Hey guys,
So I can't seem to figure out why my live server is throwing this error. This works perfectly on my local server. Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this, or lead me in the right direction as to fixing this so my login and registration scripts work?
This is the error that shows:
"Notice: Undefined variable: mysqli in /home/public_html/login.php on line 44
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function prepare() on null in /home/public_html/login.php:44 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/public_html/login.php on line 44"
My code is below.
Login.php
<?php
// Initialize the session
session_start();
// Check if the user is already logged in, if yes then redirect him to welcome page
if(isset($_SESSION["loggedin"]) && isset($_SESSION["loggedin"]) === true){
header("location: profile.php");
exit;
}
// Include config file
require_once "config.php";
// Define variables and initialize with empty values
$username = $password = "";
$username_err = $password_err = "";
// Processing form data when form is submitted
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
// Check if username is empty
if(empty(trim($_POST["username"]))){
$username_err = "Please enter username.";
} else{
$username = trim($_POST["username"]);
}
// Check if password is empty
if(empty(trim($_POST["password"]))){
$password_err = "Please enter your password.";
} else{
$password = trim($_POST["password"]);
}
// Validate credentials
if(empty($username_err) && empty($password_err)){
// Prepare a select statement
$sql = "SELECT id, username, password FROM users WHERE username = ?";
if($stmt = $mysqli->prepare($sql)){
// Bind variables to the prepared statement as parameters
$stmt->bind_param("s", $param_username);
// Set parameters
$param_username = $username;
// Attempt to execute the prepared statement
if($stmt->execute()){
// Store result
$stmt->store_result();
// Check if username exists, if yes then verify password
if($stmt->num_rows == 1){
// Bind result variables
$stmt->bind_result($id, $username, $hashed_password);
if($stmt->fetch()){
if(password_verify($password, $hashed_password)){
// Password is correct, so start a new session
session_start();
// Store data in session variables
$_SESSION["loggedin"] = true;
$_SESSION["id"] = $id;
$_SESSION["username"] = $username;
// Redirect user to welcome page
header("location:profile.php");
} else{
// Display an error message if password is not valid
$password_err = "The password you entered was not valid.";
}
}
} else{
// Display an error message if username doesn't exist
$username_err = "No account found with that username.";
}
} else{
echo "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later.";
}
}
// Close statement
$stmt->close();
}
// Close connection
$mysqli->close();
}
