Below is a simple registration script using php, I obviously want to store peoples data securely. I was wondering where would be the best place to implement the hashing script? Would it be implemented in the script below or have it alone?
<?php
//values to be inserted in database table
//session_start();
include('connect.php');
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password= $_POST['password'];
$username= $_POST['username'];
$query = "INSERT INTO users (username, email, password) VALUES(?, ?, ?)";
$statement = $mysqli->prepare($query);
//bind parameters for markers, where (s = string, i = integer, d = double, b = blob)
$statement->bind_param('sss', $username, $email, $password);
if($statement->execute()){
print 'Success! ID of last inserted record is : ' .$statement->insert_id .'<br />';
}else{
die('Error : ('. $mysqli->errno .') '. $mysqli->error);
}
$statement->close();
?>
Another thing, when fetching peoples information from the database so they can sign in do I fetch their hashed password or do I have to recreate a hashed version of the password they've entered? I've read different ways of doing it, I just want to know the most secure. Thank you
EDIT:
This is my login code
<?php
include 'connect.php';
if ( !isset($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']) ) {
// Could not get the data that should have been sent.
die ('Username and/or password does not exist!');
}
// Prepare our SQL
if ($stmt = $mysqli->prepare('SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = ?')) {
// Bind parameters (s = string, i = int, b = blob, etc), hash the password using the PHP password_hash function.
$stmt->bind_param('s', $_POST['username']);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->store_result();
// Store the result so we can check if the account exists in the database.
if ($stmt->num_rows > 0) {
$stmt->bind_result($password);
$stmt->fetch();
// Account exists, now we verify the password.
if (password_verify($_POST['password'], $password)) {
// Verification success! User has loggedin!
echo 'You have logged in!';
} else {
echo 'Incorrect username and/or password!';
}
} else {
echo 'Incorrect username blar password!';
}
$stmt->close();
} else {
echo 'Could not prepare statement!';
}
?>
ANSWER:
<?php
//values to be inserted in database table
//session_start();
include('connect.php');
//Fixed cost of 10 to fit server req
//Random salt to be added to the pass
$options = [
'cost' => 10,
'salt' => mcrypt_create_iv(22, MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM),
];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password= password_hash($_POST['password'], PASSWORD_BCRYPT, $options);
$username= $_POST['username'];
$query = "INSERT INTO users (username, email, password) VALUES(?, ?, ?)";
$statement = $mysqli->prepare($query);
//bind parameters for markers, where (s = string, i = integer, d = double, b = blob)
$statement->bind_param('sss', $username, $email, $password);
if($statement->execute()){
print 'Success! ID of last inserted record is : ' .$statement->insert_id .'<br />';
}else{
die('Error : ('. $mysqli->errno .') '. $mysqli->error);
}
$statement->close();
?>
