Subject: Newbie, needs Help with Login
Hi all,
I'm new at CF and i'm having a few problems with a user login menu.
Specifically;
1) If the user just "clicks" submit, without entering any data, I get an
ERROR message.
2) If the user enters a login name that's already taken, I get an ERROR
message.
Does anyone know how to fix these problems? Here is the code i'm using
below. (I apologize for the length of the message)
==================snippet of checklogin.cfm================
===========================================================
Hi,<H2>Please enter your username and password below</H2>
<cfoutput>
<cfFORM ACTION="checklogin.cfm" METHOD="POST">
UserName: <cfINPUT TYPE="text" NAME="username1"><BR>
Password: <cfINPUT TYPE="password" NAME="password1"><BR>
<P>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit">
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear">
</cfFORM>
</cfoutput>
===========================================================
This goes to checklogin.cfm. Here i query the database to see
if the Username (already in the DB) matches the (username1) entered by the
user.
Then i try to route the user to the appropriate page. ----->
====================checklogin.cfm code ====================
===========================================================
<CFPARAM NAME="Username1" DEFAULT="">
<CFPARAM NAME="Password1" DEFAULT="">
<CFIF Len(Trim(Username1))>
<cfquery name="check" datasource="store">
SELECT Username, Password
FROM User
WHERE Username='#username1#'
</cfquery>
<CFELSE>
Go back and enter username
</CFIF>
<html>
<head><title> Check Login Information </title></head>
<body>
<cfoutput query="check">
<cfif Compare(Password1, Check.Password)>
<cfcookie name="name" value="#username1#">
<cfcookie name="pass" value="#password1#">
