This question already has an answer here:
One dude says i need to use Prepared Statements in my code because it's more secure and better then what am doing right now.
I already did only php/mysqli codes whitout Prepared Statements for example this is my server.php one of codes
<?php
session_start();
// variable declaration
$username = "";
$email = "";
$errors = array();
$_SESSION['success'] = "";
// connect to database
$db = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root', 'root');
// REGISTER USER
if (isset($_POST['reg_user'])) {
// receive all input values from the form
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['username']);
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['email']);
$password_1 = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['password_1']);
$password_2 = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['password_2']);
$steamid = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['steamid']);
$age = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['age']);
$rank = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['rank']);
$scode = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $_POST['scode']);
// form validation: ensure that the form is correctly filled
if (empty($username)) { array_push($errors, "Username is required"); }
if (empty($email)) { array_push($errors, "Email is required"); }
if (empty($password_1)) { array_push($errors, "Password is required"); }
if ($password_1 != $password_2) {
array_push($errors, "The two passwords do not match");
}
// register user if there are no errors in the form
if (count($errors) == 0) {
$password = md5($password_1);//encrypt the password before saving in the database
$query = "INSERT INTO users (username, usertype, email, password, steamid, age, rank, scode)
VALUES('$username', '$usertype', '$email', '$password', '$steamid', '$age', '$rank', '$scode')";
mysqli_query($db, $query);
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['success'] = "You are now logged in";
header('location: index.php');
}
}
?>
And how can i make this code whit Prepared Statements someone can help me only whit this example? I really need your help if i get final result of this code whit Prepared Statements i will understand how to use it and will more dedicated to re code my codes ( all )
