Why can't I get a TRUE return in this prepared statement?
- by Cortopasta
I can't seem to get this to do anything but return false. My best guess is that the prepared statement isn't executing, but I have no idea why.
private function check_credentials($plain_username, $md5_password)
{
global $dbcon;
$ac = new ac();
$ac->dbconnect();
$userid = $dbcon->prepare('SELECT id FROM users WHERE username = :username AND password = :password LIMIT 1');
$userid->bindParam(':username', $plain_username);
$userid->bindParam(':password', $md5_password);
$userid->execute();
$id = $userid->fetch();
Return $id;
}
*EDIT:*I've even tried hard coding the username and password into the function itself to try and isolate the problem like this:
private function check_credentials($plain_username, $md5_password)
{
global $dbcon;
$plain_username = "jim";
$md5_username = "waffles";
$ac = new ac();
$ac->dbconnect();
$userid = $dbcon->prepare('SELECT id FROM users WHERE username = :username AND password = :password LIMIT 1');
$userid->bindParam(':username', $plain_username);
$userid->bindParam(':password', $md5_password);
$userid->execute();
print_r($dbcon->errorInfo());
$id = $userid->fetch();
Return $id;
}
Still nothing :-/
