I've created a website and I want to have certain users who are able to log in and edit the content if they see something that needs changed. I'm using password_hash for the passwords.
But now I'm confused on how to let these users edit content on the website, say for example I have this bit of code:
<div class="-container-white" style="padding:128px 16px" id="charities">
<h3 class="-center">SUPPORTING CHARITIES</h3>
<p>Over the years we have been helping raise money for a number of charities.</p>
<p>These include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cash For Kids</li>
<li>Cancer Research</li>
</ul>
<p>We also have helped numerous organisations out by donating products they can use in their raffles</p>
<p> If you know of any charities or would like to discuss having products donated for raffles please do not hesitate to get in touch</p>
<p>We are proud to to support these charities and can not thank you, customers, enough for helping us do this</p>
<div class="-row-padding -center" style="margin-top:64px">
</div>
</div>
Now the point of having these users is to make it easier for updating the website so if they find something wrong they can easily change it without having to ask me to go into the code and change it. What would I need to change in order to allow this to happen, i.e make this editable once one of the admin users are logged in.
This is my login page with the sql code if this helps:
<?php
// Initialize the session
session_start();
// Check if the user is already logged in, if yes then redirect him to welcome page
if(isset($_SESSION["loggedin"]) && $_SESSION["loggedin"] === true){
header("location: welcome.php");
exit;
}
// Include config file
require_once "config.php";
// Define variables and initialize with empty values
$username = $password = "";
$username_err = $password_err = "";
// Processing form data when form is submitted
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
// Check if username is empty
if(empty(trim($_POST["username"]))){
$username_err = "Please enter username.";
} else{
$username = trim($_POST["username"]);
}
// Check if password is empty
if(empty(trim($_POST["password"]))){
$password_err = "Please enter your password.";
} else{
$password = trim($_POST["password"]);
}
// Validate credentials
if(empty($username_err) && empty($password_err)){
// Prepare a select statement
$sql = "SELECT id, email, password, last_name, first_name username, FROM admin_users WHERE username = ?";
if($stmt = mysqli_prepare($link, $sql)){
// Bind variables to the prepared statement as parameters
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt, "s", $param_username);
// Set parameters
$param_username = $username;
// Attempt to execute the prepared statement
if(mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt)){
// Store result
mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt);
// Check if username exists, if yes then verify password
if(mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt) == 1){
// Bind result variables
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $id, $username, $hashed_password);
if(mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt)){
if(password_verify($password, $hashed_password)){
// Password is correct, so start a new session
session_start();
// Store data in session variables
$_SESSION["loggedin"] = true;
$_SESSION["id"] = $id;
$_SESSION["username"] = $username;
// Redirect user to welcome page
header("location: welcome.php");
} else{
// Display an error message if password is not valid
$password_err = "The password you entered was not valid.";
}
}
} else{
// Display an error message if username doesn't exist
$username_err = "No account found with that username.";
}
} else{
echo "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later.";
}
}
// Close statement
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt);
}
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);
}
?>

The welcome.php page is just standard page in place at the moment until I can get this working properly.
