Question

I am trying to integrate phpass library with an existing authenticate method:

public static function authenticate($username, $password)
{
    global $db;
    $username = $db->prep_query($username);
    $password = $db->prep_query($password); // Does not seems like it will be used

    # First step: Retrieve the account based on the user input (email)
    $query_string = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '{$username}' LIMIT 1";
    $query_result = static::find_by_query_string($query_string);

    return !empty($query_result) ? array_shift($query_result) : false;
}

Now the record that comes back is ( according to print_r($query_result) )

Array ( [0] => User Object ( [id] => 7 [password] => $2a$08$qwSjSZ11TUYs5w1L89ppFer2n40HrnjlvaQ00DsUOOvjSYwoEmN4K [email] => [e-mail] ) ) 1

What I’m trying to retrieve is: "$2a$08$qwSjSZ11TUYs5w1L89ppFer2n40HrnjlvaQ00DsUOOvjSYwoEmN4K"

But when I use $query_result[0][1] or $query_result[0]["password] I’m getting an error.

What am I missing here? How can I use the password value in $query_string array ?

Answer 1

You access the first array index, which happens to be an object. So you then need to access the property called password.

$query_result[0]->password
