I'm building a CMS for a website. The problem is that after the login a blank page appears and it stays until I hit refresh. Then it loads to the correct menu page and everything else is working correctly except this little detail. Any tips to solve this? Thanks, my code is below:
<?php
session_start();
include_once('../includes/connection.php');
if(isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])) {
//display index
?>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>AdminENG</title>
<link rel ="stylesheet" href="../assets/style.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
CMS - ENG
<ol>
<li><a href ="add.php">Add Article</a></li>
<li><a href ="delete.php">Delete Article</a></li>
<li><a href ="logout.php">Logout</a></li>
</ol>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
else {
//display login
if(isset($_POST['username'], $_POST['password'])) {
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = md5($_POST['password']);
if (empty($username) || empty($password)) {
$error = "All fields are required!";
}
else {
$query = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user_name = ? AND user_password = ?");
$query->bindValue(1, $username);
$query->bindValue(2, $password);
$query->execute();
$num = $query->rowCount();
if($num == 1) {
//user entered the correct details
$_SESSION['logged_in'] = true;
header('Location: index.php');
exit();
}
else {
//user entered false details
$error = "Incorrect details!";
}
}
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>AdminENG</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<link rel ="stylesheet" href="../assets/style.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
CMS
<br><br>
<?php
if (isset($error)) { ?>
<small style="color:#aa0000"><?php echo $error; ?></small>
<?php } ?>
<br><br>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input type ="text" name="username" placeholder="Username"/>
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password"/>
<input type="submit" value="Login"/>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
?>
