[SOLVED] Registration and login not working

Hi everyone,

I'm having another go at getting a working version of this application working and hit a stumbling block when the login wasn't redirecting to the home page with the "logged in" echo. So I don't think the registration has worked. My app either has dozens of versions of user accounts added or none at all lol

I've spent some time looking at my JWT configuration, functions and procedures and can't find the problem. Would appreciate a pointer or two. :)

I've been developing this on localhost but put the latest version up on my server. https://projects.jonniegrieve.co.uk/php_auth/

I also have the latest commit here on my repo. https://bitbucket.org/jg_digitalMedia/php_auth

Hi Jonathan, just tried to take a look on your bitbucket repo but it's given me an 'Access denied' error after logging in, so you may need to update a privacy setting on your repo.

So sorry... I really should remember to review the privacy settings when I'm sharing my repos :)

Should be available now.

Just to let you know I eventually resolved this. I was using the wrong value for the get() method on the confirm password input field which is why it wasn't redirecting.

I was earlier able to download a DB browser so I could look at the database and verified I wasn't getting any registrations into the database and therefore no logins. Now I know why. :)
