Question

When I execute these two codes, this error in the catLog appears:

03-18 01:05:16.602: E/log_tag(788): Error parsing data
org.json.JSONException: End of input at character 0 of

and in PHP I get this error:

[18-Mar-2012 00:03:54 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected
T_STRING in /home/cyberite/public_html/khacheb/sig1.php on line 11

The php code:

<?php
  /**
   * Database config variables
   */
  $username = $_POST['username'];  
  $password = $_POST['password']; 

  mysql_connect("localhost","cyberite","WAJDI@NASRAOUI@");
  mysql_select_db("cyberite_khacheb");

  $query = mysql_query(“SELECT cin,accountNb,username , password FROM users WHERE    username = ‘$username’ AND password = ‘$password’”);  
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die(“Unable to verify user because : ” . mysql_error());
  while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
    $output[]=$row;
  print(json_encode($output));
  mysql_close();
?>

Answer 1

Make sure that u get $_POST data. And always filter data before using it in sql query for security issue.

<?php
/**
* Database config variables
*/
$username = isset($_POST['username']) ? $_POST['username'] : '';  
$password = isset($_POST['password']) ? $_POST['password'] : ''; 

if(strlen($username) && strlen($password)) {

mysql_connect("localhost","cyberite","WAJDI@NASRAOUI@");
mysql_select_db("cyberite_khacheb");

$username = mysql_real_escape($username);
 $password = mysql_real_escape($password);

$query = mysql_query(“SELECT cin,accountNb,username , password FROM users WHERE    username = ‘$username’ AND password = ‘$password’”);  
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(“Unable to verify user because : ” . mysql_error());
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
  $output[]=$row;
}
print(json_encode($output));
mysql_close();
}
} //end of if
?>
