When I log into my networks homepage it is not working. I have connected to the database and can create new users however when I log in I am getting the else statement that shows my session is not working. (It was redirecting back to log in but for learning purposes I set it to echo).
Below is my log in code and homepage code (basic structure). I know it is not secure yet I am still getting to the security part I just need to figure out why this error is happening.
<?php require ("insert.php"); ?>
<?php
if(isset($_POST[ 'Login' ]))
{
session_start();
$email= mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST ['email']);
$pswrd= mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST ['pswrd']);
$result = $con->query(" select * from users where email='$email' AND pswrd='$pswrd' ");
$row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_BOTH);
$_SESSION["UserID"] = $row['User_ID'];
header ('Location: home.php');
}
?>
