I am creating a login page in PHP. On entering wrong username/password I am showing a javascript alert box. I now want to navigate user back to login page on clicking "OK" button of alert box . Am using "header(location:url)", but then javascript code is not working.
Is there any other way to do this.
You can try this
echo "<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>alert('error');
</script>";
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='1; URL=login.php'>";
For JS redirect, try;
window.location.href="http://url";
Hope this helps :)
Put this code in the login error page ..
<script>
alert('Wrong Username/Password');
window.location = "http://www.google.com";
</script>
But if you are familiar with jquery i advice you to do the login process with ajax request and show the notifications in the same page instead of navigating back and forth.
If you need i can create a simple one in plnkr
For the js redirect, u can use
window.location.href='http://whereEver';
Note: Username/ password validations are server side. Assuming its an ajax call, after you get the validation results, instead of triggering an alert, have a div in the page itself where you can inject the server response. Alerting looks unprofessional.
Better approach would be something like
HTML
<div class="response"></div>
CSS
.response {
display:none;
}
.error {
color: red; // find a better color
}
PHP
On validation failure, have a variable, lets call it status and make it false.
The validation response can be something like,
$response = ['status' => false, 'message' => 'Username / password mismatch'];
Then send back the results
die(json_encode($response));
Note: If you are using PHP < 5.4, use
$response = array('status' => false, 'message' => 'Username / password mismatch');
JS
$.ajax({
url: 'url-to-post',
type: 'POST',
data: $('form[name="your-form-name"]').serialize(),
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
if (!data.status) {
// inject into response
$('.response').addClass('error').html(data.message).show();
}
else
{
// redirect them to home page, i assume
window.location.href = '/home';
}
}
});

so on submit of my form class .login this triggers an ajax call to login.php Inside of login.php there is a call to welcome.php to ensure that the encrypted password matches that in the database and that the user name entered exists in the database. It would also be helpful to mention my ajax call is succeeding in it's attempts to run, but no redirection to my welcome.php occurs. So, my question to you all, is am I going about this in the correct manor?
$('.login').on('submit', function(){
// serialize the form
var formData = $(this).serialize();
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : 'login.php',
data : formData,
success: function() {
alert("Success");
},
error: function(xhr) {
alert("fail");
}
})
.done(function (data) {
})
.fail(function (error) {
console.log(data);
});
return false;
});

<?php

(isset($_POST['pass-login']) && !empty($_POST['pass-login']))){
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name FROM test_table WHERE name=?;');
$passLogin = $_POST['pass-login'];
$nameLogin = $_POST['user-login'];
$sth->execute(Array($nameLogin));
if(password_verify($passLogin, $hashed_password) && $sth->rowCount() > 0) {
header("Location:welcome.php");
exit;
}
}
else{
echo 'error';
}

