This README provides a comprehensive guide to the PHP code for a basic yet robust login system.
The provided PHP code implements a straightforward login system where users are prompted to enter their email address and password. Upon submission, the code validates the input and cross-references it with a predefined set of credentials stored in a SQLite database. Successful authentication redirects the user to a main page (main.php), while any errors prompt appropriate error messages.
index.php: Contains the primary login form.header.phpandfooter.php: Include the header and footer sections of the webpage, ensuring consistent styling and structure.main.php: Represents the main page users are redirected to post-login.
- The code efficiently validates form data, displaying a warning message if any required field is empty.
- Login credentials undergo verification against entries stored in a SQLite database (
admin.db), with database interaction handled seamlessly via PHP's SQLite3 extension.
- Upon successful authentication, the user's email address is stored in a session variable (
$_SESSION['email']), ensuring persistent authentication across multiple requests.
- Database Configuration: Ensure proper configuration of the SQLite database (
admin.db). - Web Server Configuration: Deploy PHP files to a web server with PHP support enabled.
- Access Control: Modify the PHP code to specify the correct email address and hashed password for authentication.
- Access the login page (
index.php) via a web browser. - Enter valid credentials (email and password) into the login form.
- Click "Login" to submit the form.
- Upon successful authentication, you'll be redirected to the main page (
main.php).
