I am developing an Android mobile app login and registration to MySQL, PHP and SQLite. I am referring to http://www.androidhive.info/2012/01/android-login-and-registration-with-php-mysql-and-sqlite/. However I am facing some problem as the PHP keeps reminding me of the deprecation of mysql_connect(). So I had switch all the MySQL syntax to MySQLi syntax. And the connection is successfully established. When I pass in the data: "tag,name,email and password" The PHP file which is responsible for processing this data and return in JSON response, under the Response tab it's shown: Response does not contain any data.
.
This is the result page using Advanced Rest Client Application to test the response:
My php file which should process the data:
<?php
/**
* File to handle all API requests
* Accepts GET and POST
*
* Each request will be identified by TAG
* Response will be JSON data
/**
* check for POST request
*/
if (isset($_POST['tag']) && $_POST['tag'] != '') {
// get tag
$tag = $_POST['tag'];
// include db handler
require_once 'include/DB_Functions.php';
$db = new DB_Functions();
// response Array
$response = array();
// check for tag type
if ($tag == 'login') {
// Request type is check Login
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
// check for user
$user = $db->getUserByEmailAndPassword($email, $password);
if ($user != false) {
// user found
$response["error"] = FALSE;
$response["uid"] = $user["unique_id"];
$response["user"]["name"] = $user["name"];
$response["user"]["email"] = $user["email"];
$response["user"]["created_at"] = $user["created_at"];
$response["user"]["updated_at"] = $user["updated_at"];
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
// user not found
// echo json with error = 1
$response["error"] = TRUE;
$response["error_msg"] = "Incorrect email or password!";
echo json_encode($response);
}
} else if ($tag == 'register') {
// Request type is Register new user
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
// check if user is already existed
if ($db->isUserExisted($email)) {
// user is already existed - error response
$response["error"] = TRUE;
$response["error_msg"] = "User already existed";
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
// store user
$user = $db->storeUser($name, $email, $password);
if ($user) {
// user stored successfully
$response["error"] = FALSE;
$response["uid"] = $user["unique_id"];
$response["user"]["name"] = $user["name"];
$response["user"]["email"] = $user["email"];
$response["user"]["created_at"] = $user["created_at"];
$response["user"]["updated_at"] = $user["updated_at"];
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
// user failed to store
$response["error"] = TRUE;
$response["error_msg"] = "Error occured in Registartion";
echo json_encode($response);
}
}
} else {
// user failed to store
$response["error"] = TRUE;
$response["error_msg"] = "Unknow 'tag' value. It should be either 'login' or 'register'";
echo json_encode($response);
}
} else {
$response["error"] = TRUE;
$response["error_msg"] = "Required parameter 'tag' is missing!";
echo json_encode($response);
}
?>
Does anyone have idea about how to solve this?
