I am using a mysqli login system on my website for which the files i have included here:
(login.php):
<?php
session_start();
require_once 'classes/Membership.php';
$membership = new Membership();
// If the user clicks the "Log Out" link on the index page.
if(isset($_GET['status']) && $_GET['status'] == 'loggedout') {
$membership->log_User_Out();
}
// Did the user enter a password/username and click submit?
if($_POST && !empty($_POST['username']) && !empty($_POST['pwd'])) {
$response = $membership->validate_User($_POST['username'], $_POST['pwd']);
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
etc.
That is the main html file and the following are the php files:
(membership.php);
<?php
require 'Mysql.php';
class Membership {
function validate_user($un, $pwd) {
$mysql = New Mysql();
$ensure_credentials = $mysql->verify_Username_and_Pass($un, $pwd);
if($ensure_credentials) {
$_SESSION['status'] = 'authorized';
proposed session variable: $_SESSION['name'] = 'RESULT';
header("location: index.php");
} else return "Please enter a correct username and password";
}
function log_User_Out() {
if(isset($_SESSION['status'])) {
unset($_SESSION['status']);
if(isset($_COOKIE[session_name()]))
setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 1000);
session_destroy();
}
}
function confirm_Member() {
session_start();
if($_SESSION['status'] !='authorized') header("location: login.php");
}
}
?>
(mysql.php):
<?php
require_once 'includes/constants.php';
class Mysql {
private $conn;
function __construct() {
$this->conn = new mysqli(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME) or
die('There was a problem connecting to the database.');
}
function verify_Username_and_Pass($un, $pwd) {
$query = "SELECT *
FROM players_login
WHERE username = ? AND password = ?
LIMIT 1";
if($stmt = $this->conn->prepare($query)) {
$stmt->bind_param('ss', $un, $pwd);
My Attempt: $row = $query->fetch_object();
$stmt->execute();
if($stmt->fetch()) {
$stmt->close();
return true;
}
}
}
}
Right my query is I would like the server to echo the user’s Name in the index.php saying for example Hello: Jane Thompson an have the ability to use that name when they post anything to the database i.e: Posted By: Jane Thompson.
you could save in $_SESSION the username and password like:
so in index.php you could print
