I send my login information using ajax/jquery to php where I want to search for the user in the database. If I specify the string in the php file manually it works. It seems like there is an issue with the serialize and json_decode which i am not sure. Can anyone help me ?
I am putting in all the snippets of my html file and php file..
</div><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on('pageinit', '#login', function(){
$(document).on('click', '#submit', function() { // catch the form's submit event
if($('#username').val().length > 0 && $('#password').val().length > 0){
// Send data to server through the ajax call
// action is functionality we want to call and outputJSON is our data
$.ajax({url: 'check.php',
data: {action : 'login', formData : $('#check-user').serialize()},
type: 'post',
async: 'true',
dataType: 'json',
beforeSend: function() {
// This callback function will trigger before data is sent
$.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg(true); // This will show ajax spinner
},
complete: function() {
// This callback function will trigger on data sent/received complete
$.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg(); // This will hide ajax spinner
},
success: function (result) {
if(result.status) {
$.mobile.changePage("#second");
alert(result.message);
} else {
alert('Logon unsuccessful!');
}
},
error: function (request,error) {
// This callback function will trigger on unsuccessful action
alert('Network error has occurred please try again!');
}
});
} else {
alert('Please fill all necessary fields');
}
return false; // cancel original event to prevent form submitting
});
});
Now the next is my PHP script...
<?php
// We don't need action for this tutorial, but in a complex code you need a way to determine Ajax action nature
$action = $_POST['action'];
// Decode JSON object into readable PHP object
$formData = json_decode($_POST['formData']);
// Get username
$username = $formData->{'username'};
// Get password
$password = $formData->{'password'};
$db = @mysql_connect('.............', '......', '.......') or die("Could not connect database");
@mysql_select_db('.......', $db) or die("Could not select database");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT `password` FROM `userdb` WHERE `username`= '$username'");
$r = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$pass_ret = $r['password'];
// Lets say everything is in order
if($action == 'login' && $password == $pass_ret){
$output = array('status' => true, 'message' => 'Login');
}
else
{
$output = array('status' => false, 'message' => 'No Login');
}
echo json_encode($output);
?>
