Trying to Add Login Page to Existing Site

Report · Jul 31, 2020

I have an html website in DW and am trying to add a login screen to one section. I've tried to create a mySQL table for it on my hosting server, and am now trying to use MAMP to link the html to the php db. I'm a novice at this and nothing is working. Can anyone walk me through the steps of how to do this? Thanks.

Using DMXzone extensions, have a look here https://www.dmxzone.com/go/32980/creating-a-complete-login-system-with-dmxzone-security-provider/

Hand coding, see here https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/php-tutorial/php-mysql-login-system.php

Does your server support PHP code?

Are you naming your log-in page and scripts with a .php file extension?

Single page, password protected. Save as log-in.php.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Password Protected Content</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

<!--minimal demo styles-->
<style>
html {font-size:16px}

body {font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", "DejaVu Sans", Verdana, "sans-serif";
font-size: 1.5rem;
width:80%;
margin:0 auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>


<?php
// Define your username and password here
$username = "admin";
$password = "pass123";

if (isset($_POST['txtUsername']) != $username || $_POST['txtPassword'] != $password) {
?>
<!--LOG-IN FORM-->
<form name="form" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<fieldset>
<legend>Log-In</legend>

<p><label for="txtUsername">Username:</label>
<br>
<input type="text" title="Enter your Username" name="txtUsername" id="txtUsername" required placeholder="5 characters"></p>

<p><label for="txtPassword">Password:</label>
<br>
<input type="password" title="Enter your password" name="txtPassword" id="txtPassword" required placeholder="7 characters"></p>

<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</fieldset>
</form>

<?php
}
else {
?>
