In this tutorial, I’ll be teaching you how you can create your very own secure PHP login system. A login form is what your website’s visitors can use to log in to your website to access restricted content, such as a profile page. We will leverage MySQL to retrieve account data from the database.<\/p>\n
There are a few steps we need to take before we create our secure login system. We need to set up our web server environment and ensure we have the required extensions enabled.<\/p>\n
We can now start our web server and create the files and directories we’re going to use for our login system.<\/p>\n
