Login page in PHP and MySQL

This tutorial demonstrates how to create a login page with MySQL Data base. Before enter into the code part, You would need special privileges to create or to delete a MySQL database. So assuming you have access to root user, you can create any database using mysql mysqladmin binary.

1) Config.php
Config.php file is having information about MySQL Data base configuration.

	
<?php
   define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost:3036');
   define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'rootpassword');
   define('DB_DATABASE', 'database');
   $db = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER,DB_USERNAME,DB_PASSWORD,DB_DATABASE);
?>
	
	


2) Login.php
Login PHP is having information about php script and HTML script to do login.

<?php
   include("config.php");
   session_start();
   
   if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
      // username and password sent from form 
      
      $myusername = mysqli_real_escape_string($db,$_POST['username']);
      $mypassword = mysqli_real_escape_string($db,$_POST['password']); 
      
      $sql = "SELECT id FROM admin WHERE username = '$myusername' and passcode = '$mypassword'";
      $result = mysqli_query($db,$sql);
      $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC);
      $active = $row['active'];
      
      $count = mysqli_num_rows($result);
      
      // If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
		
      if($count == 1) {
         $_SESSION['login_user'] = $myusername;
         
         header("location: welcome.php");
      }else {
         $error = "Your Login Name or Password is invalid";
      }
   }
?>