You will need to redirect your page using javascript. An Ajax request cannot redirect the users browser from server side. I recommend if your login is successful, pass back a success flag for your ajax success() function to handle then have THAT do the redirect using window.location.href.
Just a heads up in case you weren't aware, your script will always return successful. Even if you echo 'error';. You'd need to actually form a failing HTTP status code for the error function to execute, or alternatively have an error in your code!
The point of Ajax is to make an HTTP request without leaving the current page. The browser doesn't appear to redirect because the results are returned to the Ajax handler which does nothing with them (your done function is empty).
Your goal appears to be to make an HTTP request and then display the Welcome page.
You should not use Ajax. Just use a regular form submission.
If there is a problem with the submitted data (and most of the time there will not be, so it isn't worth applying Ajax for that case) then redisplay the form.
This is possible, however you are never reaching the redirect call because
$hashed_password in the if statement is not defined.
This will throw an error message but you will need to use a tool like chrome inspector > network > login.php to see the response.
Hope this helps debug in the future :)
I have a login form which I currently use AJAX to display the error messages from my login.php script, e.g. "incorrect email", onto a div in my login form on my index.php rather than loading a new page with the errors on them.
However when the details are correct and the login is successful, it also displays the entire successful page location onto that div inside my login form too. I don't know how to fix this, I have tried an if statement to say if it is successful load a new location, but still doesn't work. Here is my AJAX for my login form:
$("#login_button").click(function() {
$.post($("#login_form").attr("action"),
$("#login_form :input").serializeArray(),
function(info) {
if (info.status != null) {
header('Location: home.php');
} else {
$("#login_errors").html(info)
};
});
// Prevent the default action from occurring.
return false;
});
Does anybody know how to fix this issue?
Going wrong with this line header('Location: home.php');, this is a PHP statement which you are trying to use under JS.
you could use, window.location = "home.php"; to redirect under JS.
Another thing what i believe is faulty
the callback function expects two parameters,
the content what you return on your action script.
the status of posted form
change function(info) { to function(info, status) {
and use under you if statement, something like this if (status!="success") {
know more about post in JS : http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ajax_get_post.asp
I have 2 pages, process page and form page.
So basically the form page consists of a lot of input text and once the user click the submit button, it runs the ajax call and call the process page. the process page requires user's credentials like id and password.
My ajax call basically success run, but the process page is not running. When there is no user logged in, the process page will output the undefined index message. In this case is the id or password, because basically there is no data passed(ID and Password) to the process page.
This is my ajax call function
function postTweet(){
$.ajax({
url : 'blablabla',
type : 'POST',
data : blablabla,
success: function() {
div1.append("Success!");
}})
.fail(function(data){
console.log(data);
});
}
So basically after the non-loggedin user click the submit button, the Success message will still be displayed out, eventhough basically there is no process running in the process page.
What I want is, if the process basically is not running, I should prompt out a proper message.
Can someone help me please?
Any help given is highly appreciated. Thanks
Your success function can handle arguments (look at ajax success here)
For example:
PHP File
<?php
echo json_encode(array('test' => "hello world")); // echo any array data
exit(); // Stop php from processing more, you only want the json encoded data to be echoed
?>
Javascript File
...
dataType: 'json', // This is needed to convert the echoed php data to a json object
success: function (response) { // "response" will be the converted json object
console.log(response);
},
...
The console.log(response); would look something like Object {test: "hello world"}
EDIT
In your case, you could do something like this:
<?php
if ( ! isset($username) ) {
echo json_encode(array('success' => FALSE, 'message' => "Username is incorrect."));
}
...
exit();
?>
To alert the above error message in javascript:
...
success: function (response) {
if (response.success) {
alert('success!');
} else {
alert(response.message);
}
},
...
There are 2 ways to handle this issue.
if form page contain login credential input then you can validate login credentials are filled or not in java script and then call ajax process.
you can validate login credentials in ajax file using isset() method and if login credentials are not validated then you can send a simple message to ajax calls about login failed.
I'm trying to program a custom contact content manager in HTML/CSS with PHP/mySQL/Jquery to make it dynamic.
I have my login form which send the $_REQUEST to my connection.php, when the auth is correct, I return json to my Jquery and when it is good, I use window.location.replace to redirect the user to the control panel.
When I'm on the index.php of the control panel, I want to check if the user's session_id is into my sql database and if it exceeded the expiration time.
I have my functions which check this and return the good value but I want to execute it and send the result to my jquery without using GET or POST method.
If I remember, you have
$.ajax({
type: "POST", //or GET method
dataType: "json",
url: $(this).attr('action'),
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function({
}),
error: function({
})
});
But you must specify the element "data" no? can I use it without data and put "file.php" as url without POST or GET method?
I want to get into my success method the result of my php functions :
if the json return false, the user can access the page.
if the json return true, I will logout the user and redirect him to the login.php
I'm doing this system because I don't want anybody can access the control panel by writing the correct url or after 4 days.. I put an expiration time to one hour (for the moment) for anybody who login into the control panel and I check on all page that the expiration time isn't exceeded.
I saw that using 'window.location.replace' doesn't allow to return to the previous page.. has anyone a solution? I don't want to have an event to redirect the user, only redirect him to another url (my file.php) after a condition.
Currently, I use it to execute php without POST, GET method with $.ajax..
$(document).ready(function(){
$(function(){
var ticket = '<? echo $tickets; ?>';
console.log(ticket);
if ( ticket === '' )
$(".new_ticket h2").after('<p>Aucun nouveau ticket.</p>');
else
{
console.log('else');
$(".new_ticket h2").after('<p>Il y a un ticket.</p>');
}
});
});
I have a last question, when I write :
$(document).ready(function(){
$(function(){
}
Is it directly executed by jquery when the DOM is ready? can I write mutliple '$(function(){}' in a file ?
Thanks for the help!
What is the problem with using POST or GET? It works perfectly fine.
Here foobar.php returns a json object with status in it. Change it to whatever your script return.
$.post('foobar.php', function(data) {
if( data.status === false) {
//All good
}else {
//Redirect
window.location.href = "http://newpagehere.com/file.php";
}
});
With window.location.href you will be able to use the back and forward buttons.
And yes, when using $(document).ready(function() { }); it runs when the DOM is ready.
http://api.jquery.com/ready/
One last thing is that I would not rely on Javascript here, I would do all checking with PHP instead when the user changes page. I would also handle the redirection there.
I have an HTML form that is processed via PHP, and it's a simple login script. This works fine, but I want to catch the error with AJAX. Basically, if the PHP function to check the login returns false, it should write that error onto the DOM via jQuery. However, if I catch the form submission with AJAX, it will stop the PHP file from doing the redirect. I want to stop the form from redirecting only if the PHP file returns false. Any help would be much appreciated. Here's some code to illustrate what I'm talking about:
controller_login.js
$(document).ready(function(){
$('form.loginSubmit').on('submit',function(){
var that = $(this),
url=that.attr('action'),
type=that.attr('method'),
data={};
that.find('[name]').each(function(index,value){
var that=$(this),
name=that.attr('name');
value=that.val();
data[name]=value;
});
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: type,
data: data,
success: function(response){
errorHandle(response);
}
});
return false;
});
});
function errorHandle(error)
{
console.log(error);
}
This is the file that will eventually modify the DOM if there is a PHP error. For now, it just logs.
checkLogin.php
if($verifySqlRequest==1){
session_register("loginUsername");
session_register("loginPassword");
header("location:http://localhost/asd/dashboard.html");
echo "login success!";
}
else{
echo "Wrong user name or password...";
}
This is just a snippet of the login authentication, but essentially I want that last echo to be communicated to controller_login.js, but it should continue the redirect if the login is successfully authenticated. Any help would be much appreciated!, thanks!
The browser isn't going to respond to a 302 or 301 (redirect) from an Ajax call. You can still certainly respond with that code, but, you'll have to handle the redirect manually via script:
window.location.replace("http://localhost/asd/dashboard.html");
or you can do it like this
> echo '<script>window.location.replace("http://localhost/asd/dashboard.html")</script>';
and
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: type,
data: data,
success: function(response){
$('#response_element').html(response);
}
The point of using Ajax is to avoid reloading the page. If the user is going to be redirected upon login you may as well just submit the form synchronously and let PHP display the error.
Just for the sake of argument, if you wanted to do an Ajax function and display a message returned from the server you would NOT do:
<?php
echo 'this is the message';
?>
You would do
<?php
$response = array('message' => 'this is my message');
return json_encode($response);
?>
However, you can't redirect AND return data.
