Please assist:
I have created a database with a tb_user.
I have a form to checklogin.php with the code below:
The connect_db.php
Code:
<?PHP
// I am setting all my variables to make it easier to change code at a later stage by just cganging the variables
$connect_error = "Could not connect to Database";
$mysql_host = "localhost";
$mysql_user = "root";
$mysql_passw = "";
$mysql_db = "games";
// Using a f statement with the not inside that if the DB does not exist or could not connect
// it will die with an error message as per the variable, I used the @ sign to silence the normal error message
if (!@mysql_connect($mysql_host, $mysql_user, $mysql_passw) OR !@mysql_select_db($mysql_db)) {
die($connect_error);
}
?>
The checklogin.php
Code:
<?PHP
// Import the connect to DB code as required as we need it and can not continue with out it.
require 'connect_db.php';
// username and password sent from form
$myusername=$_POST['myusername'];
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword'];
// To protect MySQL injection
$myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
$mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
$myusername = mysql_real_escape_string($myusername);
$mypassword = mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword);
// Table name variable
$tb_name = "tb_user";
// Set the Query within a variable
$query = "SELECT * FROM $tb_name WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
// Mysql_num_row is counting table row
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);
// Create a if statement to check if results returned and if not to display an error
if($count == 1) {
// Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "login_success.php"
session_register("myusername");
session_register("mypassword");
header("location:login_success.php");
}
else {
echo "Username or Password INCORRECT!";
}
?>
It connects to the DataBase however it gives the following error:
( ! ) Notice: Undefined variable: username in C:\wamp\www\exam\checklogin.php on line 19

username and password both do exist in my DataBase in column 5 and 6.
Pulling my hair here I am sure this must work.
