This repository contains a simple and secure login script implemented in PHP with an SQLite database for user authentication. The script offers features such as:
- User registration: Users can create new accounts by providing a username, email, and password.
- User login: Registered users can log in using their credentials to access their dashboard.
- User dashboard: After logging in, users are redirected to their personalized dashboard where they can view their profile information and submit messages.
- Message submission: Users can submit messages through a form on their dashboard.
- Public messages: All users can view the public messages submitted by other users.
- User messages: Users can view and manage their own messages, including editing and deleting them.
- PHP 7.0 or higher
- SQLite3 extension enabled
- Web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx)
- Python 3.x (for running the database creation script)
- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Run the
cr_db.pyscript to create the SQLite database file. - Configure your web server to serve the PHP files.
- Access the login page (
index.php) in your browser and start using the script.
- Navigate to the login page (
index.php). - Enter your username/email and password.
- Click on the "Login" button.
- Upon successful authentication, you will be redirected to the dashboard page (
dashboard.php).
- Passwords are securely hashed using PHP's built-in
password_hash()function before storing them in the database. - User input is sanitized and validated to prevent SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
- Sessions are used to manage user authentication and maintain logged-in state.
