How do I create a user welcome message in
php. So that the user who has been logged on will be able to see his username.
I have this code, but it doesn't seem to work.
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","nitoryolai123$%^");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("school", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users
WHERE Username='$username'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['Username'];
echo "<br />";
}
?>
I'm trying to make use of the data that is inputted in this login form:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="verifylogin.
php">
<td>
<table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="">
<tr>
<td colspan="16" height="25" style="background:#5C915C; color:white; border:white 1px solid; text-align: left"><strong><font size="2">Login User</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="30" height="35"><font size="2">Username:</td>
<td width="30"><input name="myusername" type="text" id="idnum" maxlength="5"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="30" height="35" ><font size="2">Password:</td>
<td width="30"><input name="mypassword" type="password" id="lname" maxlength="15"></td>
</tr>
<td align="right" width="30"><td align="right" width="30"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /></td> <td align="right" width="30"><input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset"></td></td>
</tr>
</form>
But this, verifylogin.
php, seems to be in the way.
<?php
$host="localhost";
$username="root";
$password="nitoryolai123$%^";
$db_name="school";
$tbl_name="users";
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
if($count==1){
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
header("location:userpage.
php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
?>
How do I do it? I always get this error when I run it:
Notice: Undefined variable: username in C:\wamp\www\exp\userpage.
php on line 53
Can you recommend of an easier on how I can achieve the same thing?
