PHP - Register User

In a-simple-cms, we don't have a page that allows to create new user. So we create this page now and use jQuery form validation plugin to validate the input before forwarding the request.

Now the admin login page is

We create a admin register link to the registration page

See the code of admin registration page

if (isset($_POST['name'], $_POST['pass1'])) {

    include_once('../includes/connection.php');
    include_once('../includes/chash.php');

    $chash = new CHash();

    $name = $_POST["name"];
    $password = $_POST["pass1"];
    $phash = $chash->generateHash($password);

    $query = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO user (user_name, user_password) VALUES (?, ?)");
    $query->bindValue(1, $name);
    $query->bindValue(2, $phash);

    if($query->execute()){
        echo "admin created!";
    } else {
        echo "creation failed.";
    }

} else {
    // display registration form
}

Include css, jQuery library, jQuery validation plug in and custom validation code.

Code of custom.js

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#form").validate({
        rules: {
            name: {
                required: true,
                minlength: 5,
                maxlength: 20
            },

            pass1: {
                required: true,
                minlength: 8,
                maxlength: 30
            },

            pass2: {
                required: true,
                minlength: 8,
                maxlength: 30,
                equalTo: "#pass1"
            },

            username: {
                required: true
            },

            password: {
                required: true
            }
        }
    });
});

Registration form

Admin Registration


Admin Name

Confirm Password
    





back to login

See the form check result

Create admin with name "admin"

Created

Admin entry created in database

Because user_name is primary key, so we cannot create another admin with "admin" again.

All right, now we can login with the admin created
