So basically I am trying to run a login system and use the user's data to update a page in real time, unfortunately I cannot continue the session and every time I try to echo the user nothing happens, here is my code for logging in.
<?php
$host="IPADRESS"; // Host name
$username="web11-sign-up"; // Mysql username
$password="w0lfbane01#"; // Mysql password
$db_name="web11-sign-up"; // Database name
$tbl_name="members"; // Table name
// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
// username and password sent from form
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
// To protect MySQL injection (more detail about MySQL injection)
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$mypassword = md5($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
// If result matched $myusername and $mypassword, table row must be 1 row
if($count==1){
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
$_SESSION["$myusername"];
$_SESSION["$mypassword"];
header("location:Scene-Selection/");
}
else {
echo "Wrong Username or Password";
}
?>
I did not realize that this section was not working until I started on another section of the site. I could not retrieve any information from the database.
