just hoping that someone can help me, im working on getting a login script to work for my home server. The script was found at http://www.phpeasystep.com/workshopview.php?id=6
this is the script im working on
<?php
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="php"; // Mysql username
$password=":):):):):)"; // Mysql password
$db_name="members"; // Database name
$tbl_name="users"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// username and password sent from form
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myusername = stripslashes($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);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
header("location:login_success.php");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
?>
when i enter all the information i get "Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/checklogin.php on line 26
Wrong Username or Password"
the database is all set up properly as far as i can tell any advise to what to look for or what i need to change would be helpful...
