php Login And Registration Example

January 25, 2021 XpertPhp

In this article, we will explain to you how to create a User Login logout and register example in PHP (PHP Login And Registration Example). Sometimes when creating an admin panel or user panel that time we need to Registration, Login, and logout in PHP.

Create database table in MySQL

CREATE TABLE `user` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `first_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `last_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `password` varchar(255) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;

ALTER TABLE `user`
  ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`);

ALTER TABLE `user`
  MODIFY `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
COMMIT;

CREATE TABLE `user` (

`id` int(11) NOT NULL,

`first_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

`last_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

`email` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

`password` varchar(255) NOT NULL

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;

ALTER TABLE `user`

ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`);

ALTER TABLE `user`

MODIFY `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

COMMIT;

Connect to Database

Create a new connection.php file. The code below is to provide how to connect with the database.
The following code is used to connect MySQL from PHP. It requires hostname, database username, database password, and database name.
connection.php

<?php

 $hostname="localhost";
 $username="root";
 $password="test";
 $database="php_login";

 $conn = mysqli_connect($hostname,$username,$password,$database); 
 
?>

<?php

$hostname="localhost";

$username="root";

$password="test";

$database="php_login";

$conn = mysqli_connect($hostname,$username,$password,$database);

Login form in PHP and MySQL

Create a PHP file index.php in this file in add the below code. in this example, we will create the login form using PHP. After the submit the login button then we will check user credentials are valid or not. if credentials are valid then we will store them in the session and redirect the user dashboard page.

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['btnLogin']))
{
    include('connection.php');
	$email = $_POST['email'];
	$password    = md5($_POST['password']);
	if(!empty($email) && !empty($password)){
	
		$sql=mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT * FROM user where email='$email' and password='$password'");
		$row  = mysqli_fetch_array($sql);
		if(is_array($row))
		{
			$_SESSION["id"] = $row['id'];
			$_SESSION["email"]=$row['email'];
			$_SESSION["first_name"]=$row['first_name'];
			$_SESSION["last_name"]=$row['last_name']; 
			header("Location: dashboard.php"); 
		}
		else
		{
			$msg="invalid login credentials";
			header ("Location: index.php?error=".$msg);	
			exit;
		}
    }
	else{
		$msg="All fields are mandatory";
		header ("Location: index.php?error=".$msg);	
		exit;
	}
}
?>

	{
		$msg="Email Id Already Exists";
		header ("Location: register.php?error=".$msg);	
		exit;
	}
	else
	{
		$first_name  = $_POST['firstname'];
		$last_name   = $_POST['lastname'];
		$password    = md5($_POST['password']);
		if(!empty($first_name) && !empty($last_name) && !empty($email) && !empty($password)){		
			$insert="insert into user (first_name,last_name,email,password) values('$first_name','$last_name','$email','$password')";
			mysqli_query($conn,$insert);
			$msg="your account has been registered successfully";
			header('location:index.php?success='.$msg);

Logout example in PHP

Create a new logout.php file in this file to add the below code. in this example, when the user clicks on the logout link then we will clear all sessions and redirect the login page.

<?php
    session_start();
    unset($_SESSION["id"]);
    unset($_SESSION["email"]);
    unset($_SESSION["first_name"]);
    unset($_SESSION["last_name"]);
    header("Location:index.php");
?>

<?php

session_start();

unset($_SESSION["id"]);

unset($_SESSION["email"]);

unset($_SESSION["first_name"]);

unset($_SESSION["last_name"]);

header("Location:index.php");

Create dashboard using PHP

in this example, we are displaying the current user’s first name and last name on the dashboard page. so users can understand and check login.

<?php
session_start();
$id= $_SESSION["id"];	
if(empty($id)){
	header ("Location: index.php");	
	exit;
}
?>
