Hey everyone I was hoping if you can help me fix errors on a admin login form im using.

Heres the code

<?php

session_start();//works with session cookies, helps have persistant data i.e.  if user is not logged in there will be no session variable

if(isset($_SESSION["manager"])){//if it does not set session manager send it to the file location
	header("location:index.php");
	exit();
}

//parse the log in form if the user has filled out and pressed "Log in"

if(isset($_POST["username"])&&isset($_POST["password"]))
{
	
$manager = preg_replace('#[^A_Za-z0-9]#i',$_POST["username"]);//filter everything but numbers and letters  
$password = preg_replace('#[^A_Za-z0-9]#i',$_POST["password"]);//filter everything but numbers and letters
//connecting database

include_once '../store/connect.php';

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM admin WHERE username = '$manager' AND password ='$password' LIMIT1");//selecting data from databse
//...Double check if I entered user info in database.


$existCount = mysql_num_rows($sql);// count the row numbers

	if($existCount == 1)
	
	{//evaluates the count
		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
		{
			$id = $row["id"];
			
		}
		
			$_SESSION["id"]= $id;
			$_SESSION["manager"]=$manager;
			$_SESSION["password"]=$password;
			header("location:index.php");
			exit();
			
		}
		else
		{
			echo 'the information is incorrect, try again<a href="index.php">Click here </a>';
			exit();
		}
		

}
		
  
?>

I don't know why its happening but im following a tutorial

Heres the link on the 3rd part of the video

I may have missed something but hopefully anyone can notice a simple error

Thanks

:)

you have written the code wrongly

preg_replace takes 3 parameters - pattern,replacement,string

u have provided pattern and string but replacement is missing

preg_replace() requires 3 parameters given to it like the error displays. Here is the PHP manual which shows an example of this http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php

In line 21 for the mysql_query the LIMIT1 should actually be LIMIT 1 with a space between.

The php function preg_replace has three parameters. You should write like this

preg_replace( $value-to-be-replaced, $new-value, $variable-to-be-updated);

Ah thanks for all your input. I didn't put the qoutes properly on the preg replace and I got rid of LIMIT 1 which I don't need and it worked :).

Thanks for your time :)
