I am very new to wordpress. I am trying to do the following:
a. I have a very simple html and php based website. I have a signup page which accepts user id and password and then on click of submit button it calls a php file which verifies the userid/password and saves it in the database. THIS WORKS PERFECTLY FINE
b. Now, I trying to move those two pages to wordpress platform. I have installed a php plugin also. Now the problem in wordpress platform is whenever I hit the submit button, in the database 3 duplicate records are getting appended. I have been trying a lot but could not fix this
c. I tried different php plugins but does not work
d. After reading few help documents on the web, I have tried creating my own template page, even that does not work
Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.
EDIT
Form:
<form action="http://xxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxx" method="post">
Enter User ID:
<input name="userid" type="text" value="" />Password:
<input name="password" type="text" value="" />
Confirm Password:
<input name="confrimpassword" type="text" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="SIGN UP" />
</form>
Below is the php file:
<?php
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
// Echo session variables that were set on previous page
//echo "Favorite color is ".$_SESSION["favcolor"].".<br>";
//echo "Favorite animal is ".$_SESSION["favanimal"].".";
?>
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","***********","**************");
mysql_select_db("******");
$sql1=mysql_query("select * from login_details where customer_id='$_POST[userid]'");
$row=mysql_fetch_assoc($sql1);
if (!$sql1) {
echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error();
//exit;
}
else {
echo " inside last else";
$sql2=mysql_query("INSERT INTO login_details VALUES ('$_POST[userid]','$_POST[password]')");
echo "Account successfully Created...";
}
mysql_close();
?>
</body>
</HTML>
