Files from the Register & Login Tutorials not showing
Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:49 am
Hi there, my first post. I was following the register and login tutorials and for some reason none of them will display, for example when I click on my login.php file, I just get a white screen. Here's my code for example:
Login.php
As for my init.inc.php, the code is:
Again, I'm just getting a blank white screen on everything, no errors.
Please get back to me
Edit: Sorry that I don't know how to post the code in "code" format on the website, if someone would tell me how to I would. but running this in Coda, I see the error "Warning: include(init.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in - on line 2 Warning: include(): Failed opening 'init.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in - on line 2"
All my files are in the same area, and I don't understand what it means to "fail to open stream".
Login.php
<?php
include('init.inc.php');
$errors = array();
if (isset($_POST['username'], $_POST['password'])){
if (empty($_POST['username'])){
$errors[] = 'Please enter your username.';
}
if (empty($_POST['password'])){
$errors[] = 'Please enter your password.';
}
if (valid_credentials($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']) == false){
$errors[] = 'Your username or password is incorrect';
}
if (empty($errors)){
$_SESSION['username'] = htmlentities($_POST['username']);
//if correct, they get sent to protected.php
header('Location: protected.php');
die();
}
}
?>

</div>
<form action="" method="post">
<p>

<input type="text" name="username" id="username" value ="<?php if(isset($_POST['username'])) echo htmlentities($_POST['username']); ?>"/>
</p>
<p>

<input type="password" name="password" id="password" />
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now as far as the style.css stylesheet goes, I made one, but there's nothing in it, it's blank. But I don't think that has any place in stopping this stuff from showing. As for my init.inc.php, the code is:
<?php
session_start();
$exceptions = array('register','login');
//extracting "register"
$page = substr(end(explode('/',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])), 0, -4);
/*if the user is not in a page that is in the exceptions list, we check if they're
logged in, and if they aren't, they get sent to the login page*/
if (in_array($page, $exceptions)) === false){
if (isset($_SESSION['username'] === false){
header('Location: login.php');
die();
}
}
mysql_connect('localhost','root','root');
mysql_select_db('user_system');
$path = dirname(__FILE__); //always the full path to the file
include("{$path}/user.inc.php");
?>
I have every file (register.php,user.inc.php,protected.php, etc.) in the same folder just to practice with them, and their in the htdocs folder of my MAMP folder. Again, I'm just getting a blank white screen on everything, no errors.
