Your code doesn't validate if dbConnection() returns a null on failure.
Have you verified that the database connection can log-in successfully? -

When you call prepare in runQuery, how do you know if the database connection has connected succesfully?
For this test, try to replace:
with:Code:echo "Connection error: " . $exception->getMessage();
and then post the result you receive now.Code:die("Connection error: " . $exception->getMessage()); -

If you just tried it you would find the answer faster.
you can use it for testing the database connection.
Maybe you should add "error_reporting(-1);" at top of the code too:
Code:<?php error_reporting(-1); $servername = "localhost"; // rest of code ...

this config.php is working properly ...
i have a total of 9 files from the tutorial in my htdocs folder ...PHP Code:<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "root";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
index.php
home.php
signup.php
fpass.php
resetpass.php
classuser.php
dbconfig.php
verify.php
logout.php
...
i thought after creating the database and table and giving it the proper database connection details , it would work ....
i have few more doubts ...
what is the differences between these two files ..??
config.php
PHP Code:<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "root";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
dbconfig.php
PHP Code:<?php
class Database
{
private $host = "localhost";
private $db_name = "dbtest";
private $username = "root";
private $password = "";
public $conn;
public function dbConnection()
{
$this->conn = null;
try
{
$this->conn = new PDO("mysql:host=" . $this->host . ";dbname=" . $this->db_name, $this->username, $this->password);
$this->conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $exception)
{
echo "Connection error: " . $exception->getMessage();
}
return $this->conn;
}
}
?>
i think this is the file that gives me most of the errors ...
anyway i will keep on trying to fix the errors ...PHP Code:<?php

Browsing to the dbconfig.php file would only tell you useful information if there was a syntax error in the file. Since there's no code being executed in the file, you won't normally get any output from that file. The file only contains the class definition.
The latest code you posted, reply #9, for dbconfig.php doesn't have the change that was given in reply #6. This would have halted execution if there is a connection error and prevented any follow-on errors, which is what you are getting now. The error, when you try to execute a query, isn't the cause of the problem, it's just a symptom at the tail end of the problem.
I'm betting that when you browse to the signup.php page, you will see some type of PDO error near the top of the page concerning the connection failing. You may need to look in the 'view source' of the page if the styling for that page is dark on dark or low contrast colors. -

It would appear that you have placed the php code after the end of the html document in all the files, not before, as it was originally written. This won't produce the result you expect and won't work correctly for the $msg output or the session_start()/header() statements.
Beyond that, the tutorial you found has a number of problems and you should not try to use it or learn any (bad) practices from it. The biggest problem with it is in the user class definition. The user class should not be where the database connection is created at (your main application code should be responsible for creating the database connection) and it should only contain class methods that are user related. Doing a redirect and sending email are not user methods. Also, if the user class was designed and used correctly, there would be NO query directly referencing tbl_user in the main application logic. This class looks like it is just a collection of procedural code that has had a class definition wrapped around it. -

thanks JCLasen ,
There are (more than) three popular ways to use MySQL from PHP.
(DEPRECATED) The mysql functions are procedural and use manual escaping.
mysqli is a replacement for the mysql functions, with object-oriented and procedural versions. It has support for prepared statements.
PDO (PHP Data Objects) is a general database abstraction layer with support for MySQL among many other databases. It provides prepared statements, and significant flexibility in how data is returned.
I would recommend using PDO with prepared statements. It is a well-designed API and will let you more easily move to another database (including any that supports ODBC) if necessary.
DSmabismad ,
