I'm following a tutorial on how to create a signup and a login page for my website I keep on receiving this error message "Database error"
Below is the authentication controller source code
<?php
//error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
session_start();
require 'config/dbb.php';
$errors = array();
$username = "";
$email = "";
//if user clicked on the sign up button
if (isset($_POST['signup-btn'])){
$username = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$passwordConf = $_POST['passwordConf'];
// validation
if (empty($username)){
$errors['username'] = "Username required";
}
if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
$errors['email'] = "Email address is invalid";
}
if (empty($email)){
$errors['email'] = "Email required";
}
if (empty($password)){
$errors['password'] = "Password required";
}
if ($password !== $passwordConf){
$errors['password'] = "The two passwords do not match";
}
$emailQuery = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email=? LIMIT 1";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($emailQuery);
$stmt->bind_param('s', $email);
$stmt->execute();
$result = $stmt->get_result();
$userCount = $result->num_rows;
$stmt->close();
if ($userCount > 0){
$errors['email'] = "Email already exists";
}
if (count($errors) === 0) {
$password = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
$token = bin2hex(random_bytes(50));
$verified = false;
$sqlQuery = "INSERT INTO users (username, email, verified, token, password) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sqlQuery);
$stmt->bind_param('ssbss', $username, $email, $verified, $token, $password);
if ($stmt->execute()) {
//login user
$user_id = $conn->insert_id;
$_SESSION['id'] = $user_id;
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['email'] = $email;
$_SESSION['verified'] = $verified;
//set flash message
$_SESSION['message'] = "You are now logged in!";
$_SESSION['alert-class'] = "alert-success";
header('location:home.php');
exit();
} else
$errors['db_error'] = "Database error: failed to register";
}
}
And below are the source codes for the signup page
