header location won't work in php
- by Jayden Kelly
I am making a login page for my website but the header location won't work. here is the code of login.php:
<?php
include ( './includes/header.php' );
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$check_username = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username='$username'");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($check_username);
if ($numrows != 1) {
echo 'That User doesn\'t exist.';
}
else
{
$check_password = mysql_query("SELECT password FROM users WHERE password='$password' && username='$username'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($check_password)) {
$password_db = $row['password'];
if ($password_db == $password) {
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
header("Location: members.php");
}
}
}
}
?>
<h2>Login to Your Account</h2>
<form action='login.php' method='POST'>
<input type='text' name='username' value='Username ...' onclick='value=""'/><p />
<input type='password' name='password' value='Password ...' onclick='value=""'/><p />
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Login to my Account' />
</form>
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me, thanks.
P.S.
If you need the php part of the header file it is here:
<?php
session_start();
include ( './includes/functions.php' );
include ( './includes/connect_to_mysql.php' );
?>
