Doorverwijzen naar startpagina na inloggen php

Dit voorbeeld zou je een beetje moeten helpen, maar ik raad aan om mysqli te gebruiken en het is een heel slecht idee om je wachtwoorden in platte tekst op te slaan. Overweeg om mysqli op te zoeken, wachtwoorden te hashen en vertrouwd te raken met php 5.4, aangezien veel van de hier gebruikte functies ZIJN veranderd en niet langer worden ondersteund.

checklogin.php

<?php

$host="host"; // Host name 
$username="username"; // Mysql username 
$password="password"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="database"; // Database name 
$tbl_name="table"; // Table name 

// Connect to server and select databse.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

// username and password sent from form 
$myusername=$_POST['myusername']; 
$mypassword=$_POST['mypassword']; 

// Remove Magic Quotes
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()){
  $myusername = stripslashes($myusername);
  $mypassword = stripslashes($mypassword);
}
$sql = sprintf(
  "SELECT * FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='%s' and password='%s' LIMIT 1;",
  mysql_real_escape_string($myusername),
  mysql_real_escape_string($mypassword)
);
$result = mysql_query($sql);

// MySQL count
$count = mysql_num_rows($result);

if ($count){
  $_SESSION['username'] = $myusername; // $_SESSION['loggedin'] = true or false would work too
  $_SESSION['mypassword'] = $mypassword; // Why store the password in session data?
  header("Location: login_success.php");
}else{
  header("Location: main_login.php?msg=Login_Failed");
}
?>
