i found this tutorial on infinityfree forum Secure Login System with PHP and MySQL but it tells to install XAMPP and i dont understand as i dont find it and even there is a .htaccess code that i dont understand if anyone can help me find out how to make a login and sign in ill be happy to listen!
XAMPP is a local server used for testing PHP code on your local device.
And when searching for login forms on Google, make sure you find one with good reviews. 90% of login forms out there are not coded correctly, and have security vulnerabilities in them.
ok thanks but i found Secure Login System with PHP and MySQL on a reply on this forum but if you have one to share with me ill be happy
and now i did some diging and there is an error but i did everything right https://0974.rf.gd/phplogin/index.html Secure Login System with PHP and MySQL and the error is when 4. Authenticating Users with PHP
Turn on error messages (Control panel → PHP Config) and reload the page to see what to error message actually is,
you can try this. install it via composer and then upload the files to the file manager.
wtf is a composer? like .zip?
Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. It’s like an app store, but instead of managing apps on your phone you can use it to manage third party code in your website, and make it easy to install and update.
In my personal opinion, I wouldn’t use an off the shelf authentication library. I’m more a fan of just taking a full web framework, like Laravel, which comes with a lot more functionality out of the box than just authentication, and encourages a clean structure of your project. I have built my own authentication systems too, but that was mostly as a learning exercise. If it’s also your goal to learn, then please do go ahead and implement it yourself.
okk thanks well do you have the link please of the exercise or the page
When I learned it for myself, I was in school and had course material for it. But I like to learn by doing, and just having my own project and plowing through by mixing and matching things from different guides and tutorials.
For learning authentication, the guide you had seems good enough. For Composer, there are plenty of other guides to find online, and I don’t have any specific recommendations.
