PHP Login Script - FAQ

if like me you can't understand the serialize thing u can try this. We make the string of the cookie and separate it with | char.

$cookie = $_SESSION['username']."|". $_SESSION['cookie'];

then in the _checkRemembered we use
list($username, $cookie) = explode("|",$cookie);

to get the vars back

it's another way

Just to make sure you don't get any notices if you're using PHP with error_reporting set to E_ALL use this:

@list($username, $cookie) = explode('|', $cookie)

You'll need a check like !empty($username) too.

As I am not a pro-programmer, I was directed to you by a friend who said U will be glad to help.

Anyway, doesn´t your login script require all sorts off agreements with the admin´s server?

Or can it be easily integreted into a html document and subsequently uploaded?

I found html_form.php and included it. Now when I pull up login.php in the browser, it says undefined function uri_self() in login.php. I see that it is called as $form = new Form(uri_self());

There is no other reference in this site or anywhere else.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

I fgured it out. Needed to include functions.php and global.php in login.php. I actually saw the user account form! I started learning PHP two days ago! Good Stuff! I havent done the whole thing yet, and might need some pointers as I go down the line. Thanks again!

dont know much about much so i need some help :-), when i try to run the login.php page it says that:

Warning: main(html_form.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /www/htdocs/php-login-script/login.php on line 8

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'html_form.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /www/htdocs/php-login-script/login.php on line 8

Where can i get an html_form.php??

Thanks.

I found it, but know he says:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: uri_self() in /www/htdocs/php-login-script/login.php on line 9

see that Ravi Manda, has figured it out, needed to include functions.php and global.php in login.php but how do i write that.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: begin_html() in /www/d/dawg868/cgi-bin/login/signup.php on line 4

same problem here ...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: begin_html() in /home/wetteren/www.standaardwetteren.com/login/index.php on line 4

just comment out begin_html() fuction call.

Also, inform if you got it to work.

I got it working after three days of errors. Configured and rearanged some of the code. Works a treat!

May I suggest a clear description be written (because I have the same issue) about how, where and what needs to be in what directory in relation to htdocs on an apache server? and where does pear go and - geez there are such a snaggle of parts, but, I am a newbie and only desire clarity from those who know and have suffered before me.

Sir,

Now i want to know about the session register and unset. How can I use this ? Please send me some script to know about that.

Thanks !

grabe ang hrap.. ive used the code and it worked fine.. after a few days though.. hello to jobert and webmaster louie[KUPZ]..

hello what about active or suspended member,i want to alert the user that login if their account being suspended or their password wrong or their user name is wrong?

You can do it before begin_html() :

require_once("global.php");

function uri_self()

{

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

}

and how found html_form.php?

Hey All,

PHP is pretty new to me, but I have to admit that I just read through Martin's site and got almost everything working.

I thought I had most of this thing figured out, then hit a snag. From what I can tell, the pages are finding everything they need, the MySQL db is running but as soon as I try to load the index.php page all I get are the headers and footers for the html and body. No errors and now visual help.

I know I have php running because I have phpmyadmin running, and a few other php apps.

I have looked everywere I can think of. I have double checked my permissions, checked paths and manually logged into the db. Everything is working.. except I can't see the page(s).

If anyone can throw me a bone on this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone!

PS: Thanks Martin

I just downloaded your login script but i could not find any install and configure docs on the site.

The global.php references a config file. I assume this contains the connection string to the mysql database.. Can anyone confirm that format of this file?

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your great work. I am a programmer but a newbie to scripting. I want to use your script to restrict access to a web page from a particular machine/IP address. Could you help me with the please. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

hi i still new in this php thing, so i need a guide..recenly i need to do login in password, but i don't know how to do...so anyone know abt it??

Folks, if you are not a well experienced oop programmer, don't try this script. It has too many bugs, and I suspect this guy, martin, intents to waste your time. Or, he is unbelievably irresponsible person.

I have more than ten years of experience in oop. I am struggling with this garbage-like script. Now it's almost done anyway. You will hardly succeed with this script unless you are not really good since this script really sucks.

Does someone have an example of a suitable config.php that is called from global.php?

how do i intsall

After some hours of editing the code, so that it would work, still the redirect()-function, as in login.php:

redirect('/user/');

did not work because it is not defined.

What is the redirect()-function(the code)?

umm... if someone figures out how to install every would you mind helping me. i have no idea what anything means and i can't find html_form.php.

Call to undefined function: begin_html() what is the cause problem. please help. i am trying to make login software in php. need it badly

Help!!

Keep getting the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/html/php-login-script/user.php file.

Line is:

result = $this->db->getRow($sql);

Correction

Line is:

$result = $this->db->getRow($sql);

I'm plowing through this and got some parts working.

Don't know if it's buggy like people say but it appears that some installation instructions would be helpful. Considering all the requires you have to set up.

I read through all the questions above and it appears no one cares about actually answering the valid questions.

You are referred to this -

* From the PHP Login Script site, download config.php and put it in the directory above html/, in most cases www/.

But I cant find it ??? It is not there

Do anyone know where I can find it and thus I download it ???

I want a script to let my user log in and out on my WAP site! Does this script do fine?

Yes it does, Cuong

I got it all configured and rolling except any page i goto says "DB Error: not found" The DB is up and working I can log into it. I used the included sql script and created the database and tables. what did I miss?

P.S. Most you noobs arn't downloading pear and setting it up thats 1/2 the questions I see on here. SO GET IT AND SHUT UP.

I'm not so old in the PHP-MySQL field. A few tips from your website is worth mentioning.My PHP Login script doesn't track sessions. Once a user logs out and another one comes immediately to use the same browser that he was using and the, he is able to view the prohibited pages without. Why cant the script refer him to the logon page.

Its taken a while but I have gotten past a lot of errors, I added

require_once('../functions.php');

to login.php and but the PEAR package HTML_form in the root of my login folder and this helped a lot of my problems, this is really a great learning exercize for PHP.

My problem now is

non-existent class: form on

$form = new Form(uri_self());

I hope someone is checking this forum.

I've got the same problem as dewman, theres a db error, I know have I have to enter my database name, but how do I get my database name? where is it?

Where can i find config.php?

Hi.. After several days of trying to get this script to work I have decided to give it away as a waste of time. Being brand new to website design, php, mysql, pear etc etc it is all too difficult. I am somewhat disappointed because from what I could make out it seems like a good script but it is just too difficult to install for a complete newbie. If someone out there who has managed to get it to work can write a morons guide to installing this thing I might give it another try but the problem is the more we know the more we assume others know and start to leave out important details like a clear directory structure, a complete list of needed files and where they go, file names that this code goes into, maybe even a brief overview of why each file is called to better understand what is happening. I for one wouldn’t be insulted by someone stating something really really obvious because at the shallow end of web designing pool it would help immensely. Anyway good luck to those that follow I wish you better luck than I had.

Don't require a specific extra API (PEAR) for your example to work.

Suggest rewrite to use text file...
