The first version was not working.. I made this simpler one, but it is not working either. It says the username or password are wrong. I also verified that it counts 0 rows with if($count==1). I am using WAMP. Thanks so much for any help.
Oh and I got the script from here and changed it slightly: http://phpeasystep.com/phptu/6.html (in case you need to look at their code)
checklogin.php:
<?php
ob_start();
$host="localhost:3306";
$username="root";
$password="1234";
$db_name="youtube";
$tbl_name="user";
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// Define $username and $mypassword
$username=$_POST['username'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$username = stripslashes($username);
$password = stripslashes($password);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($password);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$username' and password='$password'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_register("username");
session_register("password");
header("location:login_success.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
ob_end_flush();
?>
