="center">
Forgot password
</td>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Change Password"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<br>
<?php echo $msg; ?>
and the target php page:
<?php
include('dbconfig.php');
$msg = "";
if (mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['submit'])):
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string(md5($_POST['password']));
$npassword = mysql_real_escape_string(md5($_POST['npassword']));
$rpassword = mysql_real_escape_string(md5($_POST['rpassword']));
$sql = "SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE user_id = '$username' ";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($query)):
$dbusername = $rows['username'];
$dbpassword = $rows['password'];
$dbfirstname = $rows ['firstname'];
$dblastname = $rows ['lastname'];
endwhile;
if (empty($username) || empty($password) || empty($npassword) ||
empty($rpassword)):
$msg = "All fields are required";
elseif ($numrows == 0):
$msg = "This username does not exist";
elseif ($password != $dbpassword):
$msg = "The CURRENT password you entered is incorrect.";
elseif ($npassword != $rpassword):
$msg = "Your new passwords do not match";
elseif ($npassword == $password):
$msg = "Your new password cannot match your old password";
else:
mysql_query("UPDATE user_info SET password = '$npassword' WHERE user_id =
'$username'");
$to = $email;
$subject = "YOUR PASSWORD HAS BEEN CHANGED";
$message = "<p>Hello $dbfirstname $dblastname. You've received this E-Mail
because you have requested a PASSWORD CHANGE. ";
$from = "myemail#.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
endif;
endif;
?>

PLease check... What is the type of "user_id" in "user_info" table... and what are you getting in user name field from your form.
am asking about this query...
$sql = "SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE user_id = '$username' ";

First $msg in target php is only for target php,won't return value back to the form
Second,you may looking for
if (isset($_POST['submit'])): instead of
if (mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['submit'])):

There is no html response from the target page to be displayed in browser. For displaying content you need to form proper html so that it can be displayed in browser.
In target page add the below html code at the end so that the message (validation or success) can be displayed.
<html><body>put your message here</body></htm>

You might have forgotten an extra ?> at the end of your included file "dbconfig.php", thus treating your target php page as html.

PHP MySQL Sign up with pre defined username and registration id

I'm trying to make a website with a member section. To signup on the member section, you must already be in the database. You're given your username and password, then when you signup you can enter your email, address, and password.
So my problem is that I'm getting an error saying that the username or reg_id were incorrect, when I know that I am entering the correct info.
else {
mysql_close($con);
header("location: index.php?signup&error-msg=Incorrect Username or Registration ID.");
}
Here is my Login Form:
<form action="function.php?signup" method="post">
<table cellspacing="20" class="span12">
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Full Name">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="address" placeholder="Address">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="reg_id" placeholder="Your Registration ID">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="submit" placeholder="Confirm Signup" value="Confirm Signup">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
On the function.php I have a bunch of different functions etc. but the one for the signup form is:
elseif (isset($_GET['signup'])) {
$username = $_POST['username'];
$reg_id = $_POST['reg_id'];
$qry = mysql_query("
SELECT *
FROM users
WHERE username = '$username'
AND registration_id = '$reg_id' ", $con);
if (!$qry) {
mysql_close($con);
die("Query Failed: " . mysql_error());
} else {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($qry);
}
if ($_POST['username'] == $row["username"] && $_POST['reg_id'] == $row["registration_id"]) {
$password = $_POST['password'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$qry = mysql_query("
INSERT INTO users
(password, profile_email, profile_address)
VALUES ('$password', '$email', '$address')", $con);
if (!$qry) {
die("Query Failed: " . mysql_error());
} else {
header('location: index.php?success-msg=You have successfully signed up');
}
}
else {
mysql_close($con);
header("location: index.php?signup&error-msg=Incorrect Username or Registration ID.");
}
}
I'm not sure what I messed up on, or if I even did that right, as I am still learning. I would like to thank anyone who helps me in advance, all help is much appreciated.

$_POST['username'] should be $_POST['name'] accoding to HTML form.
Use update instead of INSERT.
Following is the corrected PATCH:
$qry = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET password='$password',profile_email='$email',profile_address='$address'
WHERE registration_id='$reg_id'");
you could use something like this :
if (isset($_GET['signup'])){//if
$username = $_POST['name'];
$reg_id = $_POST['reg_id'];
$qry = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username' AND registration_id='$reg_id'", $con) or die(mysql_error());
$row=mysql_num_rows($qry);
if($row == '1'){ ///if regcode exists
////insert into database
$password = $_POST['password'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$qry2 = mysql_query("INSERT INTO
users(password,profile_email,profile_address)
VALUES ('$password','$email','$address')", $con) or die(mysql_error());
header('location: index.php?success-msg=You have successfully signed up');
}///if regcode exists
else{
///didn't find the reg id
header("location: index.php?signup&error-msg=Incorrect Username or Registration ID.");
}
}//if

PHP page displaying first else $errormessage without checking code

I have been trying to create a member log in page to link to my website. I have a number of nested If's within my PHP page however no matter what I try I receive the $errormsg from the first else statement.
The only way I have managed to change this is to add an additional empty else at the bottom of the code (before the table), when i click the reigisterbtn I either receive the first else result or a blank page displaying nothing.
Am I missing something really obvious?

Thank you for looking :)
you also should use $_POST instead of $_post since php is case sensitive!

Why won't the data from my php upload to my sql server?

