Succesful-secure-powerful Login System tested on trap17 and works great

[illdevilinc 0]

Okay,
Before i get started some of the things in this are very hard to understand and may require some time to setup.
Things you should know that gave me trouble when trying to make this work
1) The PHP code is very picky the code will not work if all the filenames are not lowercase
2) The code wil require editing in many of the file names so make sure to read the instructions i give for each!
3) The code requires that you know how to edit the mysql database through code activation( for Xisto servers i include a reference on how to do it.)
4) These codes are not optional if you want a login system you must use all codes!
5) In these codes cookies are used so you must warn your users that they must let cookies come from your site.

Ok well now lets get started in coding.

STEP 1

1) copy this code into note pad
2) save this code as tables.sql
 

##  dbtables.sql##  Simplifies the task of creating all the database tables#  used by the login system.##  Can be run from command prompt by typing:##  mysql -u yourusername -D yourdatabasename < dbtables.sql##  That's with dbtables.sql in the mysql bin directory, but#  you can just include the path to dbtables.sql and that's#  fine too.##  Written by: Jpmaster77 a.k.a. The Grandmaster of C++ (GMC)#  Last Updated: August 13, 2004###  Table structure for users table#DROP TABLE IF EXISTS users;CREATE TABLE users ( username varchar(30) primary key, password varchar(32), userid varchar(32), userlevel tinyint(1) unsigned not null, email varchar(50), timestamp int(11) unsigned not null);##  Table structure for active users table#DROP TABLE IF EXISTS active_users;CREATE TABLE active_users ( username varchar(30) primary key, timestamp int(11) unsigned not null);##  Table structure for active guests table#DROP TABLE IF EXISTS active_guests;CREATE TABLE active_guests ( ip varchar(15) primary key, timestamp int(11) unsigned not null);##  Table structure for banned users table#DROP TABLE IF EXISTS banned_users;CREATE TABLE banned_users ( username varchar(30) primary key, timestamp int(11) unsigned not null);

(for Xisto hosting users)
Ok now that the file is saved onto your computer log into your website cpanel (ex. yoursite.trap17.com/cpanel or yoursite.com/cpanel) go into mysql databases, create a new database through that or use an existing one if you want. Now on the same page create a login name and password for the database that you want ,set the permission to ALL, then click create. Now go into the bottom of the page and click the link that takes you to an online database editer. Select the database your using on the drop down box at the left. At the top find Query and click it. Now in the select file form click browse and find the file you created above and click ok. Then create the file (if it dosent do it automaticly). Then thats it your done with creating the tables now you may move onto PART 2!


PART 2

1)Okay well we are now getting into the look and edit part. The only part you HAVE to edit in this section is this part:

define("DB_SERVER", "localhost");define("DB_USER", "your_name");define("DB_PASS", "your_pass");define("DB_NAME", "your_dbname");

Leave localhost as is if your on Xisto hosting
Your_name must be changed to the login name you created for the database you made.
Your_pass must be changed to the password you created for the database you made.
You_dbname must be changed to the name you gave to your database ***WARNING*** REFER TO YOUR MYSQL SERVER FOR YOUR NAME AS IT MAY HAVE MODIFIED THE NAME.
You may change other needs to your liking but im not going into detail with the advanced editing. And also when you edit this stuff make sure ALL the information is 100% CORRECT or you will not make a succesful login system.
2) When all information is modified to the way you like it then save it as constants.php

<?/** * Constants.php * * This file is intended to group all constants to * make it easier for the site administrator to tweak * the login script. * */ /** * Database Constants - these constants are required * in order for there to be a successful connection * to the MySQL database.

Just noticed that the 4th Part code listing ends with an open-ended ElseIf statement. So the code will fail as it exists.
Perhaps the Author could remedy this flaw in the listing by including the Part Four (and the balance of the Script) as an additional posting???
Also, this code looks to be written by someone other than the posting Member, with no credit given to the original author except the line inside the code field.
