Bird Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Hello! I know there are a lot of posts on the internet about this but I can't find one that solves my problem. I'm following the PHP Login Page tutorial on w3schools.com and am having some trouble. https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_login_form.asp It is not passing the 'uname' and 'psw' to action_page.php. Not sure why... Everything looks referenced correctly I have 2 scripts here: 1) index.html(This seems to be working as-far as sending the credentials to action_page.php, I see the URL at the top is to action_page.php and includes the input username and password) <body> <form action="/action_page.php"> <div class="imgcontainer"> <img src="kje_logo.png" alt="Avatar" class="avatar"> </div> <div class="container"> <label for="uname"><b>Username</b></label> <input type="text" placeholder="Enter Username" name="uname" required> <label for="psw"><b>Password</b></label> <input type="password" placeholder="Enter Password" name="psw" required> <button type="submit">Login</button> </div> </form> </body> 2*) action_page <?php $dbservername = "localhost"; $dbusername = "****"; $dbpassword = "****"; $dbname = "****"; $username = $_POST['uname']; $password = $_POST['psw']; // Create connection $conn = new mysqli($dbservername, $dbusername, $dbpassword, $dbname); // Check connection if ($conn->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error); } else{ echo 'Connected! '; $sql = "SELECT * FROM KJE WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password' ";//when i change $username and $password to the correct credentials, it says "Login Success" $result = mysqli_query($conn,$sql); $check = mysqli_fetch_array($result); if(isset($check)){ echo 'Login Success.'; }else{ echo 'Login Failure!'; } } ?> Edited August 22, 2019 by Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Got it working! Not sure what I did differently from earlier(I took post out while troubleshooting)... Probably just being a dumby. Thanks a ton Edited August 22, 2019 by Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
