Make Secure Login in PHP, HTML (Full Script) :

Before sharing code first lets me elaborate what are sessions and why we need to use them? Sessions are the time period data storage which are use to save data for a specific time or till any event. You may notice many time whenever you are login in facebook or gmail. If your window or PC is shut down accidentally or by electricity breakdown. when yo try to access that page again then it will ask you to login again in order to proceed. that’s are sessions and on the back-end there are code to create and delete as well as destroy sessions.

Pages we will need to make for Secure Login panel in PHP :

Index.php (login form is code here).
login.php (having session details as well as establishing server and DB connection).
profile.php (page where user will redirect after successfully login).
Log out (page to destroy sessions as well as log out user and stop accessed to profile.php).

Login form with sessions and admin panel script in PHP :

<?php
session_start(); // Punction for Starting Session
$error=”; // will Store Error Message
if (isset($_POST[‘submit’])) {
if (empty($_POST[‘username’]) || empty($_POST[‘password’])) {
$error = “Username or Password is invalid”;
}
else
{
// Define $username and $password
$username=$_POST[‘username’];
$password=$_POST[‘password’];
// Establishing Connection with server as well as detabase
$connection = mysql_connect(“localhost”, “root”, “”);
// To protect from MySQL injection
$username = stripslashes($username);
$password = stripslashes($password);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($password);
// Selecting Database
$db = mysql_select_db(“bcms”, $connection);
// SQL query to fetch information of registerd users and finds user match.
$query = mysql_query(“select * from userss where password=’$password’ AND username=’$username'”, $connection);
if (mysql_num_rows($query)==1) {
$_SESSION[‘login_user’]=$username; // Initializing Session (storing username)
header(“location: profile.php”); // Redirecting To Other Page
} else {
$error = “Username or Password is invalid”;
}
mysql_close($connection); // Closing Connection
}
}
?>
