Coding Critique


Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I was hoping someone could take a second and look down my code and see if they see any problems with how it was written before I continue on.

Code: <?php

require "backstageconfig.php";
require "backstagefunctions.php";

ob_start();
//if the login form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
// makes sure they filled it in
if(!$_POST['username'] || !$_POST['password'])
{
die('You did not fill in a required field.');
}
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$pass = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']);

$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '".$username."'")or die(mysql_error());

//Gives error if user dosen't exist
$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);
if ($check2 == 0)
{
die('That user does not exist in our database.');
}
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))
{
$pass = md5(stripslashes($_POST['password']));
$info['password'] = stripslashes($info['password']);
//$_POST['pass'] = md5($_POST['pass']); THIS IS DONE IN THE ABOVE STATEMENT
//gives error if the password is wrong
if ($pass != $info['password'])
{
die('Incorrect password, please try again.');
}
else

// if login is ok then we add a cookie and send them to the correct page
{
$username = stripslashes($username);
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['loggedin'] = time();

// Finds out the user type
$query = "SELECT `admin` FROM `users` WHERE `username` = '" . $username . "'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$admin = $row['admin'];
$_SESSION['admin'] = $admin;
