Hi, I have a php user authorise script.
I have 2 fields in a mysql database. user_name and user_password. Password is encrypted with the mysql password('$password') function. This is my PHP authorise section of the script. $sql_authorisation = "SELECT * FROM account_details WHERE account_name='$login_username' AND account_password=PASSWORD('$login_password'); $sql_authorisation_result = mysql_query($sql_authorisation); if (!$sql_authorisation_result) { error("A Database Error Occurred while trying to authorise login details"); } if (mysql_num_rows($sql_authorisation_result) == 0) { session_unregister("login_username"); session_unregister("login_password"); ?> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Access Denied </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR=white> <H1> Access Denied </H1> <P> Your user ID and Password could not be verified. This could be an incorrect username or password, or you are not a registered user on this site. Try logging in again checking your details, or enter the signup process to join us</P> </BODY> </HTML> <?php exit; } ?> This script does NOT work. However if I change the sql function $sql_authorisation to $sql_authorisation = "SELECT * FROM account_details WHERE account_name='$login_username' ); so that is only selects the username - it works. there for there is a problem with me selecting and comparing the password'd user_password. Any suggestions. Thanks, Matt. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
