Create a login form, handle user authentication and registration, Use the database to keep track of users in your application, Create administrative functionality to manage your users, Send confirmation emails to new accounts, Review the email addresses of new accounts then approve or deny them.
Getting Started
There are a few steps we need to take before we create our secure login system. We need to set-up our web server environment and make sure we have the required extensions enabled.
Requirements
- If you haven’t got a local web server set-up I recommend you download and install XAMPP.
- XAMPP is a cross-platform web server package that includes the essentials for back-end developers. It includes PHP, MySQL, Apache, phpMyAdmin, and more. No need to install all the software separately.
What You Will Learn in this Tutorial
- Form Design — Design a login form with HTML5 and CSS3.
- Prepared SQL Queries — How to prepare SQL queries to prevent SQL injection as this will prevent your database from being exposed.
- Basic Validation — Validating form data that is sent to the server (username and password).
- Session Management — Initialize sessions and store retrieved database results.
File Structure & Setup
We now need to start our web server and create the files and directories we’re going to use for our login system.
- Open XAMPP Control Panel
- Next to the Apache module click Start
- Next to the MySQL module click Start
- Navigate to XAMPPs installation folder (C:\xampp)
- Open the htdocs folder
- Create the following folders and files:
File Structure
\– phplogin
|– index.html
|– style.css
|– authenticate.php
|– logout.php
|– home.php
|– profile.php
Each file will contain the following:
- index.html — The login form created with HTML5 and CSS3. We don’t need to use PHP in this file. Therefore, we can save it as plain HTML.
- style.css — The stylesheet (CSS) for our secure login app.
- authenticate.php — Authenticate users, connect to the database, validate form data, retrieve database results, and create new sessions.
- logout.php — Destroy the logged-in sessions and redirect the user.
- home.php — Basic home page for logged-in users.
- profile.php — Select the user’s account from our MySQL database and populate the account details.
