How To Create A Login System In PHP For Beginners | Procedural MySQLi | PHP Tutorial

In this PHP tutorial you will learn how to create a login system in PHP from, and how to show content after being logged in. You will also learn about error handlers, and MySQL databases, which includes how to make a login form and a signup form. If you get any errors during this tutorial, make sure to check out my solutions at the very bottom of this description! :)

User Profile Page video (READ FIRST):
I decided that it would be better to create the Profile Page using Object Oriented PHP (OOP), instead of Procedural PHP. 🙂
OOP is MUCH better for creating BIG systems in PHP, and is more organized and considered the "proper way" of writing PHP.
I have a OOP Login System tutorial that I will link bellow, that I recommend you watch after this one. 🙂 And I will also link my OOP PHP course in case you are completely new to OOP PHP. 😉
Even though you can still follow along on the OOP Profile System video right after THIS Procedural Login System tutorial, I strongly recommend that you watch the OOP Login System first... Since it will be easier to follow along. 🙂

➤ ERRORS YOU MIGHT RUN INTO!!!
▸"signup=empty"
Make sure you wrote "mysqli_connect" and NOT "mysql_connect" in the dbh.inc.php file!
▸"unexpected }"
If you get this error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}'
Then it is because you forgot to close a ) or ; somewhere.
▸"unexpected ;"
If you get this error message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';'
Then it is because you forgot to close a } or ) somewhere. Probably because you made a mistake with your parenthesis near the "empty()" functions in your signup script.
▸"hashed pwd error"
If you get an error in the script when you hash the password, then it is because you decided not to follow my steps exactly in the video when I created the database table. Make sure you DON'T set the varchar() to a lower value! When you hash the password it will take up a lot of space in this column, and if you set a lower number then it won't fit!
▸"signup=success but database is empty?"
Here there might be a few reasons for your error. 1st is that you made a syntax/spelling mistake in your code. And yes you will claim that your code is identical to mine, but in 90% of the cases people claim this, I still find a syntax error in their code. So check your code for errors!
2nd reason is that MAMP seems to cause a lot of issues for people. Therefore try using XAMPP and make sure you write the same as me in the dbh.inc.php file.
3nd reason might be because you didn't follow the tutorial 100% when we set up the database at the beginning.
▸"HTTP ERROR 500"
HTTP ERROR 500 is a server error, meaning that you are most likely using an outdated version of apache or mysql. Try updating your servers and make sure that you are using the latest version of PHP.

10/10 tutorial if you understand HTML/CSS and can do that on your own, I started with only a tiny amount of the website built and was able to finish the tutorial with my own implementation (that's 80% identical to yours!). Easy to follow along the hours went quick. All of my bugs were fixable and usually some kind of dumb error.

[@scott-richardson]

As a PHP dev, this was fantastic to watch. I watched purely to see what kind of methods you used and left feeling really impressed by your teaching style. Obviously there's more to do in terms of security, such as using a login token system and checking that the user actually exists in the database using the stored session variables on every page, just in case an 'admin' has deleted that user for some reason since their last login etc. But fantastic video and this is a must-watch for aspiring PHP developers who want to actually build apps and websites (instead of using off the shelf crap like WordPress).

[@elgobert]

Another off the shelf crap hater like me, Hello there !

[@scott-richardson]

@@elgobert Hello friend!

[@scott-richardson]

@@BestVideoMiner creating a session is only half the job. When high level of security is required, in an application or website with lots of users, you need to ensure the user exists in the database on every page load. You can’t rely just on the stored session variable after logging in. There may be cases where an administrator deleted that person’s account or bans them for some reason. They may already be logged in when this happens. So I typically use a login token system whereby we store an entry in the database in a table of “active sessions” and store a session variable/token in that database row. The row stores both the session data and the id of the user, allowing us to check both the user and the session data matches up with that which is stored on the website user’s session data.

[@stormybear4986]

Dani, I used to have the concern about having to pay to get the source code. But after thinking about it, I realize that the value you provide is worth so much more than $5 a month so I am a proud supporter of your work and I hope more people will consider it in that light. Other sites out there charge upwards of $20 a month for material that is not as good as yours.

[@Dani_Krossing]

I daily receive the same question from different people about having to pay $5 for the CSS file, so before asking here is my answer :) Yes you do need to be a Patreon supporter to download my lesson files INCLUDING the CSS file, and here are a few reasons why. 1: You should already know CSS at this point, therefore you should not need my CSS file. 2: This is not a CSS tutorial, and my subscribers has previously voted on me not including CSS in my future videos because it took too long. 3: You are not supposed to "just copy" from this video, you are supposed to "learn and apply" to your own website. Which means that ANY of the CSS used in this video is irrelevant to you. 4: People have already supported me on Patreon to get the CSS file, therefore I won't suddenly make it free to download. 5: Majority of my subscribers where the ones who pushed the idea of me using Patreon for my lesson files, and I have their full support in doing so. I keep getting comments where people want to argue with me on why they should get my lesson material for free. It is how I run my channel so deal with it :)

