Bird 0 Posted August 22, 2019 Report 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
