How to Build a Login System for a Simple Website

With the following on the target page that you want to grant access to if user is authorized:

confirm_Member();

?>

Why would I be seeing

confirm_Member(); ?>

in the top left of the target page when I should be redirected to the login page when no session has set?

I can’t seem to find the part 2 of this series. Was it ever done?

how did you pople do it did you just write it down manually ??.

where is the for the beginners version????

Dear Jeff

Thank you for tutorial. initially I had some problems configuring the WAMP server on 8080. I figured out a simple process to do it. I have posted about the same at:

Your comments would be very valueable.

Sorry I am a noob to OO but I don’t understand why you have structured the validate_user and the verify_Username_and_Pass functions in the way that you have.

It seems to me that you could have a need of a Mysql class without having a need for any sort of membership functions. Furthermore, having a membership class implies that anything to do with membership should be found there.

Consequently, it makes more sense, to me at least, to have a validate_user function in Membership and then put all of the logic for validating the user in there, including verifying their username and password. The Mysql class would then only contain basic functions for connecting to the database and so forth and this “rawer” functionality would be called directly from the validate_user function.

Put it another way, when you want to verify a username and password independently of validating a user?

Oh well. I am currently creating a Session class for this very purpose so hopefully there aren’t some very good reasons underlying the structure you have chosen. I am sure I will encounter them if there are :).

Excellent tutorial for beginners.! I learned a lot.

When can we see the PART 2?

Thanks a lot Jeff!

Hi, i just follow the tutorial and want to thank you.

But there is one problem. When i enter my username and password, it always return me that they are incorrect. I put the good info, the same that i have in my DB.

Can someone help me make this work

Jeffrey, when is the second tutorial coming up? Don’t find it if you’ve uploaded it, know that it was along time ago when you did the tutorial, but, I thing I speak for most of us when I say that I really want that second tutorial.

I havent inported the source into my webserver, and chance info in constants.php but i log in into myphpadmin and create a user, but if i try to login then says, my username and password was incorrekt, whats wrong???

cool

Awesome Tutorial :), how would I go about making admin area?

Awesome Tutorial, suggestion for part 2…could there be a way to set up different user levels?? Meaning a group of user can see page A, then another group of user’s with higher access is allowed to see page A and B.

thnx! =)

Hi, Nice work but I don’t seem to get that work. Keep showing me the

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /classes/Mysql.php on line 6

The only thing I have changed in the Mysql.php is added prefix to the database table so that match with the table I have created.

on line 6 is the
private $conn;

If I remove this code then it will give me the logon screen, then of course it cannot call the conn object when it hit line 20.
if($stmt = $this->conn->prepare($query)) {

I’m just a newbie and wonder if you can tell me what went wrong. Many thanks for the tutorial
