This is a simple login page for a web application built using PHP, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. The login page allows users to log in with their credentials and provides password reset functionality through email.
- Login Form: Users can enter their username and password to log in to the web application.
- Validation: The login form validates user inputs and displays appropriate error messages for invalid credentials or non-existent user accounts.
- Forgot Password: Users can reset their passwords by clicking on the "Forgot Password?" link. They will receive a password reset link via email.
- Password Reset: The password reset link sent via email allows users to create a new password.
- Security: User passwords are securely hashed before storing them in the database using PHP's
password_hashfunction. The application also uses prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. - Session Handling: User sessions are managed using PHP's
$_SESSIONsuperglobal to maintain user login status across pages. - Database: The application uses a MySQL database to store user information, including usernames, passwords, full names, and businesses.
- Role-Based Access: Users have different roles (admin, supervisor, user) based on which certain pages or features are accessible.
The login application consists of the following pages:
login.php: The main login page where users can enter their credentials and log in. It handles user authentication and displays error messages for invalid login attempts.create-user.php: A page for admin users to create new user accounts. It includes form fields for username, password, full name, and business. Passwords are hashed before storage in the database.create_user_process.php: The backend script that handles user creation and inserts user data into the database.dashboard.php: An example dashboard page accessible to authenticated users.