Hey, great video @Dani Krossing. This really improved my understanding and helped me grow. I'm currently stuck with one final error and I can't get this one done! When I am signed up and click on the "Log out" link, I get a 404 error. (The requested URL was not found on this server.) And I'm 100% sure that the connection () in the header is working, atleast php gives no errors in the script, double and single quotes positioned perfectly. No errors. Also I ran the log-out script manually, and it actually logs me out so the script works just fine. So if you have any tips or any else who is reading this comment, every tip would be greatly appreciated! Edit: I've made some progess. My localhost says that the header.php file doesn't exist, but the header shows on everypage and works fine. (except for the connection with logout.php). Also I checked the pathing in my file explorer and phpstorm and it should show on Localhost, but it does not. Very weird. So I think it has to do something with that. Welp, I've fixed it. When I put the content of header.php on a new made file (I called it hello(header).php) on a different file folder and adjusted the file pathing on every page it actually worked. The header was shown on the localhost. I still don't really get it, it only makes 50% sense for me XD. The logout works fine now because the header content exists now. Weird part was that the header content worked fine on the other pages so that's why it only makes 50% sense for me.

Hi, Can I have a request to sometime in future expand this login tutorial, to login / register with mail aproval? Oh and I need to inform you that based on you old tutorials from before 2016 I have learned enough to got into IBM's PHP developer team.

[@strangelpeaceful]

Wow IBM has low standards.

@@cl4ssychap883 I may be rude but at least I'm honest

[@anisexpert4604]

@@strangelpeaceful bro do you have any informations about IBM !

[@eb4416]

I guess he means that it is no big deal to check on your own how to implement a mail authentication for registration - and therefore no IBM developer should be even asking for a video of this kind in here. That's my interpretation ^^'

[@blessingssinamane8516]

May you please link us to somewhere where we can learn the extra security that is needed as you mentioned in the beginning of the video

[@ganiyumubarak4270]

I love the method of teaching. I've watched some of your tutorials movies on KZbin and helps me a lot. Actually, there are a lot of tutorials movies on KZbin but yours is difference and the best.

[@furiusfighter3415]

Still get the same error like in the last video, it’s the last possible error to get in the functions.inc.php when it tries to insert the input into the databank. I am connected to the databank, because I can select from it and can see if the username is taken, but it won’t insert data into it

[@radukapu]

Amazing video. I’m doing small project and never done login page. You made great , easy to understand tutorial that explains everything. Thank you for sharing!

[@johanneslepsius152]

Thank you so much for this awesome project! Great explanations, i learned a lot and you answered many questions i had before i came here!

For anyone getting invalidUid or invalidEmail at signup, remember the '!' before preg_match and filter_var.

[@cyberstonks]

MY MAN! You fixed my problem!

[@Teddyrobinson]

Ayyyy thanks

[@Blackjac]

many thanks man, I didn't notice that. Still isn't creating a user though...

[@asstoped4088]

I have a question, when you did that thing "to prevent SQL injections" you used it only in sign up form, not in log in form... So he can destroy the database through the log in form

[@kyraex4414]

He did actually by re-using the uidexists function which prepare the statement and return the row if user entered with a correct login details.

[@munteanionut3993]

Maan I love people like this guy. Kudos to u, my dude!

[@heckyes]

I'm impressed there are still people writing PHP at such a low level and in such an old-school kind of way. Generally I find that everyone is all about object oriented development and grabbing a large framework and then plugging various other libraries into it and connecting them together.

[@Dani_Krossing]

I think you missed the point here... 🙂 Yes... if you are going to build any real production ready websites, then you should not re-invent the spoon. There already exists frameworks or CMS plugins that allow you to make login systems, which in most cases will be more secure than what you can come up with. This however, is a educational video. This video is to help people get the hang of PHP, while at the same time building something to help them understand how databases work. So when you come in here writing: "I'm impressed there are still people writing PHP at such a low level and in such an old-school kind of way. " ... Then you are degrading the people who are here to learn. 👈 The people who are new to PHP and struggle while trying to learn from this video, are gonna watch your comment and get demotivated. I am a "teaching channel", not a "how to" channel. 🙂 So please be mindful about comments like these.

[@heckyes]

@@Dani_Krossing You couldn't be more wrong about my comment. I've written PHP almost exactly the way you wrote it here in your tutorial and have been since the early 2000's. I write PHP in my job, every day using the exact kind of techniques you are teaching. That's why I'm impressed there are still people writing and teaching PHP this way. Go take a look around on KZbin, it's you and like 3 other people that are teaching procedural PHP. I much prefer procedural PHP, and mysqli because it's simple and fast.

[@Dani_Krossing]

Ah my apologies for misunderstanding then hehe 🙂 You are right. Most people on KZbin are more concerned with teaching PHP in a more practical sense. And imo that can quickly throw off a lot of people, who might not have a natural affinity for programming. So teaching in a much more “simplified way” through a Procedural non-framework approach, can help get those people caught up. 🙂 And once they feel comfortable enough, they can take the next step into a more practical PHP learning path. 😊

[@heckyes]

@@Dani_Krossing I appreciate you doing that. I've always stressed it's better long term as a student to have a firm understanding of the fundamentals before you try to move on to frameworks and libraries, that way you can appreciate what the framework/library is doing for you AND if that framework of library malfunctions you'll at least be capable of understanding the problem, if not outright fixing it yourself.

When does the profile page episode go online? I need this one😅
