Hi everyone :)
So partly to get an answer, and partly to boost my post rankings for
the week I have a question.
I am attempting to write an authentication function which would query
a database, check the username/password and return true if it matches.
If it doesn't match, then it shouldn't return anything and they are
denied access.
Here is the code for the function:
<?PHP
function authentication(){
if($user && $pass) { // Keep in mind, PASSWORD has meaning in
MySQL
// Do your string sanitizing here
// (e.g. - $user =
mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['user']);)
$loginQuery = "SELECT * FROM login WHERE user='".$user."' AND
Userpass='".$pass."' LIMIT 0,1;";
$loginResult = mysql_query($loginQuery) or die("Wrong data supplied
or database error" .mysql_error());
while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($loginResult)) {
$_SESSION['user'] = $row1['User'];
$_SESSION['loggedin'] = "YES";
$authenticated = "true";
}
}
}return $authenticated;
?>
and here is the code that I am using to call it:
$authenticated = authentication($user, $pass);
but when ever I try and run it I get the following errors in my log
file, and the page doesn't load the info in the database.
Help me please!
My error log shows this:
