Making A Cool Login System With PHP, MySQL & jQuery

Beautiful AJAX Form Building Script - FormBuilder

Introduction

Today we are making a cool & simple login / registration system. It will give you the ability to easily create a member-only area on your site and provide an easy registration process.
It is going to be PHP driven and store all the registrations into a MySQL database.
To add the needed flair, we are using the amazing sliding jQuery panel, developed by Web-kreation.

Step 1 – MySQL

First we have to create the table that will hold all the registrations. This code is available in table.sql.

table.sql

view sourceprint?
01--
02-- Table structure for table `tz_members`
03--
04 
05CREATE TABLE `tz_members` (
06  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
07  `usr` varchar(32) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL default '',
08  `pass` varchar(32) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL default '',
09  `email` varchar(255) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL default '',
10  `regIP` varchar(15) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL default '',
11  `dt` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
12  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
13  UNIQUE KEY `usr` (`usr`)
14) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
Notice that we’ve defined the id as an integer with auto_increment – it is automatically assigned to every site member. Also, we’ve defined usr as an unique key – no two users with the same usernames are allowed.
We later use this in the registration to determine whether the username has been taken.
After you create the table, do not forget to fill in your database credentials in connect.php so you can run the demo on your own server.

Step 2 – XHTML

First, we have to incorporate Web-kreation’s form into our page.

112<li class="right"> li>
113ul>
114 
115div>
116div>
At several places in this code, there are some PHP operators that check whether $_SESSION['usr'] or $_SESSION['id'] are defined. This is true only if the page visitor is logged in the site, which allows us to show specific content to site members. We will cover it in detail in a moment.
After the form, we put the rest of the page.
view sourceprint?
01<div class="pageContent">
02 
03<div id="main">

05<div class="container">

Nothing special here. Lets continue with the PHP backend.
The login system
The login system

Step 3 – PHP

It is time to convert the form into a complete registration and login system. To achieve it, we will need more than the usual amount of PHP. I’ll divide the code into two parts.
If you plan to add more code, it would be a good idea to split it into several files which are included when needed. This aids the development of large projects and allows code reuse in different parts of a site.
But lets see how we’ve done it here.

demo.php

view sourceprint?
01define('INCLUDE_CHECK',true);
02 
03require 'connect.php';
04require 'functions.php';
05 
06// Those two files can be included only if INCLUDE_CHECK is defined
07 
08session_name('tzLogin');
09// Starting the session
10 
11session_set_cookie_params(2*7*24*60*60);
12// Making the cookie live for 2 weeks
13 
14session_start();
15 
16if($_SESSION['id'] && !isset($_COOKIE['tzRemember']) && !$_SESSION['rememberMe'])
17{
18    // If you are logged in, but you don't have the tzRemember cookie (browser restart)
19    // and you have not checked the rememberMe checkbox:
20 
21    $_SESSION = array();
22    session_destroy();
23 
24    // Destroy the session
25}
26 
27if(isset($_GET['logoff']))
28{
29    $_SESSION = array();
30    session_destroy();
31    header("Location: demo.php");
32    exit;
33}
34 
35if($_POST['submit']=='Login')
36{
37    // Checking whether the Login form has been submitted
38 
39    $err = array();
40    // Will hold our errors
41 
42    if(!$_POST['username'] || !$_POST['password'])
43        $err[] = 'All the fields must be filled in!';
44 
45    if(!count($err))
46    {
47        $_POST['username'] = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
48        $_POST['password'] = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']);
49        $_POST['rememberMe'] = (int)$_POST['rememberMe'];
50 
51        // Escaping all input data
52 
53        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT id,usr FROM tz_members WHERE usr='{$_POST['username']}' AND pass='".md5($_POST['password'])."'"));
54 
55        if($row['usr'])
56        {
57            // If everything is OK login
58 
59            $_SESSION['usr']=$row['usr'];
60            $_SESSION['id'] = $row['id'];
61            $_SESSION['rememberMe'] = $_POST['rememberMe'];
62 
63            // Store some data in the session
64 
65            setcookie('tzRemember',$_POST['rememberMe']);
66            // We create the tzRemember cookie
67        }
68        else $err[]='Wrong username and/or password!';
69    }
70 
71    if($err)
72        $_SESSION['msg']['login-err'] = implode('
',$err);
73        // Save the error messages in the session
74 
75    header("Location: demo.php");
76    exit;
77}
Here the tzRemember cookie acts as a control whether we should log-off users that have not marked the “remember me” checkbox. If the cookie is not present (due to browser restart) and the visitor has not checked the remember me option, we destroy the session.
The session itself is kept alive for two weeks (as set by session_set_cookie_params).
Lets see the second part of demo.php.
view sourceprint?
01else if($_POST['submit']=='Register')
02{
03    // If the Register form has been submitted
04    $err = array();
05 
06    if(strlen($_POST['username'])<4 || strlen($_POST['username'])>32)
07    {
08        $err[]='Your username must be between 3 and 32 characters!';
09    }
10 
11    if(preg_match('/[^a-z0-9\-\_\.]+/i',$_POST['username']))
12    {
13        $err[]='Your username contains invalid characters!';
14    }
15 
16    if(!checkEmail($_POST['email']))
17    {
18        $err[]='Your email is not valid!';
19    }
20 
21    if(!count($err))
22    {
23        // If there are no errors
24        $pass = substr(md5($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].microtime().rand(1,100000)),0,6);
25        // Generate a random password
26 
27        $_POST['email'] = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
28        $_POST['username'] = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
29        // Escape the input data
30 
31        mysql_query("   INSERT INTO tz_members(usr,pass,email,regIP,dt)
32                    VALUES(
33                    '".$_POST['username']."',
34                    '".md5($pass)."',
35                    '".$_POST['email']."',
36                    '".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."',
37                    NOW()
38        )");
39 
40        if(mysql_affected_rows($link)==1)
41        {
42            send_mail(  'demo-test@tutorialzine.com',
43                    $_POST['email'],
44                    'Registration System Demo - Your New Password',
45                    'Your password is: '.$pass);
46                    $_SESSION['msg']['reg-success']='We sent you an email with your new password!';
47        }
48        else $err[]='This username is already taken!';
49    }
50 
51    if(count($err))
52    {
53        $_SESSION['msg']['reg-err'] = implode('
',$err);
54    }
55 
56    header("Location: demo.php");
57    exit;
58}
59 
60$script = '';
61if($_SESSION['msg'])
62{
63    // The script below shows the sliding panel on page load
64    $script = '
65    ';
71}
We store all the encountered errors in an $err array, which is later assigned to a $_SESSION variable. This allows it to be accessible after a browser redirect.
You may have noticed on some sites, that when you submit a form and later refresh the page, the data is sent all over again. This could become problematic as it could lead to a double registrations and unnecessary server load.
We use the header function to prevent this, by redirecting the browser to the same page. This starts a fresh view of the page, without the browser associating it with a form submit. The result is that, on page refresh, no data is sent.
But as we use $_SESSION to store all the encountered errors it is important that we unset these variables, once we show the errors to the user. Otherwise they will be shown on every page view (the highlighted lines on the XHTML part of the tutorial).
Also notice how we create an additional script (lines 60-70 of the second part of the PHP code) which shows the panel on page load, so that the messages are visible to the user.
Now lets take a look at the CSS.
The registration / login system
The registration / login system

Step 4 – CSS

The sliding panel comes with its own style sheet. This means we are only left with creating the page styles.

demo.css

view sourceprint?
01body,h1,h2,h3,p,quote,small,form,input,ul,li,ol,label{
02    /* The reset rules */
03    margin:0px;
04    padding:0px;
05}
06 
07body{
08    color:#555555;
09    font-size:13px;
10    background: #eeeeee;
11    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
12    width: 100%;
13}
14 
15h1{
16    font-size:28px;
17    font-weight:bold;
18    font-family:"Trebuchet MS",Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
19    letter-spacing:1px;
20}
21 
22h2{
23    font-family:"Arial Narrow",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
24    font-size:10px;
25    font-weight:normal;
26    letter-spacing:1px;
27    padding-left:2px;
28    text-transform:uppercase;
29    white-space:nowrap;
30    margin-top:4px;
31    color:#888888;
32}
33 
34#main p{
35    padding-bottom:8px;
36}
37 
38.clear{
39    clear:both;
40}
41 
42#main{
43    width:800px;
44    /* Centering it in the middle of the page */
45    margin:60px auto;
46}
47 
48.container{
49    margin-top:20px;
50 
51    background:#FFFFFF;
52    border:1px solid #E0E0E0;
53    padding:15px;
54 
55    /* Rounded corners */
56    -moz-border-radius:20px;
57    -khtml-border-radius: 20px;
58    -webkit-border-radius: 20px;
59    border-radius:20px;
60}
61 
62.err{
63    color:red;
64}
65 
66.success{
67    color:#00CC00;
68}
69 
70a, a:visited {
71    color:#00BBFF;
72    text-decoration:none;
73    outline:none;
74}
75 
76a:hover{
77    text-decoration:underline;
78}
79 
80.tutorial-info{
81    text-align:center;
82    padding:10px;
83}

Step 5 – jQuery

The sliding panel comes with its own jQuery files.

demo.php

view sourceprint?
01<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js">script>
02 
03
04
05
08 
09<script src="login_panel/js/slide.js" type="text/javascript">script>
10 
11php echo $script; ?>
First we include the jQuery library from Google’s CDN. Later comes a special fix for IE6 PNG transparency issues and lastly the panel’s script is included.
At the bottom of the page is the $script variable – it shows the panel on page load if needed.
With this our cool login system is complete!

Conclusion

Today we learned how to use a fantastic form component and turn it into a functional log in / registration system.
You are free to built upon this code and modify it any way you see fit.
