I'm new with using PHP. I'd like to add an auto login part to my site, so users are automatically logged in after they create an account on my site. Can someone please tell me how I can automatically log users in after they register? I am not sure where I should be starting. I appreciate all the help you can give me. Thank you so much! :)
Here is my register.php script:
<?php
ob_start();
session_start();
if( isset($_SESSION['user'])!="" ){
header("Location: /");
}
include_once 'dbconnect.php';
$error = false;
if ( isset($_POST['btn-signup']) ) {
$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$name = strip_tags($name);
$name = htmlspecialchars($name);
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
$email = strip_tags($email);
$email = htmlspecialchars($email);
$pass = trim($_POST['pass']);
$pass = strip_tags($pass);
$pass = htmlspecialchars($pass);
$company = trim($_POST['company']);
$pcompany = strip_tags($company);
$company = htmlspecialchars($company);
if (empty($name)) {
$error = true;
$nameError = "Please enter your full name.";
} else if (strlen($name) < 3) {
$error = true;
$nameError = "Name must have atleat 3 characters.";
} else if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]+$/",$name)) {
$error = true;
$nameError = "Name must contain alphabets and space.";
}
if ( !filter_var($email,FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) ) {
$error = true;
$emailError = "Please enter valid email address.";
} else {
$query = "SELECT userEmail FROM users WHERE userEmail='$email'";
$result = mysqli_query($conn,$query);
$count = mysqli_num_rows($result);
if($count!=0){
$error = true;
$emailError = "Provided Email is already in use.";
}
}
if (empty($pass)){
$error = true;
$passError = "Please enter password.";
} else if(strlen($pass) < 6) {
$error = true;
$passError = "Password must have atleast 6 characters.";
}
$password = hash('sha256', $pass);
if( !$error ) {
$query = "INSERT INTO users(userName,userEmail,userPass,userCompany) VALUES('$name','$email','$password','$company')";
$res = mysqli_query($conn,$query);
if ($res) {
$errTyp = "success";
$errMSG = "Successfully registered, you may login now";
unset($name);
unset($email);
unset($pass);
unset($company);
} else {
$errTyp = "danger";
$errMSG = "Something went wrong, try again later...";
}
}
}
//include your login validation
if(empty($errors)){
//User->login(); or anything you use for validating logins
}
?>
