PHP - Simple Password Hider Using JavaScript

Submitted by razormist on Thursday, January 31, 2019 - 21:48.

In this tutorial we will create a Simple Password Hider using JavaScript. Using PHP, you can let your user directly interact with the script and easily to learned its syntax. JavaScript is designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML. It is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, via classes and id's attribute. So let's now do the coding...

Getting started:

First you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that run PHP scripts. Here's the link for XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html. Lastly, this is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating Database

Open your database web server then create a database name in it db_hider, after that click Import then locate the database file inside the folder of the application then click ok. tut1

Creating the database connection

Open your any kind of text editor(notepad++, etc..). Then just copy/paste the code below then name it conn.php.

<?php
        $conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "db_hider") or die(mysqli_error());
        
        if(!$conn){
                die("Error: Failed to connect to database!");
        }
        
        $default_query = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM `user`") or die(mysqli_error());
        $default_check = mysqli_num_rows($default_query);
        
        if($default_check === 0){
                mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO `user` VALUES('', 'admin', 'admin')") or die(mysqli_error());
        }
?>

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as shown below. index.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
        </head>
<body>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">PHP - Simple Password Hider</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <div class="col-md-3"></div>
                <div class="col-md-6" style="border:1px dotted #ccc; padding:20px;">
                        <form method="POST" action="login.php">
                                <div class="form-group">
                                        <label>Username</label>
                                        <input type="text" class="form-control" name="username" required="required"/>
                                </div>
                                <div class="form-group">
                                        <label>Password</label>
                                        <input type="password" id="password" class="form-control" name="password" required="required"/>
                                </div>
                                <p><input type="checkbox" onclick="passwordHider();"/>Show Password</p>
                                <button class="btn btn-primary" name="login"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-in"></span> Login</button>
                        </form>
                </div>
        </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
        function passwordHider(){
                var input = document.getElementById('password');
                
                if(input.type === "password"){
                        input.type = "text";
                }else{
                        input.type = "password";
                }
        }
</script>       
</body> 
</html>

home.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<?php
        session_start();
        if(!ISSET($_SESSION['user'])){
                header("location: index.php");
        }
?>
<html>
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
        </head>
<body>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">PHP - Simple Password Hider</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <div class="col-md-3"></div>
                <div class="col-md-6" style="border:1px dotted #ccc; padding:20px;">
                        <h2>Welcome!</h2>
                        <a href="logout.php">Logout</a>
                </div>
        </div>
</body> 
</html>

Creating the PHP Query

This code contains the php query of the application. This code will login the user to the main page, and also can logout after exploring the page. To do this just copy and write these block of codes as shown below inside the text editor and save it as shown below. login.php

<?php
        session_start();
        require_once 'conn.php';
        
        if(ISSET($_POST['login'])){
                $username = $_POST['username'];
                $password = $_POST['password'];
                
                $query = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE `username` = '$username' && `password` = '$password'") or die(mysqli_error());
                $rows = mysqli_num_rows($query);
                $fetch = mysqli_fetch_array($query);
                
                if($rows > 0){
                        $_SESSION['user'] = $fetch['user_id'];
                        header('location: home.php');
                }else{
                        echo "<script>alert('Invalid username or password')</script>";
                        echo "<script>window.location = 'index.php'</script>";
                }
        }
?>

logout.php

<?php
        session_start();
        unset($_SESSION['user']);
        header("location: index.php");
?>