I've started writing a community-based website with a login (user / pass / avatar etc.). All of these variables are being stored on a sql server so I can access them for the login, etc.
I've looked all over google, and my code seems sound, and my email validation is sent. But none of the data uploads to my sql database, so no users can be created.
I've included the code for my website below, with the connect info taken out for security reasons. Why aren't I able to write data to my database? Any help would be appreciated.

There is typo mistake in your code.
First we have to check if submit request is set or not, so => if($_POST['submitbtn']) should be,
if( isset($_POST['submitbtn']) ) {
...
}
Make change in code and check.
EDIT
You can reformat your code. Check for all variables not empty, use mysql escape instead of strip tags and don't use any escapes on password, only hash(md5).
if (isset($_POST['submitbtn'])) {
$code = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['code']);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$password = md5($_POST['password']);
$errors = array();
if (empty($code) || empty($username) || empty($password)) {
$errors[] = "You did not fill out the entire form." . $form;
} elseif(strlen($code) !== 25) {
$errors[] = "You have not supplied a valid code." . $form;
} else {
// further code...
}
} else {
echo $form;
}
In register.php, change:
<form action='register.php' method='post'>
To:
<form action='register.php' method='post' enctype="multipart/form-data">
This is required to upload files using <input type="file" ...>.
You should not use $pass = md5(md5($password)); - It is just way to easy to crack. Instead look into crypt() - http://php.net/crypt
As this is new code, please consider changing from mysql_* functions to mysqli_* or PDO as PHP is depreciating mysql_* and this will save you time later.

Converting 'eregi_replace' function to 'preg_replace' and a 'mysql_num_rows' parameter fix

I've made a register.php file to sign up for a website I'm currently building. I'm running XAMPP to host my website and test it before I upload it via a paid host. After making the php file with the help of a few video's and online forums I opened it in google chrome and filled out the registration form I had created. But upon pressing 'submit' was presented with the following errors instead of having the user info successfully written into the mysql database.
Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php on line 53
Warning: mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php on line 56
Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php on line 97
Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php on line 98
Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php on line 99
Deprecated: Function eregi_replace() is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php on line 100
I know that the reason for errors related to the eregi_replace() function is because it is no longer being supported/used by the php language. I also am aware there is an alternative of preg_replace() However the problem stands that as a newbie in the field of php I am not able to come up with a solution. I'm learning a little more everyday but I need this page done quickly to continue on with my website and with school I don't have time to try out so many multiple blocks of code to come up with a solution. I apologize; I'm going to need a little spoon feeding. :/ If you can take my code and tell me how to fix the errors listed above, or even better respond with a fixed copy of the code, It would be very greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time and once again I apologize for my lack of knowledge.

No need to do regexp if you don't need it. Change
eregi_replace("`", "", $emailCHecker);
to
str_replace("`", "", $emailCHecker);
Do not use the mysql_* functions since they are deprecated. Use mysqli or PDO or whatever flavor you like but do not use mysql_* anymore!
Use of this extension is discouraged. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL
extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and

Difficulty on retrieving email address on a register form with php and mysql

Hi im am trying to allow users to be members in a website. The code I have does not look to have any bugs or anything. When i try to register as a user it keeps show me an error that i haven't inserted the email address. The email field does exists in the database and i cannot find the problem.
PHP Script
$errorMsg = "";
// First we check to see if the form has been submitted
if (isset($_POST['username'])){
//Connect to the database through our include
include_once "connect_to_mysql.php";
// Filter the posted variables
$username = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['username']); // filter everything but numbers and letters
$country = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['country']); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
$county = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['county']); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
$city = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['city']); // filter everything but spaces, numbers, and letters
$accounttype = str_replace("[^a-z]", "", $_POST['accounttype']); // filter everything but lowercase letters
$email=str_replace( '/#/', '#', $email );
$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);
$email = strip_tags($email);
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($email);
$password = str_replace("[^A-Z a-z0-9]", "", $_POST['password']); // filter everything but numbers and letters
// Check to see if the user filled all fields with
// the "Required"(*) symbol next to them in the join form
// and print out to them what they have forgotten to put in
if((!$username) || (!$country) || (!$county) || (!$city) || (!$accounttype) || (!$email) || (!$password)){
$errorMsg = "You did not submit the following required information!<br /><br />";
if(!$username){
$errorMsg .= "--- User Name";

}
} else {

$sql_email_check = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM members WHERE email='$email' LIMIT 1");
$username_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_username_check);
$email_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_email_check);
if ($username_check > 0){
$errorMsg = "<u>ERROR:</u><br />Your User Name is already in use inside our system. Please try another.";

Error : You did not submit the following required information!
--- Email Address
All the other fields seem to be working fine!! If anyone has any idea of what is causing the problem please tell me!! Thanks
EDIT: IF you still get the same result the problem is with mysql_real_escape_string
because it's the only function which return FALSE.
You forgot to define the value of the email variable.
add this:
$email = $_POST['email'];
above this:
$email=str_replace( '/#/', '#', $email );
and add this below:
$email = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags(stripslashes($email)));
I believe you need to first get post value, then play with it. So consider the order change as below:
$email = stripslashes($_POST['email']);
$email=str_replace( '/#/', '#', $email );
$email = strip_tags($email);
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($email);
Also a check in html file may work for further errors.
<?php $email = isset($_POST['email']) ? $_POST['email'] : ''; ?>
Hope this works.
Use echo to display your variable's values. See what $mail is when it is posted but before any filters are applied, and after each filter is applied. This can narrow down your search to where the error is actually occurring.
